Current research and prospect for pyrolysis treatment of antibiotic mycelial residue
As a kind of solid waste generated during the fermentation for production of antibiotic drugs,antibiotic mycelial residue(AMR)has caused serious threat to human health and huge environmental pollution due to the inevitable residual of antibiotics and resistance genes.In this paper,the physical and chemical properties of AMR were analyzed based on their source and perniciousness.The current situation of the environmentally sound disposal of antibiotic residues by various treatment and utilization technologies were summarized.Especially,the main factors that affect the AMR pyrolysis process as well as the research progress on the application of pyrolysis products in adsorption,energy storage,catalysis,and biofuel were systematically discussed and reviewed.At last,some suggestions and prospects were put forward for the development of AMR utilization in future.It was also pointed out that the combination of two or more technologies after pretreatment of initial raw material was beneficial for the reduction and harmless treatment of AMR.Meanwhile,it had good application prospects in producing high-value-added products and alleviating fossil energy consumption.
