Abstract

In this paper, microalgae lipid extractions were performed using conventional organic solvent and supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-$CO_2$) for biodiesel-convertible lipid fractions. The highest levels (58.31%) of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content in the lipid extracted by SC-$CO_2$ was obtained, and 18.0 wt.% crude lipid yield was achieved for Bligh-Dyer method. In the SC-$CO_2$ extraction, methanol as a co-solvent was applied to increase the polarity of extract. The experimental results indicated that crude lipid yield, FAME content and yield extracted by combination of SC-$CO_2$ with methanol were 12.5 wt.%, 56.32% and 7.04 wt.%, respectively, and this method could reduce the extraction time from 2 hour to 30 min when compared to SC-$CO_2$ extraction. Therefore, SC-$CO_2$ extraction is proven to be an environmentally-friendly and an effective method for lipid extraction from microalgae.

본 연구에서는 미세조류인 Nannochloropsis sp.로부터 바이오디젤 생산용 지질을 얻기 위하여 유기용매 및 초임계 이산화탄소(SC-$CO_2$)를 이용하여 추출을 수행하였다. SC-$CO_2$ 추출법으로 얻은 지질의 지방산메틸에스테르 함량은 58.31%로 높았으며, Bligh-Dyer 추출법은 18.0 wt.%의 가장 높은 조지방 수율을 나타내었다. SC-$CO_2$ 추출법에 극성을 높이기 위해 공용매로서 methanol을 사용한 결과, 조지방 수율 12.5 wt.%, 지방산메틸에스테르 함량 56.32%, 지방산메틸에스테르 수율 7.04 wt.%였으며, SC-$CO_2$ 만을 이용하는 추출 방법에 비하여 추출 시간을 2시간에서 30분으로 단축시킬 수 있었다. 따라서 미세조류에서 지질을 추출하는데 기존의 유기용매 추출법과 비교하여 SC-$CO_2$ 추출법이 친환경적이며, 효율적인 방법임을 확인하였다.
