The invention relates to a method for refining and purifying disodium clodronate. The method comprises the following steps: S1, treatment of
activated carbon by EDTA: adding the
activated carbon in an EDTA solution, stirring and enabling EDTA to be in full contact with the
activated carbon, and then washing the activated carbon until
chloride cannot be detected; S2, activation of the activated carbon:
drying the activated carbon in S1 and activating the activated carbon; S3,
impurity removal of the activated carbon: treating a coarse product solution of the disodium clodronate by using the activated carbon in S2, filtering, washing and controlling pH of filtrate
not to exceed 3.65; and S4,
crystallization and
drying: adding
ethanol in the filtrate of S3 while stirring, and after white crystals are separated out, standing, carrying out suction
filtration and
drying to obtain refined disodium clodronate. In the step S1, the
mass ratio of EDTA to the activated carbon is 1:800-1,200; and in the step S4, the volume ratio of the
ethanol to the filtrate is 1.08:1-2.13:1. The contents of related substances in the product refined and purified by the method provided by the invention are remarkably reduced on the premise of guaranteeing high yield, and the product has high purity and solution
clarity and good stability.
