TL;DR: Among the synthesized ionic liquids, [C4(Mim)2][(2HSO4)(H2SO4)4] showed higher % yield of LA up to 47.52 from bamboo biomass at 110°C for 60min, which is the better yield at low temperature and short time compared to previous reports.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acidic ionic liquids: Promising and cost-effective solvents for processing of lignocellulosic biomass
Azmat Mehmood Asim,Maliha Uroos,Sadia Naz,Misbah Sultan,Gregory Griffin,Nawshad Muhammad,Amir Sada Khan +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review described the recent developments on biomass processing ability and efficiency of different acidic ionic liquids (AILs) and different influential process variables are also look over for their impact on biomass pretreatment, deconstruction and yields of various targeted platform chemicals.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on ionic liquids as perspective catalysts in transesterification of different feedstock oil into biodiesel
Zahoor Ullah,Amir Sada Khan,Amir Sada Khan,Nawshad Muhammad,Riaz Ullah,Ali S. Alqahtani,Syed Nasir Shah,Ouahid Ben Ghanem,Mohamad Azmi Bustam,Zakaria Man +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the transesterification of fatty acid with ionic liquids, cost and recycling of ILs, the effects of adding enzyme, Lewis acids and amines on ILs catalysed reaction, the use of Bronsted acidic, basic and dicationic basic ILs as the sole solvent which supported acid/base-catalysed IL for biodiesel synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and kinetics study of biodiesel production from waste cooking oil using new functionalized ionic liquids as catalysts
TL;DR: In this paper, 1,4-sultone and benzimidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) with four different anions were synthesized, and their structures were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and elemental analysis (CHNS).
