CBD Purification HPLC Method
CBD purification is based on reverse-phase liquid chromatography. This technique is based on the proven plant extraction and purification technologies in industrial areas.
HPLC method has the advantages of high pressure, reliable performance, safety, and low maintenance cost. The production cost and the purity of the final chemical are all controlled.
Compare with other methods, the solvent and packing material costs in HPLC can reduce over 50%.
For pharmaceutical-grade CBD powders, the HPLC purification method is the best choice. Combine with recrystallization, you can get 99%-99.9% CBD powder.

HPLC vs. Flash Chromatography For CBD Purification
1. Flow Rate
The flow rate of the prep HPLC system is from 300ml/min to 6L/min which is more suitable for industrial purposes. The flow rate of the common flash chromatography system is 200-300 ml/min. The maximum flow rate of the prep flash chromatography system is 800 ml/min.
2. Purification Time
Under the same flow rate, the purification time of the prep HPLC system is less than half the time that the flash chromatography system takes.
3. Solvent Consumption
Prep HPLC : Flash = 1 : 2.5-3 (same condition)
4. Packing Material
Prep HPLC system has multiple choice for the particle size of packing material from 5um to 100um. For flash chromatography, 10um particles may too small because of their low flow rate.
5. Safty
The explosive-proof cabinet is optical for high demand plants.
