At 2.5 of OmimOAc in the medium, 19.2% of lipid were obtained, while the conventional IL-less system only yielded 10.9%. More interestingly, the extraction efficiency increases with increasing amount of IL. A broader range of fatty acid profiles was also found to be extracted in the presence of ILs. The lipid extraction ability of the ILs was further confirmed and even dramatically enhanced under high pressure microwave irradiation. At 1.5% IL, the lipid yield reached 37% with FAME profile mirroring the results obtained by hydrophobic IL based extraction. The energy balance calculation have shown a reduction in the energy loss with the different type of IL used resulting in a 12% net energy gain with the OmimNTf2 IL based extraction. A key finding in this study suggests that both the polarity of the ILs and the electronegativity of the anions play an important role in the type of lipids extracted. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd date: 2020 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85076695212&doi=10.1016%2fj.renene.2019.12.063&partnerID=40&md5=761a907fdcbe12860cdace24d69431e2 id_number: 10.1016/j.renene.2019.12.063 full_text_status: none publication: Renewable Energy volume: 149 pagerange: 244-252 refereed: TRUE issn: 09601481 citation: Krishnan, S. and Ghani, N.A. and Aminuddin, N.F. and Quraishi, K.S. and Azman, N.S. and Cravotto, G. and Leveque, J.-M.
