Biodegradability of polyesters having tetrahydropyran rings in their backbones

Abstract: SYNOPSISBiodegradability of several homo-and copolyesters, containing tetrahydropyran rings in their backbones with or without pendant groups, was investigated by degradation tests, both in soil and in an activated sludge. These polyesters were hydrolytically degraded to lower molecular weight compounds, and eventually to hydroxytetrahydropyran carboxylic acids, at different rates, depending on their molecular structure. Quantitative determination of carbon dioxide, generated during the treatment with the acti… Show more

“…In light of these facts, it was concluded that the polyester‐coated layers (B, C, and D boards) were degradable in suitable conditions in a reasonable period of time, but that the polyethylene‐coated layer of E board was not. Okada et al15 studied the biodegradability of polyesters in soil environment. He buried a thin film of several homo‐ and copolyesters in soil for 1–3 months.…”

“…An apparatus for the degradation test of polyamides in an activated sludge is illustrated in Figure 1, which is a modification of that reported in a previous study 19. Nylon4 powder (about 0.33 g) was charged into a flask containing 200 mL of an activated sludge (pH 6.9), which was obtained at the sewage disposal institution at Kogakuin University.…”

The carbon dioxide-free air was prepared by passing through 0.125N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and 0.05N aqueous barium hydroxide solution in six flasks connected in series (No.…”
