Ionic Liquids and Cellulose: Dissolution, Chemical Modification and Preparation of New Cellulosic Materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to its abundance and a wide range of beneficial physical and chemical properties, cellulose has become very popular in order to produce materials for various applications. This review summarizes the recent advances in the development of new cellulose materials and technologies using ionic liquids. Dissolution of cellulose in ionic liquids has been used to develop new processing technologies, cellulose functionalization methods and new cellulose materials including blends, composites, fibers and ion gels.

Ionic liquids--promising but challenging solvents for homogeneous derivatization of cellulose.
In the past decade, ionic liquids (ILs) have received enormous interest as solvents for cellulose. They have been studied intensively for fractionation and biorefining of lignocellulosic biomass, for dissolution of the polysaccharide, for preparation of cellulosic fibers, and in particular as reaction media for the homogeneous preparation of highly engineered polysaccharide derivatives. ILs sho...
متن کاملDMAP-CATALYZED PHTHALYLATION OF CELLULOSE WITH PHTHALIC ANHYDRIDE IN [bmim]Cl
It has been generally accepted that some ionic liquids are good media for homogeneous functionalization of cellulose. However, phthalylated cellulosic derivatives prepared in ionic liquids without any catalyst have lower DS as compared to the acetylated ones. In order to prepare the phthalylated cellulosic derivatives with higher DS, chemical modification of sugarcane bagasse cellulose with pht...
متن کاملCatalytic transformation of carbohydrates and lignin in ionic liquids
Ionic liquids with anions of strong hydrogen-bond basicity have been broadly reported in the literature as effective solvents for the dissolution of the components of lignocellulosic biomass. The key attributes of various ionic liquids are reviewed with a focus on their structural and functional properties related to biomass dissolution capacity. A number of the most studied ionic liquids with ...
متن کاملThe pretreatment of miscanthus using ionic liquids; a way for biofuel production
Biomass, as fuel source, is renewable, environmentally friendly and abundant in the natural world. Lignocellulosic biomass is a potential source of renewable energy for transportation fuels through the conversion of fermentable sugars derived from cellulose and hemicelluloses to biofuels. A lignocellulosic material contains up to 35-50% cellulose which is the most abundant biopolymer on the ear...
متن کاملSelective Breakdown of (Ligno)cellulose in Ionic Liquids
(Ligno)cellulose is mainly composed of cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, and extractives, which represents an abundant carbon-neutral renewable resource. Increasing concerns about global warming and diminishing fossil fuel reserves have stimulated much effort to use (ligno)cellulose as an alternative to petroleum for the production of fuels and chemicals. From a sustainability point of view, sh...
