Room temperature ionic liquids (ILs) have recently been very popular as green solvents due to their unique physicochemical properties of negligible vapor pressure, non-flammability, excellent thermal stability and a strong ability to dissolve a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds. They also have great potential as reaction media or co-solvent for enzymatic bioconversion including biodiesel production. In this presentation, the application of ILs in biomass pretreatment will be mainly addressed. ILs have been used as alternative solvent for cellulose pretreatment. Pretreatment of biomass is key factors for enhance enzymatic saccharification and fermentation of biomass for biofuel and bio-based chemical industry. The ILs-pretreated celluloses become less crystalline and in somewhat condition have lower degree of polymerization (DP) than that of the nature. Microwave heating could cause a significant decrease in DP of cellulose dissolved in ILs which led to a great improvement on cellulase-catalyzed cellulose hydrolysis. Microwave heating was also effective on the pretreatment of sea algae (Ulva pertusa Kjellman) for enhanced enzymatic hydrolysis.
