چکیده

this article reports a study of the thermo-oxidation and biodegradation in the soil of low-density polyethylene/starch films (ldpe/starch) by infrared spectroscopy: films of ldpe/starch blends of different composition (starch content range from 0 to 15% w/w),were prepared and exposed to thermo-oxidation at different temperatures at 80, 90 and 100°c,and buried in the soil of public dump during 300 days. the oxidation, for films subjected to thermal oxidation, was revealed by the appearance of absorption bands of carbonyl groups centered at 1715 cm-1. after the induction period, which varies from 12 to 14 days according to the concentration of starch incorporated in the films, the indication of carbonyl croup increases with time and temperature of exposition. during the first 30 days, the rate of oxidization is the weaker, the larger percentage of starch in the film of ldpe. the biodegradation of films buried in the soil for 300 days, was followed by infrared spectroscopy. the carbonyl index calculated at 1715 cm-1 and at 1744 cm-1 showed the oxidation of films ldpe/starch. this index increases with time of burial and starch percentage incorporated into ldpe films during the first 180 days in soil burial, then decreases.

Preparation of Biodegradable Low Density Polyethylene by Starch – Urea Composition for Agricultural Applications

It has been proven that polyolefins specially low density polyethylene (LDPE), are resistant against degradation and microorganism attacks; Thus, one of the most important properties of industrial plastics, is their environmental biodegradability. Since plastics are being widely used in agriculture, horticulture and packaging, meeting this requirement becomes increasingly dificult (speciall...

An approach to low-density polyethylene biodegradation by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a major cause of persistent and long-term environmental pollution. In this paper, two bacterial isolates Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BSM-1) and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (BSM-2) were isolated from municipal solid soil and used for polymer degradation studies. The microbial degradation LDPE was analyzed by dry weight reduction of LDPE film, change in pH of cul...

Oxygen-barrier films based on low-density polyethylene/ ethylene vinyl alcohol/ polyethylene-grafted maleic anhydride compatibilizer

In this research, high oxygen-barrier films were organized based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/ ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH)/ polyethylene-grafted maleic anhydride (LDPE-g-MA) compatibilizer. The effects of 10–30 wt. % EVOH and 0–10 wt. % LDPE-g-MA loadings on the properties of final films were evaluated. The morphology of specimens was observed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM)...

Rapid characterization of microbial biodegradation pathways by FT-IR spectroscopy.

Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy has become an important tool for rapid analysis of complex biological samples. The infrared absorbance spectrum could be regarded as a "fingerprint" which is characteristic of biochemical substances. In this study, Pseudomonas putida NCIMB 9869 was grown with either 3,5-xylenol or m-cresol as the sole carbon source, each inducing different metabol...
