Principles and methods for selecting membrane separation process of Chinese materia medica based on “green manufacturing” concept / 中草药

ABSTRACT

The Chinese materia medica pharmaceutical process route designed for green manufacturing, also known as “green design”, aims to minimize the resource consumption and environmental effect of the life cycle of products process, coordinate and optimize economic and environmental efficiency. With membrane technology at the core of the pharmaceutical separation process technology closely related to green manufacturing of drugs. The three major requirements and maturity of “environment, performance, and cost” and separation technology principle are the basic elements of the pharmaceutical separation process green design. The development and adoption of clean technology not only conforms to the “principle of precautionary superior to governance”, but also reduces the consumption of raw materials and energy, and at the same time improves the economic efficiency of the enterprises. It is the best way to protect the coordinated development of the ecological environment and economic construction. In this paper, taking the construction of “membrane and resin technology system integration” as an example, the specific implementation plan for the green design of Chinese materia medica pharmaceutical process is introduced, and the technical economical problems in the design of pharmaceutical separation process are analyzed and discussed.
