Abstract: Peanut is the main oil and economic crop in China, as a by-product, peanut shell accounts for about 30% of the peanut production. The peanut shell contains a variety of minerals and functional components, and has important application values in agricultural production, food processing, functional product development and so on. However, due to the limited technologies and backward techniques, most of peanut shell was still used as feed and fertilizer, the added value and utilization rate were low. Recently, efforts have been made to explore the utilization of peanut shell. In this paper, the composition of peanut shell and its applications and key technologies in agriculture, food, medicine, environmental protection, chemical industry and construction were reviewed and discussed. It is believed that the in- depth utilization of peanut shells would add an important value to peanut plants, but for large-scale production and utilization of peanut shells, technologies should be optimized and improved after the laboratory stage, to truly realize the circular agriculture and low carbon economy.
