Abstract
In the relevant technical field, cellulose-based wastes or agricultural wastes are used as raw materials in the production of environmentally friendly bioplastics or plastic admixture materials. The cost spent on a product is high to recycle agricultural wastes into these said final products. In addition, cellulose-based raw materials such as olive seeds are not as suitable for polymerization as starches. In this context, in the invention, starch-based bread waste is used as a raw material for the production of bioplastics and plastic admixture materials. The bread wastes are more suitable for polymerization, and when used as raw material, the product price per unit time is more economical compared to other agricultural or waste foodstuffs.
Claims14
The production method of bioplastics and/or plastic admixture materials, characterized in that it includes the process steps of;
- cutting bread waste by slicing and allowing to dry,
- bringing the bread wastes into powder form by grinding process after the drying process,
- obtaining waste bread powder:water mixture by adding water to bread waste in powder form and dissolving,
- adding HCl with a concentration of at least 30% to the waste bread powder:water mixture,
- by adding HCl, releasing the starches in the powdered bread waste, and then by adding glycerin, achieving the polymerization, and obtaining the mixture containing bio-raw material,
- adding NaOH neutralizing the mixing medium,
- adding sodium metabisulphite-water solution to the mixture and then allowing the mixture to dry,
- reducing the dimension of the dried bio-raw material by grinding,
- mixing the resulting bio-raw materials by subjecting to the twin screw extruder process and adding maleic anhydride and an antioxidant as an additional component and obtaining bioplastic as a result of the processes.
