Abstract
- Biomass was pretreated with different ionic liquid (IL)/biomass ratios (0-10Â g/g).
- Cholinium IL (less expensive and less toxic than conventional IL) was used.
- An IL/biomass ratio of 3Â g/g was critical for sufficient biomass pretreatment.
- At an IL/biomass ratio of 3Â g/g, biomass was not liquid but solid.
- The solid-state biomass pretreatment using IL can reduce cost and waste water.
