Anaerobic biodegradation tests of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) powder were done at the thermophilic (55 degrees C) and mesophilic temperature (35 degrees C) under aquatic conditions [total solid concentrations of the used sludge were 2.07% (at 55 degrees C) and 2.24% (at 35 degrees C)] using a newly developed evaluation system. With this system, the evolved biogas is collected in a gas sampling bag at atmospheric pressure. This method is more convenient than using a pressure transducer or inverted graduated cylinder submerged in water. PLA was degraded about 60% in 30 days, about 80% in 40 days and about 90% in 60 days at 55 degrees C. On the other hand, the PLA degradation started in 55 days at 35 degrees C and degradation rate was much slower than at 55 degrees C.
在水相条件下,使用新开发的评估系统,在嗜热(55°C)和中温(35°C)下对聚乳酸(PLA)粉末进行了厌氧生物降解测试[使用的污泥总固体浓度分别为 2.07%(在 55°C 下)和 2.24%(在 35°C 下)]。使用该系统,在大气压下将产生的沼气收集在气体采样袋中。与使用压力传感器或浸入水中的倒置刻度量筒相比,该方法更加方便。PLA 在 55°C 下约 30 天降解约 60%,40 天降解约 80%,60 天降解约 90%。另一方面,PLA 在 35°C 下 55 天开始降解,降解速度比 55°C 下慢得多。
