Problems solved by technology

The whole extraction process is simple and does not need to add any chemical reagents, it is environmentally friendly, and the recovery rate of carotenoids and edible glycerin is high, but this patent has two shortcomings: 1. Carotenoids and other extraction products account for a small proportion of the total mass of Salina salina , a large amount of algae residue left after extraction has not been fully utilized
However, it still contains a large amount of esters, proteins, polysaccharides and other components, resulting in a waste of resources
2. The concentrated algae paste is first dehydrated and dried, and the dried algae paste is used as the raw material for extraction. Dehydration and drying greatly increase the energy consumption of the process

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for extracting carotenoid and liquid biological fuel from Dunaliella sallina, which belongs to the technical fields of bioactive substance extraction and biological energy. The method comprises the following steps of: concentrating a Dunalielle sallina liquid by using a hollow fiber membrane and a centrifugal separation method to obtain an aqueous sallina paste, extracting the aqueous sallina paste by using supercritical carbon dioxide to obtain a carotenoid product and a sallina residue liquid, and liquefying the sallina residue liquid by using supercritical / near-critical water to obtain the biological fuel. The invention has the advantages of no need of drying raw materials, low energy consumption, environment protection for entire process, simple technology, high utilization ratio of equipment, conduction of extraction using supercritical carbon dioxide and liquefaction using supercritical / near-critical water in the same reaction kettle, high yield of carotenoid and the biological fuel, low production cost and suitability for large-scale production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bioactive substance extraction and biomass energy, and particularly relates to a method for extracting carotenoids from Dunaliella salina and liquefying them to prepare biofuel. Background technique [0002] With the decreasing amount of exploitable fossil fuels and the aggravation of environmental pollution caused by the use of fossil energy, the development of biomass resources based on energy utilization has attracted widespread attention. The use of biofuels can reduce dependence on fossil fuels, while the use process is very clean, does not produce net carbon dioxide emissions, does not produce sulfur, NO x Wait. [0003] Microalgae is a very important biomass resource, among which Dunaliella salina is a halophilic planktonic unicellular eukaryotic algae with bare protoplasm, which has good salt tolerance, alkali resistance and strong light resistance. Sex, high photosynthetic efficiency, strong en...
