Problems solved by technology

However, this solution requires the use of alcohol solvents to dehydrate the wet algae mud. The amount of alcohol used is large, the energy consumption of alcohol recovery is high, and the extracted oil components are complex and difficult to separate and refine.
[0004] Lower alcohols are hydrophilic solvents, which can

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for extracting grease from wet alga mud by using a mixed organic solvent. The method mainly comprises the following steps of: adding wet alga mud of microalgae which produce oil into a mixed solvent of a lower alcohol solvent and a lower paraffin hydrocarbon, heating in a reactor and introducing nitrogen, keeping the pressure and temperature of the reactor at a subcritical state and reacting; and performing liquid-solid separation and then cooling the obtained mixed liquid, collecting an upper-layer paraffin hydrocarbon phase, performing washing, extracting and phase splitting on a lower-layer alcohol-water phase by using lower paraffin hydrocarbon to obtain a paraffin hydrocarbon extraction phase, mixing the paraffin hydrocarbon extraction phase and the upper-layer paraffin hydrocarbon phase, performing evaporation concentration to obtain microalgae grease, and recovering paraffin hydrocarbon. Microalgae cells with high water content can be directly used, alga cells are not required to be dried and dehydrated, drying energy consumption is saved, the using amount of the extraction solvent is small, the extraction efficiency of the grease is high, the separation can be performed easily and the process is easy to amplify. The method has significance to the high-efficiency microalgae grease extraction with low energy consumption and the industrialization of microalgae bioenergy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microalgae biochemical engineering, and in particular relates to a method for extracting oil from microalgae wet algae mud by using a mixed organic solvent. Background technique [0002] As the shortage of global fossil energy and the deteriorating environment become increasingly prominent, biodiesel, as a form of sustainable green energy, has attracted worldwide attention. At present, the raw materials used in the production of biodiesel are all from oil crops. Since the area yield of oil crops is not high, vigorous development of biodiesel will inevitably occupy a large amount of arable land and affect food production. Microalgae are the simplest and oldest lower plants, which can grow rapidly and synthesize a large amount of oil (mainly triglyceride) in the cells by directly using sunlight, CO2, N, P and other simple nutrients. , to provide new oil resources for biodiesel production. At present, it i...
