| description | In order to increase the fractionation efficiency of the wheat straw, a deep eutectic solvent (DES) system consisting of chlorine/lactic acid was used in this study for wheat straw pretreatment. The outcomes exhibited that DES pretreatment significantly enhanced the capability to extract lignin, retain cellulose, and remove hemicellulose. The best condition for the pretreatment of wheat straw was 150 °C for 6 h. The process retained most cellulose in the pretreated biomass (49.94–73.60%), and the enzymatic digestibility of the pretreatment residue reached 89.98%. Further characterization of lignin showed that the high yield (81.54%) and the high purity (91.33%) resulted from the ether bond cleavage in lignin and the connection between hemicellulose and lignin. As for application, the enzymatic hydrolysis of the best condition reached 89.98%, and the lignin also had suitable stability. The investigation exhibited that DES pretreatment has the potential to realize an efficient fractionation of lignocellulosic biomass into high-applicability cellulose and lignin of high-quality. |
