The application discloses a method for recovering paracetamol, which comprises the following steps: dissolving substandard paracetamol particles in water, cooling, and removing most of
starch-containing accessories in the particles; since the
crystal particles of paracetamol product in the
system are large and easy to precipitate, the paracetamol product can be obtained by fully utilizing the cooling and standing; the paste solution formed in the heating process of the
starch accessories can be effectively separated by means of simple
decantation; the first
clear liquid can be continuously separated by
decantation after standing to obtain the second
solid paracetamol; and the
solid particles of the two times are combined and refined. The
recovery method is simple and easy to operate as a whole, does not need to use
ethanol as a
solvent, is low in cost, high in
recovery rate, and can provide a reference for industrial-scale
recovery of substandard paracetamol particles.
