Abstract
Abietic acid was isolated by means of isomerization and amination reaction-crystallization coupled with ultrasonic wave. Isomerization rosin and ethanolamine were used as raw materials, 95% ethanol as recrystallization solvent, the effects of reaction temperature, reaction time, agitating velocity, ultrasound intensity and recrystallization times on the purity and yield of abietic acid were investigated. The suitable isolation conditions were obtained as follow: reaction temperature 30 °C, reaction time 40 min, agitating velocity 400 rpm, ultrasound intensity 300 W and freeze crystallization of amine salt three times. The purity and yield of abietic acid were 98.52% and 54.93% when the suitable conditions were used. And it was then characterization by its melting point, specific rotation, UV, FTIR and NMR, all evidence indicated that the purification product was abietic acid.
