Alkyl carbamate ionic liquids for permeabilization of microalgae biomass to enhance lipid recovery for biodiesel production
Microalgae are potential biomass source for biodiesel production. However, their strong cell walls make efficient lipid extraction problematic.

| description | Microalgae are potential biomass source for biodiesel production. However, their strong cell walls make efficient lipid extraction problematic. Disrupting the cell wall is a key point in enhancing lipid yield from microalgae biomass. A new type of ionic liquid (IL) has been suggested in this work as a potentially viable solvent to permeabilize the strong microalgae cell structure for the efficient extraction of lipids. Morphological changes in microalgae cells were studied before and after ionic liquid permeabilization to understand the mechanism of ionic liquid treatment. Among the three selected CO2-based alkyl carbamate ionic liquids, DIMCARP performed with the best extraction efficiency. The effects of extraction variables (temperature, time, ratio ionic liquid/Methanol, and solvent to biomass) on lipid extraction were examined via single-factor experiments coupled with response surface methodology (RSM) using a Box-Behnken design (BBD). The highest lipid yield (16.40%) was obtained after 45 min of extraction at 45 °C using a 9:1 ionic liquid to methanol and 7 mL of solvent to biomass ratio. Transesterification of lipids to make fatty acid methyl esters found that the most common fatty acids were C16:0, C18:2, and C18:3 (19.50%). The quality of the biodiesel made meets European and US standards. |
