Mechanistic Assessment of Microalgal Lipid Extraction
Abstract
In this paper, we have attempted to make a comparative assessment of the three techniques for extraction of lipids from microalgal biomass, viz. Soxhlet extraction, the Bligh and Dyer method, and sonication. The approach is mechanistic in the sense that we have tried to determine the physical mechanism of extraction of lipids (cell disruption or diffusion across a cell wall) from microalgae using microscopic analysis of extracted biomass. We have also assessed the relative influence of the solvent (or extractant) selectivity and the intensity of convection in the medium on the overall lipid yield. None of the techniques used produced complete disruption of the cells, not even sonication. Thus, the prominent mechanism of lipid extraction was diffusion across a cell wall. Moreover, the selectivity of the solvent was found to be the most dominating factor in overall lipid extraction by diffusion than the intensity of bulk convection in the medium.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
