Characterization of Whole Biomasses in Pyridine Based Ionic Liquid at Low Temperature by 31P NMR: An Approach to Quantitatively Measure Hydroxyl Groups in Biomass As Their Original Structures

In this study, the dissolution of biomass components—cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, and two whole biomasses—switchgrass and poplar in a pyridine based ionic liquid at a low temperature—50°C has been examined, which will provide an opportunity to explore the original structures of biomass comp...
