(2) adding 115kg of 5wt% KOH solution into the filtrate obtained in the step (1), heating and saponifying, and filtering the reaction solution by using a 500nm ceramic membrane to enable the polar solvent to permeate the ceramic membrane, so that the organic solvent is intercepted.
(3) After filtering, respectively passing the three sections of filtrate obtained in the step (2) through 200Da organic membranes to obtain an alcoholic solution, and returning to the step (2) for reuse, wherein trapped liquid is evaporated to obtain a protein byproduct;
(4) and (3) further evaporating the trapped fluid in the step (2) to remove the solvent to obtain the purified coenzyme Q10.
The purity of the finished product obtained by the above procedure is shown in the following table:
Figure DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
as can be seen from the table, the coenzyme Q10 product with higher purity can be obtained by the continuous separation mode of the ceramic membrane in the invention; the ceramic membrane with the surface subjected to hydrophobic treatment is adopted in the embodiments 4 and 5, so that the saponification reaction liquid containing normal hexane and a polar solvent can be more effectively separated, impurities dissolved in the polar solvent can be more effectively permeated and an organic phase can be intercepted due to the surface subjected to hydrophobic treatment, the separation effect of the ceramic membrane is better, and the purity of the coenzyme Q10 is improved; in addition, by comparing example 1 with example 1, it can be seen that the separation mode of the ceramic membrane adopted by the invention has far better saponification liquid separation effect than the traditional standing layering extraction separation mode, the separation precision is higher, and the purity of the coenzyme Q10 product is improved; furthermore, it can be seen from the examples 1 and the comparative examples 2 that, when the ceramic microfiltration membrane is used for separation, dialysis operation is also performed by using a polar solvent such as ethanol, so that impurities dissolved in the polar solvent in the saponified solution can be effectively taken away, and the impurities can permeate the ceramic membrane, thereby improving the product purity.
