Embodiment I
[0062] Biomass was dried using a low microwave power level (10%)
[0063] According to our protocol, biomass containing PHBV (93% hydroxybutyrate-7% hydroxyvalerate) was prepared in the laboratory. During drying, a Sylvania microwave oven (SM81004, 1 cubic foot volume, 1600W power consumption and 1100W maximum microwave power) was used. 82.2 g of biomass were placed in a microwave oven, dried at 10% power level for a short time (2 minutes), then removed from the microwave, mixed and weighed. Repeat these steps until a constant sample weight is obtained. Short-term microwave exposure is required to avoid spillage of the solution. The biomass was mixed after each short-term microwave irradiation, thereby obtaining a uniform drying of the samples. Under these microwave conditions, 52 minutes were required to dry 82.2 g of biomass containing 46.5% w / w water (Figure 1).
Embodiment II
[0065] Dry PHBV emulsions with a low microwave power level (10%)
[0066] During drying, an emulsion containing PHBV (93% hydroxybutyrate-7% hydroxyvalerate) was used. The emulsion contained 15% w / w PHBV in water.
[0067] During drying, a Sylvania microwave oven (SM81004, 1 cubic foot volume, 1600W power consumption and 1100W maximum microwave power) was used. 18.49 g of the PHBV emulsion were placed in a microwave oven, dried at 10% power level for a short time (2 minutes), then removed from the microwave, mixed and weighed. Repeat these steps until a constant sample weight is obtained.
[0068] Short-term microwave exposure is required to avoid spillage of the solution. The biomass was mixed after each short-term microwave irradiation, thereby obtaining a uniform drying of the samples. To confirm the effect of microwave power level on the efficiency of the drying process, samples were subjected to microwave irradiation for 2 minutes at the maximum microwave power level....
Embodiment III
[0071] Dry PHBV emulsion with high microwave power level (50%)
[0072]In the drying process, an emulsion containing PHBV (93% hydroxybutyrate-7% hydroxyvalerate) was used. The emulsion contained 15% w / w PHBV in water.
[0073] During drying, a Sylvania microwave oven (SM81004, 1 cubic foot volume, 1600W power consumption and 1100W maximum microwave power) was used. 23.09 g of the PHBV emulsion were placed in a microwave oven, dried at 50% power level for a short time (30 seconds to 2 minutes), then removed from the microwave, mixed and weighed. If the microwave drying process is performed at a power level higher than 10%, it is necessary to reduce the microwave irradiation time (minutes to seconds) to avoid overflow of the solution. Repeat these steps until a constant sample weight is obtained. The biomass was mixed after each short-term microwave irradiation, thereby obtaining a uniform drying of the samples. Under these microwave conditions, it took 40 minutes to dry th...
