Research Progress of Membrane Separation Technology and its Application in the Field of Traditional Chinese Medicine

As a new type of separation and purification technology,membrane separation technology has been applied in many fields like chemical engineering and biotechnology,but applied less in the field of traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy.In this paper,the separation mechanism of different kinds of membrane separation technology were introduced,such as microfiltration,ultra-filtration,nanofiltration,reverse osmosis,liquid membrane,molecular imprinting membrane,vapor permeation and so on,and the new research progress on the application of membrane separation technology in the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy was presented and the research prospects of membrane separation technology were also been pointed out.
