Abstract

The scientific community has been seeking cost-competitive and green solvents with good dissolving capacity for the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass. At this point, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are currently emerging as a new class of promising solvents that are generally liquid eutectic mixtures formed by self-association (or hydrogen-bonding interaction) of two or three components. DESs are attractive solvents for the fractionation (or pretreatment) of lignocellulose and the valorization of lignin, owing to the high solubility of lignin in DESs. DESs are also employed as effective media for the modification of cellulose to afford functionalized cellulosic materials, such as cellulose nanocrystals. More interestingly, biomassderived carbohydrates, such as fructose, can be used as one of the constituents of DESs and then dehydrated to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in high yield. In this review, a comprehensive summary of recent contribution of DESs to the processing of lignocellulosic biomass and its derivatives is provided. Moreover, further discussion about the challenges of the application of DESs in biomass processing is presented.

  • NADES have been suggested as alternatives to traditional volatile organic solvents in chemical processes such as carbon dioxide capture, biodiesel production, lignocellulose processing, electrolytes, biocatalysis, electrochemical detection, biodegradable reaction media, super absorbents, and soil washing.

    “Therefore, in recent years they have been suggested as an alternative to traditional volatile organic solvents in chemical processes and applications such as: solvents for carbon dioxide capture (García et al. 2015;Mulia et al. 2016b), solvents for biodiesel production and processing lignocellulose (Tang et al. 2017;Taslim et al. 2016), as electrolytes (Gomez, Spisso, and Silva 2017), in biocataly”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
