In the past decade, ionic liquids (ILs) have received enormous interest as solvents for
cellulose. They have been studied intensively for fractionation and biorefining of …

As the most abundant biomass in nature, cellulose is considered to be an excellent
feedstock to produce renewable fuels and fine chemicals. Due to its hydrogen-bonded …

The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass for biofuels and biorefinery applications is limited
due to the cost of pretreatment to separate or access the biomass's three main usable …

Lignocellulosic biomass is increasingly being promoted as an environmentally and
economically sustainable fuel. However, the complex structure of lignocellulose makes it …

Ionic liquids, as reaction media, and sonochemistry are two recently developing fields of
chemistry that present some similarities. Firstly, they constitute separately unconventional …

A new carboxylate-functionalized sugarcane bagasse (SMA) was prepared via a solvent-
free procedure involving esterification of sugarcane bagasse with Meldrum's acid. The …

Production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic biomass inevitably requires the biomass to be
pretreated to remove lignin and produce fermentable sugars. This review is focused on the …

In this work, the solubilities of lignin and cellulose in ionic liquids (ILs) have been analyzed
and compared by COSMO-RS simulation. The excess enthalpy of the IL+ lignin/cellulose …

All-cellulose nanocomposite films were prepared using native cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs)
as fillers and lithium chloride/N, N-dimethylacetamide (LiCl/DMAc) dissolved regenerated …

Adsorption performance and stability of the carboxyl groups modified straws and their
extracts of cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose for Pb 2+ were investigated, and the optimum …
