This book focuses on the properties of deep eutectic solvents
(DESs) and recent advances in their application in lignocellulosic
biomass processing. Lignocellulosic biomass conversion to biofuels,
biochemicals and other value-added products has attracted global
attention because it is a readily available, inexpensive and
renewable resource. However, in order for biomass technologies to
be commercially viable, biomass recalcitrance needs to be
cost-effectively reduced. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are new
'green' solvents that have the high potential for biomass
processing thanks to their low cost, low toxicity,
biodegradability, and easy recycling and reuse. After an overview
of the current lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment, the book
discusses the synthesis and physiochemical properties of DESs, as
well as key findings on the effects of DES on cellulose,
hemicellulose and lignin solubilization, biomass pretreatment and
biomass crystallinity. It then addresses the enzymatic hydrolysis
performance of DES-pretreated solids, compatibility of DESs with
enzymes and microorganisms, and the recycling potential of DESs.
Lastly, it compares DESs with ionic liquids, and examines the
challenges and opportunities relating to extending the use of DESs
in lignocellulosic processing.
