Abstract

The invention relates to a method for extracting oil from microalgae by utilizing ionic liquid, which comprises the following steps of: 1) preparing functionalized ionic liquid; 2) adding a certain quantity of microalgae into the ionic liquid and magnetically agitating through heating to dissolve the microalgae; 3) extracting oil in an ionic liquid mixture by using an organic solvent; and 4) adding a certain quantity of water into an ionic liquid phase after the oil is extracted, removing a water phase through evaporation, realizing the regeneration of the ionic liquid and reusing the ionic liquid. According to the method, the ionic liquid is utilized to dissolve the microalgae so as to extract the oil, almost has no vapor pressure and has the characteristics of greenness, environment friendliness and the designability; the cell wall of a microalgae can be remarkably damaged to release oil in a microalgae cell or on the cell wall; the oil is easily separated from the ionic liquid, so that the extraction rate of the oil can be remarkably improved; and the ionic liquid can be recycled through a water dilution method. The method can become a new process for microalgae oil extraction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for extracting oil from microalgae, in particular to a method for using ionic liquid to extract oil from microalgae. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of global economic integration, energy shortages and the greenhouse effect caused by carbon dioxide emissions have become a major threat to the sustainable development of mankind. If there is a technology that can reduce carbon dioxide and increase the supply of renewable energy, it must be welcomed. Algae produce biodiesel and biogas by "eating" carbon dioxide. In recent years, biodiesel, as an alternative fuel to fossil energy, has become the fastest growing and most widely used environmentally friendly renewable energy in the world. [0003] Biodiesel is a long-chain fatty acid methyl ester obtained by decomposing and esterifying biological oils as raw materials. It is an environmentally friendly and renewable energy that can replace ordinary ...
