Ionic liquids (ILs) are excellent solvents for cellulose, but the dissolution mechanism is not deeply understood. In present study, cellobiose was used as a model of and imidazolium halide-based ILs with same cation 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (Bmim+) including BmimCl, BmimBr, BmimI were solvents. The interaction between analyzed by carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR). results showed...

Abstract Rice Husks (RHs) are one of the most abundant sources biomass in world due to rice consumption. Lignocellulose and silica two main components RHs, which allow RHs be applied different areas. can partially dissolved 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMIMCl), is a simple way competing with traditional extraction methods that suffer from high chemical A lignocellulose freeze gel obtai...

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as promising alternative candidates for CO2 capture in recent years. In this work, several novel DESs were firstly prepared to enhance CO2 absorption. Structural and physical properties of DESs were investigated, as well as their absorption performance of CO2. A distinct depression in the melting point up to 80 K of DESs was observed compared with that...

Hybrid gel polymer electrolytes (HGPEs) based on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-polylactic acid (PLA) doped with LiTFSI and incorporated 1-butyl-3-methylimidozalium chloride (BmimCl) were successfully prepared. The complexes of the HGPEs different BmimCl contents characterized via Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Based impedance spectroscopy analysis, composit...

The evaporation/decomposition behavior of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMImCl) was studied with various techniques, such as thermogravimetry (TG), Knudsen effusion mass loss (KEML), and spectrometry (KEMS), in order to investigate competition between simple evaporation gaseous ion pairs (NIP: neutral pair) thermal decomposition releasing volatile species. TG/DSC experi...

As the imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL), 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMIMCl), is increasingly employed in various applications, release of BMIM cation into environment has posed serious threats on aquatic ecology. Thus, it imperative to eliminate from water, and, among techniques for eliminating BMIM, chemical oxidation most effective technique. Nevertheless, studies using SO4−-bas...

Cellulose is present in biomass as crystalline microfibrils held together by a complex network of intermolecular interactions making it difficult to initiate its hydrolysis and conversion to fuels. While cellulose is insoluble in water and most organic solvents, complete dissolution of cellulose can be achieved in certain classes of ionic liquids (ILs). The present study was undertaken to analy...

Four ammonium and imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) have been synthesized and screened against the T98G cell line (brain cancer) and HEK normal cells. Treatment induced metabolic cell death (MTT), growth inhibition, clonogenic inhibition were studied as cellular response parameters. Treatment with ILs enhanced growth inhibition and cell death in a concentration dependent manner in both the T98G a...
