Experimental and Theoretical Study of the Lipid Extraction from Wet Microalgae for Biodiesel Production, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rashtchian, Davood (Supervisor) ; Vossoughi, Manoochehr (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this study, different stages of biodiesel production from microalgae were investigated, specifically the extraction step.Various cultivation methods were also studied among which cultivation under stress was the best. Different carbon sources were also investigated to achieve highest growth. Sodium acetate with complete growth was achieved after 8 days with 6.22% fatty acid recovery. Different mixtures of solvents were compared with Blye and Dier method. Results showed that the mixture of hexane and methanol with crude lipid extraction of 15% and fatty acid recovery of 3.97% were chosen as the solvent mixture of equilibria experiments.Organic solvent composed of hexane (non-polar...
