Extraction of common microalgae by liquefied dimethyl ether: influence of species and pretreatment on oil yields and composition

Manuel C. Bauer et al.

Summary: Liquefied dimethyl ether (DME) is a promising, green solvent for biomass lipid extractions. This study examines its use with four microalgae and cyanobacteria species, and finds that cryo-milling increases oil yield and improves fatty acid composition.

Evaluation of a sludge-treatment process comprising lipid extraction and drying using liquefied dimethyl ether

Quan Wang et al.

Summary: Liquefied dimethyl ether (DME) showed better performance in extracting lipids from sludge compared to the Bligh and Dyer (B&D) method, especially in terms of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) extraction. The lower heating value (LHV) of DME product was significantly higher than the B&D method, and DME could be reused multiple times with consistent lipid yield and drying efficiency.

Effective lipid extraction from undewatered microalgae liquid using subcritical dimethyl ether

Quan Wang et al.

Summary: This study explored an energy-saving method for lipid extraction from thickened microalgae using DME as the solvent and an entrainer solution for flocculation. Optimal extraction conditions were determined, and various analytical techniques were used to compare the results with other extraction methods. The DME-based approach showed high efficiency and economic benefits, while highlighting the need for trace metal purification in subsequent refining processes.

Crude Oil Recovery from Oily Sludge Using Liquefied Dimethyl Ether Extraction: A Comparison with Conventional Extraction Methods

Dong Zhang et al.

Summary: The study successfully recovered oil from oily sludge using liquefied dimethyl ether (DME) extraction, with the DME/sludge ratio, extraction time, and stirring speed affecting the oil recovery ratio. Compared to traditional methods, DME extraction yielded a higher recovery rate and the recovered oil contained more beneficial components.

A Study of Salvaged Cyanobacteria Slurry Treatment Using Liquefied Dimethyl Ether: Dehydration and Organic Matter Extraction

Zhuo Li et al.

Summary: The use of Liquefied dimethyl ether (L-DME) to dehydrate salvaged cyanobacteria slurry (SCS) proved to be an effective method for removing water and extracting organic matter from SCS. L-DME was able to extract high amounts of organic matter, including phosphorus and nitrogen, making it a potentially efficient treatment method for SCS.

Carbohydrate Biolubricants from Algae and Cyanobacteria

Dharitri Borah et al.

Summary: Biolubricants are renewable and eco-friendly products derived from biological sources like animals, plants, algae, cyanobacteria, and other microorganisms. While animal and plant-based biolubricants have limitations, microorganisms like bacteria, algae, and cyanobacteria offer advantages in terms of easy cultivation, minimal growth requirements, and remarkable rheological properties. The emerging importance of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) from algae and cyanobacteria as carbohydrate biolubricants with commercial potential is highlighted in this review.

Influence of water content and cell disruption on lipid extraction using subcritical dimethyl ether in wet microalgae

Quan Wang et al.

Summary: The study explored the use of subcritical dimethyl ether as a green solvent to extract lipids from microalgae, finding that heating, microwave, and ultrasonic treatments significantly improved the extraction process by increasing cell wall permeability. The extraction process effectively removed free water from microalgal cells with well-extracted lipids, while leaving bound water intact in the cells.

Microbial production of polyunsaturated fatty acids - high-value ingredients for aquafeed, superfoods, and pharmaceuticals

Sofija Jovanovic et al.

Summary: Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), have garnered global attention for their unique role in improving diet and human health. Microbial cell factories are seen as a major solution to address the inevitable shortage of PUFAs and to provide PUFA-rich aquafeed, superfoods, and medical formulations. This review evaluates PUFA markets and recent advances in enhancing PUFA production using microalgae, yeasts, fungi, and bacteria.
