Commercial Aspects of Biomass Deconstruction with Ionic Liquids

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Commercial Applications of Ionic Liquids

Part of the book series: Green Chemistry and Sustainable Technology ((GCST))

Abstract

The adaption of any new process from academic research to industrial-scale requires a robust economic profile demonstrating it can compete with peer technologies. IonoSolv process is a recently developed ionic liquid-based pretreatment that pioneers the use of low-cost ionic liquids for biomass fractionation. The use of low-cost protic ionic liquids elevated the techno-economic profile of the process, making its potential commercialization highly viable. In this chapter, the authors give an overview of key process-related aspects that underpinned this transformation, with special highlights on the progressive milestones achieved in developing a promising commercial ionic liquid-based pretreatment process. We also highlight the current challenges and knowledge gaps that need to be tackled to further elevate the technology readiness level.
