Cellulose, in addition to hemicellulose and lignin, makes the major fraction of lignocellulosic
biomass–the only sustainable feedstock to meet the long-term sustainable energy need of …

Lignin depolymerization, which enables the breakdown of a complex and heterogeneous
aromatic polymer into relatively uniform derivatives, serves as a critical process in …

Room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) are molten salts at around room temperatures. The
current researches of using ILs for efficient pretreatment for lignocellulosic biomass are …

Acid-catalytic degradation caused by acid source flame retardants is the main reason for a
decline in thermal stability of flame-retarded lignocellulosic materials. In the present …

A distillation apparatus was used in the pretreatment of white poplar samples with aqueous
1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C2C1Im][OAc]) solutions. During biomass …

In the present study, we pretreated the plant Guinea grass (Panicum maximum) with the
ionic liquid (IL) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate [EMIM][OAc] to expose its cellulose …

Environmental pollution by heavy metals is currently a problem of great concern for human
health. In this context, this study aims to contribute with the synthesis and characterization of …

Several studies related to effluents treatment containing heavy metals have been
developed, especially those that enable the application of lignocellulosic residues and …

A series of new N-butylammonium carboxylate ionic liquids (N-butylammonium formate, N-
butylammonium acetate, N-butylammonium propionate, and N-butylammonium butyrate) …

Studies involving the use of residual biomass from processes have grown substantially. In
this context, the efficiency of the production of second-generation ethanol and …
