Method of making a microbial fatty acid and fatty acid butyl ester using a hybrid biosolvent washing / extraction process and microbial lipid oil and hydrophobic biohydrocarbon as a liquid fuel intermediary

A self-generated biosolvent from cellulosic biorefining is used to wash / extract and optionally esterify free fatty acids from microbial oil. Free fatty acids or fatty acid esters and a hydrophobic biohydrocarbon are processed to provide a hybrid liquid fuel intermediary whereas the lipid oil is derived from cellulosic sugars and from microbial conversion of cellulose, hemicellulose, and / cellulosic sugar to lipids. In addition, higher utilization of woody biomass for the production of cellulosic sugars can be further converted to lipid oils, and the remaining hemicellulose / lignin fraction is converted to a novel hydrophobic biohydrocarbon and self-generated biosolvent in which both the processed lipid oils and biohydrocarbon can be reacted together to form a new fuel intermediary. The self-generated biosolvent comprising butanol, butanol esters, and additional biochemicals, can penetrate a microbial cell wall structure to provide higher extraction yields. The process integrates supercritical esterification of the free fatty acids using the self-generated biosolvent blend. Esterification of free fatty acids from microbial oil can be blended with a liquid biohydrocarbon to create a fuel intermediary. A phase separation process for separation of aqueous and hydrophilic materials from hydrophobic liquids is provided, wherein hydrophobic materials are the biosolvent and fatty acid esters.
