The present invention relates to the technical field of
metronidazole, and specifically discloses a method for recovering materials from a crude
metronidazole mother liquor. The present invention first adjusts acid for
neutralization, then concentrates and distills water, and adds low-carbon
alcohol to remove salt (
sodium sulfate), thereby avoiding the "first concentration and then
neutralization" treatment mode in which acid adjustment generates salt in the subsequent process, which is mixed into the recovered material, affecting the
recovery rate and purity of the material; low-carbon
alcohol is added to dissolve
organic matter, so as to achieve effective separation of
organic matter and
sodium sulfate, and the obtained
sodium sulfate is of high quality, meets the
quality standard of industrial-grade
sodium sulfate, can be sold as a by-product or directly used, and reduces the cost of
solid waste treatment;
carbon disulfide is used to extract the first filtrate for removing low-carbon
alcohol, so as to achieve effective separation of 2-methyl-5-
nitroimidazole and
metronidazole, improve the
recovery rate of materials 2-methyl-5-
nitroimidazole and metronidazole, solve the use problem of recovered materials, significantly improve
economic benefits and environmental benefits, and is suitable for large-scale production.
