The establishment of the place of Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) as a new class of green
solvents was essentially grounded on naïve comparisons with Ionic Liquids (ILs), since both …

Ionic liquids have shown great potential in the last two decades as solvents, catalysts,
reaction media, additives, lubricants, and in many applications such as electrochemical …

This work provides a critical overview of the recent trends toward the development of
modern, dissolving pulp production technologies that respond to the current challenges and …

The increasing consumption of regenerated cellulose, in particular the viscose fiber, has led
to a significant development of dissolving pulps in the last decade. In this review paper, the …

The pulp and paper industry (PPI) is a major contributor to the global economy, but it also
poses a challenge for waste disposal, as it generates large amounts of several waste …

In continuation of previously reported results, the ionic liquid 1, 5-diazabicyclo [4.3. 0] non-5-
ene-1-ium acetate was also found to be a powerful non-derivatizing solvent for cellulosic …

Recently, the worldwide production of dissolving pulp has grown rapidly. Enzymatic
technologies play an important role in producing high-quality dissolving pulp, due to their …

Climate change, waste disposal challenges, and emissions generated by the manufacture of
non-renewable materials are driving forces behind the production of more sustainable …

A novel biorefinery concept based on the fractionation of woody biomass in a γ-
valerolactone (GVL)/water binary mixture is introduced. Under optimal GVL/water ratio …

Lignocellulosic biomass, encompassing cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose in plant
secondary cell walls (SCWs), is the most abundant source of renewable materials on earth …
