Abstract

Cellulose has a recalcitrant structure due to its complex and strong inter/intra molecular interactions, which results in the poor chemical reactivity. Pretreatment of cellulose with ionic liquids (ILs) is advantageous because of not only giving high reactivity on cellulose but environmental-friendly and recyclable natures of ILs. However, high cost of ILs themselves is problematic. We discover that smaller amounts of IL on pretreatment step provide regenerated cellulose with lower crystallinity and higher acid hydrolysis rate.
