Ionic liquid-mediated technology to produce cellulose nanocrystals directly from wood
(Elsevier, 2015-09)We report for the first time the direct extraction of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from wood by means of a 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([EMIM][OAc]) treatment. A native cellulosic product could be recovered in 44% ... -
On the prevalence of side reactions during ionosolv pulping of Norway spruce with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acesulfamate
(Springer Netherlands, 2014-12)We report on the low efficiency of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acesulfamate ([BMIM]Ace) at delignifying Norway spruce. A systematic kinetic and structural study of [BMIM]Ace pulping of spruce wood at 120 °C allowed shedding ... -
Swelling, viscoelastic, and anatomical studies on ionic liquid-swollen Norway spruce as a screening tool toward ionosolv pulping
(De Gruyter, 2015-11)To screen ionic liquid (IL) candidates for wood ionosolv pulping, swelling and viscoelastic studies on Norway spruce wood treated with ionic liquids have been conducted. In particular, the temperature dependency and kinetics ...
