Title Enzyme-catalyzed simultaneous hydrolysis-glycolysis reactions reveals tunability on PET depolymerization products
Year 2018
Published
Abstract PET depolymerization via enzymatic catalysis is one of the most promising technologies in the context of plastics circular economy. So far, hydrolysis reactions accounted for almost the totality of studies, since the glycolysis route was only recently reported. In the present work, a comparative analysis of hydrolysis and glycolysis of PET oligomers catalyzed by Humicola insolens cutinase (HiC) and Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) showed completely distinct profiles of the reaction products and rates. Then, simultaneous hydrolysis-glycolysis reactions with varied water and ethylene glycol concentrations revealed a gradual increase of the esterified products mono(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (MHET) and bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) as the reaction medium became more organic. Erosion patterns on the PET surface during hydrolysis and glycolysis reactions were also shown to be different. The results here reported open new opportunities for the use of task-specific solvents for biotechnological PET recycling, providing versatility for the depolymerization products in different reuse technologies.
