Utilization of quaternary solvent mixtures for extraction of lipids from Scenedesmus obliquus microalgae

Solvent toxicity is of major concern in the extraction of lipid from algae biomass via the solvent extraction technique. This study was carried out to determine the optimal solvent mixture (chloroform, methanol, ethanol, and dichloromethane) composition with less toxicity for the extraction of lipid...
