- the repolymerizable oligomer mixture can be easily recovered and does not require a particularly complicated purification step. Furthermore, the hydrolase used to carry out the depolymerization or polymerization can be recovered and used repeatedly, with the advantage that the enzyme activity is not substantially reduced. Further, when the polylactic acid is a copolymer, the same composition as the original polylactic acid copolymer is obtained by repolymerizing the repolymerizable oligomer mixture obtained by depolymerizing the polylactic acid copolymer. Can be played.
- the method for depolymerizing polylactic acid of the present invention is characterized in that polylactic acid is depolymerized in an organic solvent in the presence of a hydrolase.
- polylactic acid or a polylactic acid copolymer used for molded articles such as films and fibers can be used without any particular limitation.
- homopolymers include poly (L-lactic acid), poly (DL-lactic acid), syndiotactic poly (DL-lactic acid), atactic poly (DL-lactic acid), and the like.
- the above-mentioned polylactic acid may be obtained by adding / 3-propiolactone, / 3-butyrolactone (3-BL), ⁇ -force prolactone ( ⁇ -CL), 11-pindecanolide, Medium- to large-membered lactones such as 2-decanolide, cyclic monomers such as trimethylene carbonate (TMC) and methyl-substituted trimethylene carbonate and their oligomers, cyclic ester oligomers, and hydroxys such as ricinoleic acid Production of hydrolytic enzymes that can be copolymerized with lactide, such as acids and their esters, linear carbonate oligomers, linear ester oligomers, ester-carbonate oligomers, and ether-ester oligomers Copolymerization of a comonomer that produces a bond that can be used.

Therefore, by repolymerizing the repolymerizable oligomer mixture obtained by depolymerizing the polylactic acid copolymer, it is possible to regenerate a composition having the same composition as the original polylactic acid copolymer.
- each monomer In the conventional recycling method, in order to obtain the same composition as the original polymer, each monomer must be collected and polymerized by the same method as the original polymer, which is technically difficult. It is not a practical method because it is very expensive.
- the molecular weight (M n) of polylactic acid and polylactic acid copolymer (hereinafter, these may be simply referred to as polylactic acid) is not particularly limited, but is generally about 10,000 to 1,000,000,000. Things are appropriate.

- the enzyme used in the depolymerization of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a hydrolase that acts on an ester bond. Further, the enzyme may be immobilized or not, but is preferably immobilized from the viewpoint of oligomer recovery and enzyme reuse.
- hydrolase lipase is preferred due to the availability and heat stability of the enzyme, and lipase II derived from Candida antarctica and lipase derived from Rhizomucor miehei are particularly preferred.
- the amount of the enzyme (including the immobilized enzyme) to be added in the depolymerization of the present invention is at least 0.05% by mass, preferably 0.1% by mass or more, of the enzyme per polylactic acid. 0 If the amount is less than 0.5% by mass, the reaction rate is remarkably reduced, so that the above-mentioned amount is appropriate. In addition, the reaction becomes faster when the amount of enzyme added is increased, but it is impractical to use too much, so that at most about 50% by mass is appropriate.

- the solvent examples include 0-xylene, toluene, acetonitrile, and 1,4-dioxane. Any solvent that dissolves polylactic acid at least partially and does not deactivate the enzyme, such as sun, tetrahydrofuran, and hexane, can be used without limitation.

Further, by combining various organic solvents at a specific composition ratio, the conversion can be increased as compared with the case where the organic solvent is used alone.

Since polylactic acid has relatively low solubility in organic solvents, use a mixed solvent system or first dissolve polylactic acid using an easily soluble solvent such as chloroform, and add the solvent as described above. In addition, it is desirable to take measures such as distilling off the form at the mouth (to avoid inactivating the enzyme).

If the concentration is lower than 0.1 lg Zl, the yield itself is not particularly low, but the concentration is low, so it is difficult to secure a sufficient amount of the obtained oligomer. The above range is preferable because the conversion rate decreases.

- the concentration of polylactic acid in the supercritical fluid is preferably about 0.5 to 50 g / l.
- the amount of the hydrolase added to polylactic acid is about 0.05 to 50% by mass (approximately 1 to 1000% by mass for immobilized enzyme).

- Linear oligomers one 400mg terminal obtained in Example 5 is Echiruesuteru, 0.4 wt% of SnCl 2 - 2H 2 0 / p -TSA ⁇ ⁇ 2 0 (molar ratio 1/1) was added, decompression lOmmHg Under stirring at 180 ° C., polymerization was carried out. After completion of the reaction, a small amount of chloroform is added and dissolved, and the mixture is added to hexane ether (1/1, v / v) and purified by a reprecipitation method in which the polymer is precipitated, and the molecular weight (M w) is about 20%. , 000 PDLLA were obtained.
- Figure 13 shows changes in GPC before and after repolymerization. The yield (polymer conversion) was 14.3%.
- the molecular weight (Mw) determined by (GPC) was about 20,000.
- Figure 14 shows changes in GPC before and after repolymerization.
- the depolymerization method and the polymerization method of polylactic acid using the hydrolase of the present invention may be a simple operation using one pot, and the reaction conditions are mild and consume low energy.
- both ends of the generated low molecular weight compound are irregular, and it is impossible to repolymerize this to form a high molecular weight compound.
- a repolymerizable oligomer mixture is produced, and the repolymerizable oligomer is easily repolymerized in the presence of a hydrolase or by chemical synthesis to be highly polymerized.
- the hydrolase used to carry out the depolymerization or polymerization can be recovered and used repeatedly, with the advantage that the activity of the enzyme is not substantially reduced. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to construct a completely recycling type polymer material utilization system which is environmentally acceptable and can completely reuse carbon resources. The utility value is extremely large.
