Abstract
⺠Miscanthus can be dissolved in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate. ⺠This pretreatment induces per se a partial delignification of miscanthus. ⺠Gaseous NH3 and O2 are able to enhance such delignification. ⺠We obtain pretreated materials with a lignin content as low as ca. 10%. ⺠Neither NH3 nor O2 has a negative influence on global recovery of carbohydrates.
