The invention discloses a method for separating 
synephrine from 
hesperidin waste liquid, which comprises the following steps: S1, loading a 
hesperidin mother liquid to strongly acidic cationic resin, after loading is finished, eluting with water, after water 
elution is finished, eluting with a strong alkali mixed liquid, collecting an eluate after 
elution with the strong alkali mixed liquid, and adjusting the pH value of the eluent to 5-7 to obtain a neutralized solution; and S2, carrying out 
ultrafiltration on the neutralized solution, then carrying out concentration through a 
nanofiltration membrane, and carrying out cooling 
crystallization, 
filtration and 
drying on the concentrated solution to obtain 
synephrine. According to the method for separating 
synephrine from the 
hesperidin waste liquid, the hesperidin waste liquid is reused, novel poncirin is extracted from the hesperidin waste liquid, the problem of 
sewage treatment is solved while 
economic benefits are obtained, and 
waste recycling is achieved. According to the method, 
ion exchange is carried out through the strongly acidic cationic resin, 
elution is carried out through the low-concentration strong alkali 
mixed solution, no strong pungent smell exists, the requirements for production equipment and the environment are low, and the requirement for 
green production is met.
