A new simple and safe method for quantifying lignin content in lignocellulosic biomass is
described. The approach consists of measuring the absorbance of a solution of whole …

The ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate [C2C1Im][OAc] shows a great potential
to dissolve strongly hydrogen bonded materials, related with the presence of a strong …

A sensor system for fast gas composition analysis is presented. Using linear Raman
scattering the simultaneous detection of virtually all components of fuel gas mixtures such as …

A versatile platform for the preparation of chitin films with tunable strength, morphology, and
efficacy of application has been designed from an ionic liquid process for the production of …

A combined experimental and theoretical approach including quantum chemistry tools and
computational simulation techniques can provide a holistic description of the nature of the …

We present first results on triazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) as a novel class of
nonderivatizing solvents for cellulose. Despite their chemical similarity to imidazolium …

Fuels for automotive propulsion are frequently blends of conventional gasoline and ethanol.
However, the effects of adding an alcohol to a petrochemical fuel are yet to be fully …

The density functional method is used to obtain the molecular structure, electron density
topography, and vibrational frequencies of the ion pair 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate …

The effects of hydrogen bonding between dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and the co‐solvents
water, methanol, and ethanol on the symmetric and antisymmetric CSC stretching vibrations …

Physical immobilization of ionic liquids (ILs) in solid materials appears as an interesting
strategy for the development of new sorbents for CO 2 separation from natural gas. In this …
