Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, since the aliphatic compound produced by algae is a linear molecule, it lacks fluidity. In addition, when the aliphatic compound is fat, the content of oxygen component is high, which may cause damage to the material of the engine. Disadvantages such as adverse effects, low quality as fuel if used directly

Embodiment

[0100] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically based on examples, but the present invention is not limited at all by the following examples.

[0101] (to cultivate)

[0102] The culture of euglena was carried out according to the method recorded in the published book "Physiology and Biochemistry of Euglena" (ユグレナ Physiology and Biochemistry), the appendix of the Society Publishing Center (1989) (Society Publishing Center 1 (1989) appendix). Using E.Gracilis Z strain, the utilization area is 1.2m 2 The pool of the Cramer-Myers medium was cultivated outdoors using sunlight for 7 days. Then, anaerobic treatment was performed for a whole day according to the description on page 114 of the same book, and dried at 150° C. to obtain a dry powder of euglena. By repeating the same operation, 1700 g of dried euglena powder that had been anaerobically treated was recovered.

[0103] (solvent extraction)

[0104] Extraction was performed using hexane, wh...

Embodiment 1

[0127] Instead of the hexane-extracted oil of Comparative Example 1, the conditions in which the solubility of the hexane-extracted oil in propane at a pressure of 6 MPa as shown in the aforementioned Table 1 reaches 13.7 g per 100 g of propane (temperature 111° C.) Hydrodeoxygenation treatment was carried out by the same operation as in Comparative Example 1 except that the propane-soluble fraction obtained by repeatedly performing propane extraction until the recovery rate became 90% or more. Compared with Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, catalyst degradation was alleviated, and the catalyst degradation rate index was 0.7° C. / day.

Embodiment 2

[0129] Instead of the hexane-extracted oil of Comparative Example 1, the conditions in which the solubility of the hexane-extracted oil in propane at a pressure of 6 MPa reached 8.0 g per 100 g of propane (temperature 112° C.) shown in the aforementioned Table 1 were used The same operation as in Comparative Example 1 was performed except that the propane extraction was repeated until the recovery rate became 90% or more of the propane-soluble component obtained. Catalyst degradation was further alleviated, and the catalyst degradation rate index was 0.5°C / day.

Abstract

The invention provides a hydrocarbon fuel production method comprising: a first process wherein after the temperature and pressure of a mixture, which contains an aliphatic compound produced by algae and a hydrocarbon solvent in a supercritical state with a critical temperature of 90 DEG C or above, are adjusted and maintained so that the solubility of the aliphatic compound in the hydrocarbon solvent is 15 g or less per 100 g of hydrocarbon solvent, the soluble portion of the aliphatic compound in the hydrocarbon solvent is collected; and a second process wherein the soluble portion collected in the first process is hydrogenated using a catalyst.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing hydrocarbon fuel. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the gradual improvement of environmental awareness, in order to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide, attempts are being made actively to use biomass (biomass), which is a zero-carbon emission (carbon neutral) resource, as an alternative to fossil fuels. Energy is actively used. Among them, the method of cultivating algae such as Chlorella that produce aliphatic compounds such as fats and aliphatic hydrocarbons, and recovering aliphatic compounds from the algae as hydrocarbon fuels (see Non-Patent Document 1, 2). [0003] As the above-mentioned method for recovering aliphatic compounds from algae, a solvent extraction method is widely used, that is, using a solvent with high solubility of aliphatic compounds such as hexane or ethyl acetate, and extracting them under normal pressure at a temperature below the boiling point of ...
