Progress of conversion of cellulose resource in ionic liquids
Lignocellulose is the most abundant renewable organic carbon resource in the world.Using lignocellulose as feedstock for the sustainable production of chemicals or fuels is of great significance to the alleviation of energy crisis and environmental impact.Owing to their excellent solubility for cellulose and other carbohydrates
ionic liquids are widely used as a kind of novel solvents in biomass conversion.This review summarizes the latest representative achievements in the use of ionic liquids for the pretreatment and conversion of lignocellulose
including cellulose dissolution
isolation of lignocellulose components
cellulose hydrolysis
production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from carbohydrates
and direct conversion of cellulose or raw biomass in ionic liquids.The challenges and future research trends of ionic liquids-mediated biomass conversion are suggested.
