Raw Material for Polyhydroxyalkanoate Production

According to the Polyhydroxyalkanoate manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Polyhydroxyalkanoate include Dairy Waste-Halomonas Alkaliantarctica.

Manufacturing Process of Polyhydroxyalkanoate

The extensive Polyhydroxyalkanoate production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

• From Dairy Waste and Halomonas Alkaliantarctica: The manufacturing process of polyhydroxyalkanoate involves several steps. First, dairy waste is pre-treated through enzymatic hydrolysis that breaks down complex carbohydrates into simpler sugars. This hydrolyzed waste is then used as a carbon source for microbial fermentation. H. alkaliantarctica is cultured under optimized conditions, converting the sugars into polyhydroxyalkanoate. After fermentation, the product is extracted from the biomass using centrifugation and solvent extraction methods to get pure polyhydroxyalkanoate.

Polyhydroxyalkanoate has a melting point ranging from 40 to 180 degrees Celsius. It has tensile strength between 15 to 40 MPa and elongation at break from 1% to 15%. Its crystallinity is between 40% to 70%, which affects its flexibility and brittleness. It is insoluble in water and most organic solvents but shows barrier properties against gases and moisture. It is biodegradable, making it decompose naturally in various environments. It is hydrophobic in nature, which limits water interaction, and its thermal stability varies. It is modified through blending or chemical functionalization to add properties for specific applications.
