Characterization of Microcrystalline Cellulose after Pretreatment with Low Concentrations of Ionic Liquid-H2O for a Pyrolysis Process

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) samples pretreated by ionic liquid (ILs)-H2O mixtures were studied for application in a pyrolysis process. A 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium methanesulfonate [Emim][MeSO3]-H2O mixture with solid acid catalyst Nafion®NR50 was used in the pretreatment process. A lower amou...
