Microporous membranes of poly(1,4-butylene succinate) (PBS), which is a biodegradable biomass plastic, were prepared from PBS-chloroform solutions via nonsolvent and thermally induced phase separation with a coagulation bath of methanol. The permeation resistance of a membrane prepared from a 10% polymer solution at 25°C was more than 1014 m−1. The membrane resistance decreased with increasing pre-incubation temperature. Retention of bacterial cells (0.7φ x 2.5 μm) decreased with increasing pre-incubation temperature. Increasing polymer concentration increased the permeation resistance and the retention of the cells. Membranes prepared from the 10% PBS solution pre-incubated at 47.5°C show a permeation resistance of 1011 m−1 and retention of the bacterial cells of 99%. The PBS membranes will be useful in biosepartion processes as a prefilter that can be disposed by composting after use.
