Lipids extraction of Nannochloropsis and hydrothermal liquefaction of defatted Nannochloropsis
To improve the comprehensive utilization efficiency of microalgae
dry or wet
Nannochloropsis
were extracted with different solvent and hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) experiments of defatted
Nannochloropsis
were carried out to explore the effects of defatted methods on HTL products. The solvent extraction results showed that polar solvent can extract 25.0% of lipids from microalgae without selectivity
which resulted in only 29.68% for the fatty acid methyl ester yield of the extracts; the fatty acid methyl ester recovery of mix solvent was 57.70%. For the HTL bio-crude of defatted
Nannochloropsis
the yield was 27.7%—34.6%
nitrogen content was 5.29%—6.68%
mainly consisted of fatty acid
fatty acid esters
fatty acid amides
long-chain hydrocarbon
amines
oxygen-containing compounds and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. The yield of wet algae hydrothermal crude oil after methanol extraction was 34.6%
the nitrogen content was 5.44%
and the process energy consumption was low
indicating that methanol extraction wet algae combined with hydrothermal liquefaction has certain application prospects.
