Abstract

A method for preparing high-purity taurine and salt by reacting ethylene oxide with bisulfite to generate isethionate, performing an ammonolysis reaction on the isethionate in combination with ammonia and a metal salt, evaporating the reaction solution and subjecting the concentrated solution to ion exchange to obtain an adsorption solution, extracting taurine from the adsorption solution, eluting adsorbed metal cations from the ion exchange system by an acid, and separately collecting the eluate containing a salt.
