Recycling traditional Chinese medicine residues: a review
Traditional Chinese medicine has a rich history in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, yet the disposal of medicine residues by incineration and landfilling is challenging. Here we review methods to recycle Chinese medicine residues with focus on challenges, recycling solutions, and case studies. Cases studies include extraction of bioactive compounds, use as feed additives, and biochar-based materials. We observed that residues from single-compound medicines are easier to extract and recycle into animal feed additives or adsorbents. Technical and economic analysis show that the valorisation of single-compound medicine residues is profitable. For instance, the re-extraction cost of flavonoids is 25.8–36.6% lower than the market price, and the cost as feed additives represents 14.7% of the market prices.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Chemistry Letters explores the intersections of geology, chemistry, physics, and biology. Published articles are of paramount importance to the examination of both natural and engineered environments. The journal features original and review articles of exceptional significance, encompassing topics such as the characterization of natural and impacted environments, the behavior, prevention, treatment, and control of mineral, organic, and radioactive pollutants. It also delves into interfacial studies involving diverse media like soil, sediment, water, air, organisms, and food. Additionally, the journal covers green chemistry, environmentally friendly synthetic pathways, alternative fuels, ecotoxicology, risk assessment, environmental processes and modeling, environmental technologies, remediation and control, and environmental analytical chemistry using biomolecular tools and tracers.
