Algae oil
• Nannochloropsis gaditana cultivated in vertical bioreactors by Bio Fuel Systems (Alicante, Spain)
• Extraction with ethanol carried out by VTT Technical Research Centre (Espoo, Finland)
• FAME analysis of triglyceride shows major composition is:
- 22% methyl palmitate

Algae oil
• Algae oil from initial extraction is not clean enough for use in desired reactions
• Further extraction with acetone allows removal of some acetone-insoluble phospholipids, facilitating aqueous work-up in subsequent reactions
• Dark colour of oil is transferred into reaction products – this is a problem for desired end use as an adhesive for food packaging

• Bleaching carried out with sodium hypochlorite, Fuller’s Earth and Activated Charcoal to give amber-coloured oil
Algae oil
• Attempts at bleaching algae oil with adsorbents – Fuller’s Earth, Activated Charcoal – gave poor mass return
• Algae oil converted to methyl ester

• Larger-scale polyurethane synthesis carried out with fish oil and algae oil diethanolamide and ethanolamide epoxide polyols
• Polymer samples unsuitable for tensile testing– ethanolamide epoxide PUs were difficult to cast (rapid viscosity increase) and
led to brittle samples
– diethanolamide PUs were too soft
• DMTA of diethanolamide PUs was also unsuccessful
