Conversion of post consumer polyethylene to the biodegradable polymer polyhydroxyalkanoate

Maciej Guzik, Shane T. Kenny, +6 authors Kevin E. O’Connor
Published 2013 in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology

Abstract

A process for the conversion of post consumer (agricultural) polyethylene (PE) waste to the biodegradable polymer medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA) is reported here. The thermal treatment of PE in the absence of air (pyrolysis) generated a complex mixture of low molecular weight paraffins with carbon chain lengths from C8 to C32 (PE… (More)
