Efficient dehydration and recovery of ionic liquid after lignocellulosic processing using pervaporation

Abstract Background Biomass pretreatment using certain ionic liquids (ILs) is very efficient, generally producing a substrate that is amenable to saccharification with fermentable sugar yields approaching theoretical limits. Although promising, several challenges must be addressed before an IL pretr...
