Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of plastic-degrading enzyme preparations, and in particular relates to an enzyme preparation for alkali-resistant degradable plastics and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Polylactic acid (PLA), a typical biodegradable polyester material, is typically made from starch from crops such as corn, wheat, and sugarcane. It is produced through microbial fermentation to produce lactic acid, which is then chemically polycondensed or through ring-opening polymerization of lactide. PLA completely decomposes into carbon dioxide and water within 3-6 months under composting conditions, leaving no microplastic residue. The degradation products are harmless to the environment and humans, and the calorific value released upon combustion is only half that of traditional plastics, without producing toxic gases such as nitrogen and sulfides. Due to its excellent biocompatibility, degradability, and renewable raw material availability, PLA holds great promise for applications in packaging, healthcare, agriculture, and other fields. PLA degrades primarily through ester bond hydrolysis. Studies have shown that its degradation rate in alkaline conditions is significantly higher than in acidic or neutral environments. Alkaline environments (such as industrial wastewater treatment systems and alkaline composting) can accelerate the degradation of PLA by promoting ester bond hydrolysis.

[0003] Traditional enzyme preparation carrier materials are prone to structural destruction or changes in surface charge properties in alkaline environments, resulting in a decrease in the binding force between the enzyme molecules and the carrier, and the occurrence of enzyme molecule shedding or denaturation and inactivation. At the same time, the direct attack of hydroxide ions on the active center of the enzyme under alkaline conditions will destroy the spatial conformation of the enzyme protein and significantly reduce the catalytic efficiency of the enzyme. In addition, for degradable plastic mixtures containing composite fillers such as starch and cellulose, a single enzyme preparation is difficult to achieve synergistic degradation of multiple components, resulting in low overall degradation efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an enzyme preparation that can maintain high activity and stability in an alkaline environment and has multi-enzyme synergistic degradation function. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In response to the above situation, and to overcome the shortcomings of conventional enzyme preparations in the prior art, such as their easy inactivation in alkaline environments, poor carrier stability, and low degradation efficiency for degradable plastics containing composite fillers, the present invention provides an alkali-resistant enzyme preparation for degradable plastics and a method for preparing the same. The enzyme preparation achieves efficient degradation of degradable plastics in an alkaline environment by constructing an alkali-resistant functionalized carrier containing a calix[6]arene structure and loading it with a mixed enzyme composed of multiple functional enzymes.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the following technical solution is adopted: The present invention provides a method for preparing an enzyme preparation for alkali-resistant degradable plastics, comprising the following steps: S1. Sodium hydride is added to tetrahydrofuran, and nitrogen is introduced for protection. 5-bromomethyl-2-norbornene is slowly added to the tetrahydrofuran under continuous stirring. Hexylene glycol is then slowly added dropwise to the reaction system over 30-40 minutes using a constant pressure dropping funnel. After the addition is complete, the reaction temperature is raised to 60-70°C, and the reaction is continued with stirring for 6-8 hours. After the reaction is complete, the system is cooled to room temperature, and the tetrahydrofuran is removed by vacuum distillation to obtain a norbornene intermediate. S2. Add perbromocalix[6]arene to toluene, then add triethylamine and triethyl phosphite. Under nitrogen protection, raise the reaction temperature to 110-120°C, stir and react for 24-36 hours. After the reaction is completed, cool the system to room temperature, and remove toluene and excess triethyl phosphite by distillation under reduced pressure to obtain perphosphate calix[6]arene. S3. Add the norbornene intermediate prepared in step S1 and the perphosphate ester calix[6]arene prepared in step S2 to N,N-dimethylformamide, add alkali metal carbonate, and heat to 80-90° C. under nitrogen protection. Stir and react for 18-24 hours. After the reaction is completed, cool the system to room temperature, filter, and distill the filtrate under reduced pressure to remove DMF to obtain a norbornene-calix[6]arene intermediate; S4, adding four-arm polyethylene glycol succinimidyl glutarate to dimethyl sulfoxide, stirring thoroughly to dissolve, then adding tetrazine-amino hydrochloride and triethylamine, stirring at room temperature for 12-16 hours. After the reaction is completed, pouring the reaction solution into ice water, filtering and collecting the precipitated solid, and vacuum drying to obtain tetrazine-functionalized four-arm polyethylene glycol; S5. Add the norbornene-calix[6]arene intermediate obtained in step S3 and the tetrazine-functionalized four-arm polyethylene glycol obtained in step S2 to dichloromethane, stir and react at room temperature for 24-36 hours, extract with deionized water, and distill the organic phase under reduced pressure to remove dichloromethane to obtain an alkali-resistant functionalized carrier; S6. Add the alkali-resistant functionalized carrier prepared in step S5 to a phosphate buffer solution with a pH of 7.0, stir to fully disperse it, add the mixed enzyme to the system, and slowly stir at 4°C for 12-16 hours to allow the mixed enzyme to be fully loaded on the carrier. After the loading is completed, collect the solid by centrifugation at 8000 rpm for 10-30 minutes, wash it three times with a phosphate buffer solution with a pH of 7.0, and finally vacuum dry it to obtain the enzyme preparation for alkali-resistant degradable plastics.

[0006] Furthermore, the perbrominated calix[6]arene in step S2 is prepared by the following steps: adding calix[6]arene to dichloromethane, stirring thoroughly to dissolve it, adding liquid bromine dropwise in an ice bath, controlling the temperature not to exceed 5° C. during the addition, heating the reaction system to room temperature after the addition is completed, and continuing to stir and react for 12-16 hours. After the reaction is completed, adding a saturated sodium sulfite solution to the system, and then washing the organic phase with deionized water and a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution in sequence, and removing the dichloromethane solvent by distillation under reduced pressure to obtain perbrominated calix[6]arene.

[0007] Furthermore, the feeding ratio of the calix[6]arene, liquid bromine and dichloromethane is 20-30 g: 60-80 mL: 200-400 mL.

[0008] Furthermore, in step S1, the feeding ratio of sodium hydride, 5-bromomethyl-2-norbornene, hexylene glycol and tetrahydrofuran is 10-20 g: 15-40 g: 15-30 mL: 150-200 mL.

[0009] Furthermore, in step S2, the feeding ratio of perbromocalix[6]arene, triethylamine, triethyl phosphite and toluene is 5-15 g: 18-30 g: 8-12 g: 150-200 mL.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S3, the feeding ratio of norbornene intermediate, perphosphate calix[6]arene, alkali metal carbonate and N,N-dimethylformamide is 8-15 g: 10-25 g: 12-25 g: 120-150 mL; the alkali metal carbonate is one of sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate or cesium carbonate.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S4, the feeding ratio of four-arm polyethylene glycol succinimidyl glutarate, tetrazine-amino hydrochloride, triethylamine and dimethyl sulfoxide is 8-20 g: 3-5 g: 10-20 g: 100-150 mL.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S5, the feeding ratio of norbornene-calix[6]arene intermediate, tetrazine functionalized four-arm polyethylene glycol and dichloromethane is 5-12 g: 8-20 g: 120-150 mL.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S6, the feeding ratio of the alkali-resistant functionalized carrier, the mixed enzyme, and the phosphate buffer solution is 10-20 g: 5-12 g: 100-200 mL; the mixed enzyme contains the following components in parts by weight: 6-15 parts of sucrose fatty acid ester, 4-8 parts of alkaline protease, 4-8 parts of α-amylase, 2-5 parts of cutinase, and 2-5 parts of cellulase.

[0014] Among them, alkaline protease can specifically hydrolyze protein additives or pollutants on the surface of degradable plastics, destroying the dense surface structure of the material; α-amylase and cellulase can degrade starch-based or cellulose-based fillers that may remain in the plastic, forming a porous structure; cutinase, as a specific esterase, can recognize and cut the ester bonds of polyester materials such as polylactic acid; sucrose fatty acid esters, as surfactants, can reduce the surface tension of plastics and promote the adsorption and diffusion of enzyme molecules. This multi-enzyme synergistic system can not only efficiently degrade pure polylactic acid materials, but also has a good degradation effect on degradable plastic mixtures containing starch and cellulose composite fillers.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) The enzyme preparation prepared by the present invention has excellent alkali resistance and high-efficiency plastic degradation performance. By introducing the cup[6]arene structure in the carrier construction process, its rigid electron-rich cavity can form a specific inclusion complex on the enzyme molecule, effectively protecting the enzyme active center from direct attack by hydroxide ions in an alkaline environment, maintaining the stability of the enzyme protein spatial conformation, and at the same time, the phosphate groups on the cup[6]arene skeleton can form a hydrogen bond network and electrostatic interaction with polar groups such as amino groups and hydroxyl groups on the surface of the enzyme molecule, thereby enhancing the binding force between the enzyme and the carrier and avoiding the shedding or denaturation of the enzyme molecule under alkaline conditions. This special molecular recognition structure enables the enzyme preparation to maintain more than 85% of the enzyme activity in an alkaline environment of pH 8.0-10.0, and can efficiently degrade various degradable plastics such as polylactic acid, polyadipate, and polybutylene terephthalate; (2) The present invention introduces norbornene groups into calix[6]arene molecules to form norbornene-calix[6]arene intermediates with double bond active sites. Subsequently, the anti-electron demand Diels-Alder reaction of the tetrazine functional group and the norbornene group is used to achieve efficient grafting of calixarene and four-arm polyethylene glycol under mild conditions to form a pyrazine-norbornene bicyclic system and a three-dimensional cross-linked network structure. This cross-linked structure not only gives the carrier excellent mechanical strength and chemical stability, but also provides more loading sites for enzyme molecules by increasing the specific surface area. At the same time, the steric hindrance effect of the cross-linked network can effectively inhibit the aggregation and inactivation of enzyme molecules, thereby extending the storage half-life of the enzyme preparation.

[0025] Comparative Example 1: In this comparative example, conventional diatomaceous earth is used instead of the alkali-resistant functionalized carrier to carry out the loading in step S6, and the rest is the same as in Example 3.

[0026] Comparative Example 2: In this comparative example, a norbornene intermediate is used instead of a norbornene-calix[6]arene intermediate to carry out the reaction of step S5 with tetrazine-functionalized four-arm polyethylene glycol, and the rest is the same as in Example 3.

[0027] Comparative Example 3: In this comparative example, four-arm polyethylene glycol is used instead of the alkali-resistant functionalized carrier to carry out the loading in step S6, and the rest is the same as in Example 3.

[0028] The enzyme preparations prepared in each group of Examples and Comparative Examples of the present invention were tested and analyzed. The results are shown in Table 1: The enzyme preparations prepared in each group of Examples and Comparative Examples were dissolved in a sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate buffer solution at pH 10.0 and incubated at 45°C with constant shaking for 72 hours. The residual enzyme activity was measured and the activity retention rate was calculated. Alkaline protease activity (unit: U / mL) was determined using the Folin-phenol method with casein as the substrate. Other enzyme activities were determined spectrophotometrically using the corresponding substrates. Total enzyme activity was the sum of the activities of each enzyme.

[0029] The enzyme preparations prepared in each group of Examples and Comparative Examples were placed in a 50°C water bath, and samples were taken at regular intervals to measure the enzyme activity. The time required for the activity to drop to 50% of the initial value was calculated, which was the 50°C half-life of each group of enzyme preparations.

[0030] The degradation efficiency of the enzyme preparations prepared in each of the examples and comparative examples was tested on PLA films (50 μm thick, molecular weight 100,000) and PLA composites containing 30% starch filler in an alkaline composting environment. The conditions were: pH 9.0, temperature 55°C, humidity 80%, enzyme concentration 2 g / L, oscillation rate 150 rpm, and reaction time 14 days. After 14 days, the samples were removed, dried, and weighed. The weight loss was calculated, and the number-average molecular weight (Mn) of the PLA films was determined by GPC.

[0031] Table 1: Comparison of enzyme preparation test results

[0032] As can be seen from the results in the table above, the enzyme activity retention rate of each example in an alkaline environment of pH=10 exceeds 91%. This is because the rigid electron-rich cavity of calix[6]arene encapsulates the active center of the enzyme through molecular recognition and resists the attack of hydroxide ions; the phosphate group forms hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions with the enzyme molecules, enhancing the binding force and preventing the enzyme from falling off or denaturing. The half-life at 50°C of each example exceeds 110h, while that of comparative example 1 is only 45h, and that of comparative examples 2 and 3 is 68h and 75h respectively. The reason is that norbornene-calix[6]arene and four-arm polyethylene glycol form a three-dimensional cross-linked network through the Diels-Alder reaction, which increases the specific surface area and inhibits the aggregation of enzyme molecules, thereby improving mechanical strength and chemical stability. The cross-linked structure reduces the inactivation caused by the interaction between enzyme molecules and prolongs the storage period in practical applications. The weight loss rate of the PLA film of each example exceeds 93%, and the weight loss rate of the composite material exceeds 92%. In addition, the number average molecular weight of the PLA film is reduced from 100,000 to about 20,000, indicating that the ester bond is efficiently cut and the degradation efficiency of the enzyme preparation prepared by the present invention is relatively high.
