This invention relates to a method for extracting and separating high-purity natural
nicotine from tobacco. The invention utilizes high-speed
countercurrent chromatography to prepare high-purity natural
nicotine. By selecting a suitable
solvent system, a
system with an appropriate
partition coefficient is obtained, significantly improving the separation and purification effect of
nicotine. The process is simpler, more convenient to operate, results in no sample loss, is highly efficient and rapid, and allows for large-scale preparation with high purity. This invention also utilizes a eutectic
solvent to extract natural nicotine from tobacco. This eutectic
solvent is safe, low in
toxicity, non-volatile, and reusable, making it a green and
environmentally friendly solvent. The extraction method has high extraction efficiency, produces fewer impurities in the extract, and significantly reduces the amount of volatile organic solvents used, making it even more
environmentally friendly.
