Ionic Liquids as Green Solvents for Lignocellulosic Biomass Utilization
H. Mahmood, M. Sulaiman, M. Moniruzzaman
Recently, the use of lignocellulosic biomass as a renewable raw material resource to replace fossil fuel based materials/polymers for the production of green materials and energy has gained increased worldwide interest due to concepts of sustainability. However, structural heterogeneity and the presence of strong networks of inter- and intra-molecular interactions in lignocellulosic matrices remain critical challenges for efficient conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into various products. The main goal of this chapter is to present recent technological developments in which the advantages of ILs as processing solvents for lignocellulose for the production of a plethora of green composites, fuels, and chemicals have been gradually realized.
