Lignocellulosic biomass is an inexpensive renewable source that can be used to produce
biofuels and bioproducts. The recalcitrance nature of biomass hampers polysaccharide …

The potential for the transformation of lignocellulosic biomass into valuable commodities is
rapidly growing through an environmentally sustainable approach to harness its abundance …

This paper reviews the application of ionic liquids to the deconstruction and fractionation of
lignocellulosic biomass, in a process step that is commonly called pretreatment. It is divided …

Lignocellulosic materials, such as forest, agriculture, and agroindustrial residues, are among
the most important resources for biorefineries to provide fuels, chemicals, and materials in …

Plants represent a vast, renewable resource and are well suited to provide sustainably for
humankind's transportation fuel needs. To produce infrastructure-compatible fuels from …

The effective pre-treatment methods are required for the destruction of the complex biomass
structure to economically produce high grade fuels and valuable platform chemicals. Ionic …

Pretreatment of lignocellulose has received considerable research globally due to its
influence on the technical, economic and environmental sustainability of cellulosic ethanol …

Ionic liquids (ILs), solvents composed entirely of paired ions, have been used in a variety of
process chemistry and renewable energy applications. Imidazolium-based ILs effectively …

Ground lignocellulosic biomass (Miscanthus giganteus, pine (Pinus sylvestris) and willow
(Salix viminalis)) was pretreated with ionic liquid–water mixtures of 1-butyl-3 …

Jet turbine fuels have not been completely replaced by biomass-derived fuels due, in part, to
the lack of the aromatic and cycloalkane hydrocarbons in bio-jet fuels. Such molecules play …
