摘要

The specific ion effects on the enzymatic degradation of the polyester films are closely related to the ion-specific enzymatic hydrolysis of the ester bonds.

Abstract

Soil environment on earth contains a variety of ions

which are expected to play a vital role in the biodegradation of plastics discarded in the environment. In this work

poly(butyleneadipate-

-terephthalate) (PBAT) is employed as a model biodegradable plastic to study the specific ion effects on the enzymatic degradation of polyester plastics. The results show that the specific ion effects on the enzymatic degradation rate of the PBAT films and on the catalytic rate constant for the enzymatic hydrolysis of the ester bonds are strongly dependent on temperature and ionic strength. Both the enzymatic degradation rate and catalytic rate constant decrease following the trends Na

and Cl

for cations and anions

respectively

indicating that the ion-specific enzymatic degradation of the PBAT films is closely correlated with the specific ion effects on enzymatic hydrolysis of the ester bonds. Our study shows that the specific ion effects on the enzyme activity can be understood by taking into account the ion-specific cation-anion interaction

ionic dispersion force

salting-out effect and salting-in effect. This study of specific ion effects on the enzymatic hydrolysis of the ester bonds and the resultant enzymatic degradation of the PBAT films would offer us a new clue to develop new biodegradable

environmentally friendly synthetic plastics.
