Biofuels

The microbial conversion of organic matter into biofuels holds potential as a renewable energy source. Among biofuel sources, microalgae are recognized as a highly efficient and adaptable feedstock for biodiesel production, owing to their rapid biomass accumulation, elevated lipid productivity, and capacity to proliferate in diverse aquatic systems, including freshwater, marine, and wastewater habitats. Unlike terrestrial crops, microalgae do not compete for land and can achieve significantly...

Background:

Safflower oil production traditionally involves separate grinding and pressing stages.
Small and medium enterprises require resource-efficient and cost-effective extraction methods.
Optimizing process parameters is crucial for maximizing oil yield and quality.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate an innovative apparatus integrating grinding and pressing for safflower oil extraction.
To identify optimal process parameters for enhanced oil yield and quality.
To compare the efficiency of the combined method with traditional approaches.

Main Methods:

Development of a novel integrated grinding-pressing apparatus.
Comparative analysis of physicochemical and fatty acid profiles.
Multiple regression and sensitivity analyses to determine optimal parameters (pressing time, grinding degree, temperature, pressure).

Main Results:

The integrated apparatus demonstrated superior extraction efficiency, reduced costs, and processing time.
Optimal parameters identified: pressing time (τ = 3.41 min) and grinding degree (i = 0.25).
Temperature was the most significant factor positively influencing oil yield; excessive grinding intensity and pressure negatively impacted efficiency.

Conclusions:

The integrated grinding-pressing apparatus offers a scalable, sustainable, and cost-effective solution for safflower oil production.
The new approach enhances oil quality, particularly its fatty acid composition.
This technology paves the way for advancements in high-yield oil extraction for small and medium enterprises.
