Improved Acetylation Efficacy of Wood Fibers by Ionic Liquid Pretreatment

Poplar wood fibers (WFs) were pretreated with ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C4mim]Cl) at 125 °C for 1 h, and the influence of the wood loadings (5%, 15%, 30%, and 50%) on the pretreatment efficiency and downstream acetylation was studied. The crystallinity and lignin conte...
