Pretreatment process is considered as the most important step for effective microalgae biomass refining and has gained more interest since last decades. However, the main obstacles to commercialize microalgae products are recalcitrant cell wall and lack of cost-effective, green, and sustainable pretreatment approaches. Till now, various microalgae pretreatment approaches have been applied prior to extraction steps to enhance the accessibility of solvent inside the cells. However, high energy consumption and the hazardousness of solvents are considerable problem for these pretreatment methods. In this regard, deep eutectic solvents are recognized as sustainable and green solvents possessing great potential for microalgae biomass processing due to their low toxicity, low cost, biodegradability, easy recycling, and reuse. This article provides the fundamentals of DES composition, synthesis, properties, and the current advances in the application of microalgae biomass process.
预处理过程被认为是有效提炼微藻生物质的最重要步骤，在过去几十年中引起了更多的关注。然而，将微藻产品商业化的主要障碍是其顽固的细胞壁以及缺乏经济高效、绿色和可持续的预处理方法。到目前为止，在提取步骤之前已经应用了各种微藻预处理方法来提高溶剂在细胞内的可及性。然而，这些预处理方法存在高能耗和溶剂的危害性等问题。在这方面，由于深共晶溶剂具有低毒性、低成本、可生物降解性、易于回收和再利用等特点，被认为是可持续和绿色溶剂，具有很大的用于微藻生物质加工的潜力。本文提供了 DES 的组成、合成、性质以及在微藻生物质处理中的应用的最新进展的基础知识。
