Abstract: Abstract A thermo-responsive switchable solvent (TSS), which switched hydrophobicity by the change in temperature, was successfully used for simultaneous cell disruption, oil extraction-reaction, and biodiesel separation from wet microalgae. Catalyzed by immobilized lipase, the entire… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Switchable solvents with hydrophobicities that can be reversibly changed were evaluated as single solvents for oil extraction from wet biomass. Three switchable solvents, N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine (DMCHA), N-ethylbutylamine (EBA), and dipropylamine, were used to extract oil… read more here.
