Application of Ceramic Membrane in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Chinese medicine, as a treasure of the Chinese nation, plays an important role in disease prevention and treatment. However, the traditional production method of traditional Chinese medicine has problems such as low extraction efficiency, high impurity content and poor product stability, which restricts the modernization and international development of traditional Chinese medicine.
Ceramic membrane separation technology, as a new type of separation and purification technology, has brought a modern revolution to the traditional Chinese medicine industry.

How can ceramic membranes help modernize traditional Chinese medicine?

1. Clarification and refining of traditional Chinese medicine extracts: Traditional Chinese medicine extracts often contain a large number of suspended particles, colloids, starch, proteins and other impurities, affecting product quality and stability. Ceramic membrane with its precise pore size distribution, can effectively retain these impurities, while allowing the target active ingredients to pass, so as to realize the clarification and refining of Chinese medicine extract. 
2. Concentration of active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine: Ceramic membrane can retain the large molecules of active ingredients in the extract of traditional Chinese medicine and allow water and small molecules of impurities to pass through, so as to realize the concentration of active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine and improve the concentration and purity of the product. By filtering out the water in the medicinal liquid, the concentration of active ingredients is increased, thus reducing the dosage and making it convenient for patients to take.
3. Bacteria and pyrogen removal of Chinese medicine injection: Ceramic membrane has good performance of high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, which can withstand high temperature sterilization and effectively remove bacteria and pyrogens in Chinese medicine injection to ensure product safety.
4. Separation and purification of active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine: There are differences in molecular weights, charge properties and hydrophilicity of different active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine, so by using ceramic membranes with different pore sizes and surface properties, the separation and purification of different active ingredients can be realized, which can provide technical support for the research and development of new traditional Chinese medicine.

Application Examples of Ceramic Membrane Technology in Traditional Chinese Medicine Extraction

1. Clarification and refining of Danshen injection: The use of ceramic membrane technology can effectively remove tannins, proteins and other impurities in Danshen extract, and improve the clarity and stability of the product.
2. Concentration of Ginkgo biloba extract: The ceramic membrane technology can be used to concentrate Ginkgo biloba extract to the required concentration, and at the same time, remove some impurities and increase the content of flavonoids in the products.
3. Sterilization and depyrogenation of Shuanghuanglian injection: Using ceramic membrane technology can effectively remove bacteria and pyrogens in Shuanghuanglian extract and improve the safety of the product.
4. Separation and purification of ginsenosides: The use of ceramic membrane technology can realize the separation of different kinds of ginsenosides and improve the purity and activity of the product.
The application of ceramic membrane technology provides new ideas and methods for the modernization and development of Chinese medicine. It not only improves the quality and efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, but also improves the experience of taking traditional Chinese medicine so that more people can enjoy the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine conveniently and quickly.

However, the application of ceramic membrane technology in the field of traditional Chinese medicine is still in its infancy, and there is still much room for development in the future. For example, more efficient and energy-saving ceramic membrane materials can be developed, and the joint application of ceramic membrane technology with other traditional Chinese medicine modernization technologies can be explored.
We can look forward to the future of ceramic membrane technology, how to make Chinese medicine, the treasure of the Chinese nation renewed vigor and vitality it!
