Hydrolysis and Decomposition of Cellulose in Brönsted Acidic Ionic Liquids Under Mild Conditions

Amarasekara, Ananda S., Owereh, Onome S.·2009·Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research

Abstract

Cellulose dissolves in Brönsted acidic ionic liquids 1-(1-propylsulfonic)-3-methylimidazolium chloride and 1-(1-butylsulfonic)-3-methylimidazolium chloride up to 20 g/100 g ionic liquid by gentle mixing at room temperature. Hydrolysis of cellulose can be carried out in these ionic liquid solutions by the addition of 2.0 equiv of water per glucose unit of cellulose and heating the solution at 70 °C and at atmospheric pressure with or without preheating to give glucose along with other reducing sugars. The hydrolysis of Sigmacell cellulose (DP ∼ 450) in 1-(1-propylsulfonic)-3-methylimidazolium chloride produced the highest total reducing sugar (62%) and glucose (14%) yields and was attained in 1 h of preheating at 70 °C and 30 min of heating at 70 °C, after adding water.

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.
