Anaerobic degradation of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate.

Abstract:

:The anaerobic degradation of the polyesters poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV) was investigated with special regard to intermediate products, kinetics, and yields. During the degradation of PHBV acetate, propionate, n-butyrate, and n-valerate were detected. Additionally, 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate and four dimeric esters of these two molecules were identified by GC-MS measurements. Three different test systems for the anaerobic degradation of polyesters were studied. It was not possible to get reproducible results by means of the Anaerobic Sturm-test, a simple system based on carbon dioxide measurement. Secondly, a system based on the GC measurement of accumulated organic acids was investigated. A degradation of 90% in two days was calculated by a carbon balance. Best results were reached with the third test system based on the measurement of methane with a gas meter. A degradation of 99% was observed within 30 days.
