Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of ecological environmental protection, and integrates knowledge of different disciplines such as mechanics, magnetic energy, biology, etc. into a set of process flow that can effectively process traditional Chinese medicine residues, and specifically relates to a process flow for processing traditional Chinese medicine residues and its application. Background Art

[0002] Drug residue is a kind of waste at the end of traditional Chinese medicine production, that is, the waste residue produced after the extraction and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. Drug residue is not only a kind of biological resource that is not fully utilized, but also a potential source of environmental pollution. Traditional Chinese medicine is mostly plant medicine, and all medicines are based on grass. Before the medicine is used or made into various dosage forms, it needs to be processed according to the needs of medical treatment, modulation, and preparation. The commonly used processing methods include repair, water processing, fire processing, water and fire co-processing, etc., and some residual materials will be generated during the production process. Although the drug residue has been extracted, it still contains a large amount of cellulose, lignin, protein, polysaccharides, inorganic salts, saponins, alkaloids, volatile oils, brass and other components and a variety of trace elements, which are of great development and utilization value. If it is not handled in time, it will spontaneously mold and rot and have a peculiar smell, causing natural environmental pollution. With the increasingly widespread use of traditional Chinese medicine, the amount of Chinese medicine residue generated is also increasing year by year. In order to achieve the hygienic standards of the factory environment, many Chinese medicine companies only carry out irregular collection and disposal of these Chinese medicine residues by themselves. A small part of these Chinese medicine residues is used as feed, and most of them are landfilled or incinerated. The above treatment methods not only pollute the environment, but also are a huge waste of resources. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the problem in the background technology that the existing Chinese medicine residues are usually discarded without being developed, resulting in resource waste and environmental pollution, the present invention provides a Chinese medicine residue treatment process and application thereof.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is: a process flow for treating Chinese medicinal residues, comprising the following steps:

[0005] Step 1, the medicine residue transfer warehouse, transfers the Chinese medicinal materials after extraction with a moisture content of about 80% to the medicine residue transfer warehouse for mixing and stirring, and then transports it to the next process;

[0006] Step 2, the wet material crushing system is used to pre-treat and crush the Chinese medicine residues: the rhizomes and / or block materials of the Chinese medicine residues with different raw materials are crushed to make the length and size of the materials uniform, and then transported to the next process;

[0007] Step 3: The medicine residue dehydration system is used to remove part of the water in the Chinese medicine residue, so that the moisture content of the Chinese medicine residue is about 60%, and then it is transported to the next process;

[0008] Step 4: The fiber crushing system is used to further refine the solid material form, break up and crush the Chinese medicine residue after extrusion and dehydration, and then transport it to the next process;

[0009] Step 5: Fermentation silo: The materials and fermentation auxiliary materials after being broken up and crushed by the fiber crushing system are transported to the fermentation silo. Through the stirring and heating auxiliary fermentation functions, the materials and auxiliary materials are evenly stirred and then heated to assist in removing moisture, reducing the moisture content of the materials to 30%, and fermenting in the fermentation silo;

[0010] Step 6: The fermented material in the fermentation silo is transported to the next process as organic fertilizer or organic feed for finished product packaging.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, two-stage dehydration is adopted in step 3. In the first stage, an auger is used for dehydration. The spiral auger is divided into a transmission section, a compression section and a discharge section. The transmission section ensures smooth entry of the material. The pitch and inner diameter of the spiral blades in the dehydration section become smaller step by step, so that the transmission space becomes smaller step by step. As the transmission space becomes smaller step by step, the pressure on the material increases step by step, forcing the material volume to shrink and squeeze out the water; in the second stage, a material blocking device is used for dehydration. When the material enters the discharge section of the spiral auger, the auger will exert an axial thrust on the material to push it out of the discharge port. At the same time, the spring pressing device exerts a force on the direction of the material, thereby forming an extrusion force to dehydrate the material in the second stage. The moisture content of the medicinal residue after extrusion is about 60%.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the fermentation auxiliary materials include a mixture of fermentation flora auxiliary materials and trace element auxiliary materials, and are accurately proportioned according to the types of Chinese medicine residues and conveyed under the control of a frequency converter to ensure that the materials are continuously and evenly input into the fermentation silo.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the fermentation auxiliary material includes magnetic energy biological fermentation nutrient solution.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the specific process of heating the fermentation silo by steam heating to assist the rapid fermentation of Chinese medicinal residues into finished products within 24 hours is as follows: the medicinal residues and fermentation auxiliary materials continuously enter the fermentation silo through the feed port, and steam heating is turned on after one hour. At the same time, compressed air, agitator, and exhaust fan are turned on. When the material reaches a certain amount, the material conveying is stopped, and the material is fully and evenly mixed through a two-way stirring mechanism.

[0015] An application of Chinese medicinal residues, using the effective matter treated by the above-mentioned Chinese medicinal residue treatment process as a biological functional organic fertilizer for soil conditioner, special fertilizer for medicinal source planting, and organic matter for seedling cultivation.

[0016] An application of Chinese medicinal residues, wherein the effective materials treated by the above-mentioned Chinese medicinal residue treatment process are used as biological feed for cattle and sheep green fodder, auxiliary materials and bedding materials in the breeding industry, and auxiliary materials for pig feed.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are that it is environmentally friendly and pollution-free, and that Chinese medicine residues can be effectively developed and recycled as resources, and that unused holographic nutritional components of Chinese medicinal materials can be effectively developed, transformed and utilized, turning them into products with high added value, thereby achieving harmless treatment of Chinese medicine residues and effective energy utilization of Chinese medicine residues.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The embodiments of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0021] Depend on Figure 1 As shown, a process flow for treating Chinese medicinal residues comprises the following steps:

[0022] Step 1, the medicine residue transfer warehouse, transfers the Chinese medicinal materials after extraction with a moisture content of about 80% to the medicine residue transfer warehouse for mixing and stirring, and then transports it to the next process;

[0023] Step 2, the wet material crushing system is used to pre-treat and crush the Chinese medicine residues: the rhizomes and / or block materials of the Chinese medicine residues with different raw materials are crushed to make the length and size of the materials uniform, and then transported to the next process;

[0024] Step 3: The medicine residue dehydration system is used to remove part of the water in the Chinese medicine residue, so that the moisture content of the Chinese medicine residue is about 60%, and then it is transported to the next process;

[0025] Step 4: The fiber crushing system is used to further refine the solid material form, break up and crush the Chinese medicine residue after extrusion and dehydration, and then transport it to the next process;

[0026] Step 5: Fermentation silo: The materials and fermentation auxiliary materials after being broken up and crushed by the fiber crushing system are transported to the fermentation silo. Through the stirring and heating auxiliary fermentation functions, the materials and auxiliary materials are evenly stirred and then heated to assist in removing moisture, reducing the moisture content of the materials to 30%, and fermenting in the fermentation silo;

[0027] Step 6: The fermented material in the fermentation silo is transported to the next process as organic fertilizer or organic feed for finished product packaging. The beneficial effects of the present invention are that it is environmentally friendly and pollution-free, and the Chinese medicine residues are effectively developed and recycled as resources, and the unused holographic nutrients of Chinese medicinal materials are effectively developed, converted and utilized, turning them into high value-added products, achieving harmless treatment of Chinese medicine residues, and achieving effective energy utilization of Chinese medicine residues. Magnetic fertilizers involve organic fertilizers, biofertilizers, and compound fertilizers. Their unique magnetic properties are obviously superior to fertilizers without magnetic properties. They can significantly improve the properties of crops and increase yield and quality. Nano fertilizer is a new thing. It is a high-tech developed by combining nano technology, pharmaceutical microcapsule technology and chemical microemulsification technology. It includes three categories: nano structure feeding, nano magnetic fertilizer and nano bio-composite fertilizer. These nano fertilizers have a magnetic effect as a whole due to the nano small size effect of themselves or the materials used, so that nutrients are more easily absorbed by plants. The present invention adopts a two-way stirring method to ensure the fluidity of the material, and uses the centrifugal force of the rotor to evenly mix the material. Combined with the biological effect of the nano magnetic energy fermentation package, a safe and efficient production process is achieved to process the Chinese medicine residue into functional biological organic fertilizer and other products.

[0028] In step 3, two stages of dehydration are used. In the first stage, the auger is used for dehydration. The spiral auger is divided into a transmission section, a compression section, and a discharge section. The transmission section ensures that the material enters smoothly. The pitch and inner diameter of the spiral blades in the dehydration section gradually decrease, so that the transmission space gradually decreases. As the transmission space gradually decreases, the pressure on the material gradually increases, forcing the material volume to shrink and squeeze out the water; in the second stage, the material blocking device is used for dehydration. When the material enters the discharge section of the spiral auger, the auger will apply an axial thrust to the material to push it out of the discharge port. At the same time, the spring top pressure device applies a force in the direction of the material, thereby forming an extrusion force to dehydrate the material in the second stage. The moisture content of the drug residue after extrusion is about 60%. This process allows the drug residue to be reliably dehydrated and is convenient for subsequent processing.

[0029] The fermentation auxiliary materials include a mixture of fermentation flora auxiliary materials and trace element auxiliary materials, which are accurately proportioned according to the types of Chinese medicinal residues and conveyed under the control of a frequency converter to ensure that the materials are continuously and evenly input into the fermentation silo.

[0030] The fermentation flora is Bacillus mycoides, which is an endophytic bacterium of plants. It can enter plant tissues and coexist with the plant body. It does not cause damage or harm to the plant itself, but promotes plant growth and disease resistance. There are currently many theories and reports supporting its mechanism of action. One theory is that it induces disease resistance, but there are also reports that it is due to the competition of the bacteria themselves for nutrients and living space. Its true mechanism of action has not yet been determined in academia, but most of them are biased towards the induction of disease resistance. Of course, in the actual production process, the fermentation flora can also be phosphate-melting flora and high-temperature composting bacteria. Specifically, the fermentation auxiliary material package powder is usually: Lianfa No. 1, Lianfa No. 2 (Bacillus mycoides), Jinfa high-temperature fermentation bacteria (Jinfa 500, which is a high-temperature composting bacteria produced by Guangdong Huiyang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), Azomai, fish protein peptides, molasses fermentation powder, etc. Lianfa No. 1 (Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacteria Inoculant No.1) is a product produced by Lianfa Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Phosphate-dissolving microorganisms are a general term for microorganisms that can dissolve inorganic or organic phosphates that are not easily soluble in the soil. In recent years, a lot of chemical phosphate fertilizers have been applied in agriculture. However, the effective phosphorus in phosphate fertilizers is very easy to combine with positive ions (calcium, iron, aluminum, magnesium, etc.) in the soil to form insoluble phosphorus compounds, such as calcium phosphate, iron phosphate, aluminum phosphate, etc., and the loss of phosphorus is small, so phosphorus accumulates in farmland, but it is not easy for crops to use it. If phosphate-dissolving microorganisms can be used, it will be beneficial to the effective application of phosphate fertilizers in the soil for crops. Among different types of phosphate-dissolving microorganisms, the phosphate-dissolving ability and the range of solubilized substances vary greatly. Some bacteria can dissolve "calcium-phosphate compounds" but cannot dissolve "iron-phosphate compounds". Some strains can dissolve a variety of insoluble phosphates. Common phosphate-dissolving microorganisms include bacteria and fungi, such as Pseudomonas , Bacillus, Thiobacillus, Penicillium, Aspergillus, etc. Since phosphorus exists in the soil in both inorganic and organic forms, after phosphate fertilizer is applied to the soil, phosphorus is often fixed and not easily dissolved, so it is not easily absorbed by plants, and phosphorus has poor mobility in the soil, is not easily lost and often accumulates in farmland. The role of phosphate-dissolving microorganisms is to dissolve this accumulated phosphorus and convert it into phosphorus that can be used by plants, increase the excellent physical properties of the soil, and promote the extension of plant roots, which is beneficial to nutrient absorption. At present, the mechanism by which phosphate-dissolving microorganisms in the soil dissolve inorganic phosphorus sources to release phosphate ions is generally more accepted that microorganisms in the soil synthesize organic acids to dissolve phosphates, and the reasons include the acidification of organic acids, which lowers the pH value by dissociating hydrogen ions from organic acids, thereby dissolving phosphates.Lianfa No. 1: Phosphorus-dissolving microorganisms secrete organic acids and other substances to dissolve calcium-phosphorus compounds, iron-phosphorus compounds, and aluminum-phosphorus compounds in the soil that are difficult for crops to absorb, thereby promoting the dissolution and utilization of ineffective phosphorus in the soil, thereby assisting the growth of microorganisms in the soil, preventing the occurrence of soil diseases, and reducing problems such as continuous cropping obstacles, thereby achieving the effect of soil improvement). Lianfa No. 2 (Bacillus mycoides), golden high temperature fermentation bacteria combined with Azomai, fish protein peptides, molasses baking powder and other formulas can quickly heat up the material to assist in decomposing organic matter and removing moisture. Azomai mainly provides a variety of trace elements; Azomai is a unique special composite trace element mineral imported from Utah, USA. It originates from ancient seabed sediments 30 million years ago. During its formation, a large number of aquatic biological remains were mixed and accumulated, thus accumulating balanced trace elements; Azomai is a rare pure natural aluminum silicate clay mineral. Through a large number of experiments by scientists and field application results, it is shown that the rare earth elements in it can stimulate the activity of superoxide isomerase, catalase and other oxidative enzymes in plant cells, reduce superoxide and other oxidative free radicals in plant cells. At the same time, it reduces cell membrane damage. Improve plant cells and resist adversity, thereby accelerating growth. Azomai can promote the growth and development of plants, increase stress resistance, increase their biological yield and improve quality. As a seed dressing agent, it can promote germination rate.

[0031] Lianfa No. 2 (Bacillus mycoides) is a product produced by Lianfa Biotechnology Co., Ltd. It is a distinctive species of Bacillus sp., and its Chinese name is Bacillus mycoides. Since this name is only commonly used in China and purely academic Chinese reports, we usually call it by its genus name - Bacillus subtilis, or directly by its scientific name abbreviation - BM.

[0032] The fermentation auxiliary materials include magnetic energy biological fermentation nutrient solution. More specifically, the liquid fermentation auxiliary materials are usually nano magnetic energy fermentation solution, Jinfa functional bacteria (Jinfa 800, a biological functional bacteria produced by Guangdong Huiyang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), and UMEM bacteria.

[0033] The specific process of heating the fermentation silo by using steam heating to assist the 24-hour rapid fermentation of Chinese medicine residue into finished products is as follows: the residue and fermentation auxiliary materials continuously enter the fermentation silo through the feed port, and steam heating is turned on after one hour. At the same time, the compressed air, mixer, and exhaust fan are turned on. When the material reaches a certain amount, the material conveying is stopped, and the material is fully and evenly mixed through the two-way stirring mechanism. The principle of heating the fermentation silo adopts steam heating to assist the 24-hour rapid fermentation of Chinese medicine residue into finished products, shortening the production time and improving production efficiency.
