Abstract
The presence of sulfur-containing compounds in fuel oil has become a major global issue due to their release of toxic sulfur dioxide. Hydrodesulfurization is a commonly used method for removing sulfur from fuel. However, new desulfurization techniques have been developed recently as hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is ineffective in removing refractory sulfur, e.g., BT, DBT, 4-MDBT. In this study, a series of deep eutectic solvent (DES) using ChCl, salicylic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, and adipic acid as hydrogen bond acceptors and MeOH, EtOH, BuOH, EG, DEG, and TEG as hydrogen bond donors on different mole ratios were synthesized and then investigated the efficiency of these DESs in extracting sulfur from model and diesel fuel. Densities, viscosity, refractive index, and FTIR spectra of synthesized DESs were recorded. It also included oxidative desulfurization, which is a promising approach offering high selectivity, mild reaction conditions, low cost, and high efficiency. Hydrogen peroxide was selected as the oxidant in this study due to its excellent performance, commercial availability, and high proportion of active oxygen. [Citric acid: TEG] [1:7] and [adipic acid: TEG] [1:8] were found to be the most effective, removing up to 44.07% and 42.53% sulfur from model oil during single-stage extraction at 30 °C using a solvent-to-feed ratio of 1.0 and was increased to 86.87% and 85.06% using successive extraction up to the fourth stage. On oxidation, extraction efficiencies were reported to be 98.98%, 87.79%, and 56.25% and 96.96%, 81.22%, and 44.51% for model oil containing DBT and diesel 1 and diesel 2 with DES [citric acid: TEG] [1:7] and [adipic acid: TEG] [1:8] respectively at 30 °C using a solvent-to-feed ratio of 1.0. The study found that [citric acid: TEG] [1:7] exhibits better extraction performance in the deep desulfurization of fuels at an extraction temperature of 30 °C.

Abstract
The greener chemical and enzymatic pretreatments for lignocellulosic biomasses are portraying a crucial role owing to their recalcitrant nature. Traditional pretreatments lead to partial degradation of lignin and hemicellulose moieties from the pretreated biomass. But it still restricts the enzyme accessibility for the digestibility towards the celluloses and the interaction of lignin-enzymes, nonproductively. Moreover, incursion of certain special chemical treatments and other lignin sulfonation techniques to the enzymatic pretreatment (hybrid enzymatic pretreatment) enhances the lignin structural modification, solubilization of the hemicelluloses and both saccharification and fermentation processes (SAF). This article concentrates on recent developments in various chemical and hybrid enzymatic pretreatments on biomass materials with their mode of activities. Furthermore, the issues on strategies of the existing pretreatments towards their industrial applications are highlighted, which could lead to innovative ideas to overcome the challenges and give guideline for the researchers towards the lignocellulosic biorefineries.

Thermal behaviour of hydrochar derived from hydrothermal carbonization of food waste using leachate as moisture source: Kinetic and thermodynamic analysis. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 373:128734. [PMID: 36791981 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.128734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The effect of leachate (L) as a reaction medium in hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of food waste (FW) on the thermal behaviour of the resulting hydrochar (H) was investigated. The physicochemical and structural characterization of FW hydrochar produced using leachate (FWH-L) at different process temperatures (180/210/240 °C) confirmed the improved properties over raw FW. Kinetic analysis using Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO), Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) and Friedman methods revealed that FWH-L have a lower activation energy (Ea) than raw FW. The average Ea values for raw FW by FWO, KAS and Friedman methods were 196.18, 196.85, 206.34 kJ/mol, respectively, while for FWH-L they were 127.89, 124.22 and 134.5 kJ/mol, respectively. The computed thermodynamic parameters showed that FWH-L has improved combustion behaviour. The results of FWH-L are well comparable to FW hydrochar produced using distilled water (FWH-DW). These findings demonstrated that residual ions in leachate would act as a catalyst, benefiting the HTC degradation reaction path.

Abstract
The circular economy considers waste to be a new raw material for the development of value-added products. In this context, agroindustrial lignocellulosic waste represents an outstanding source of new materials and platform chemicals, such as levulinic acid (LA). Herein we study the microwave (MW)-assisted acidic conversion of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) into LA. The influence of acidic catalysts, inorganic salt addition and ball-milling pre-treatment of MCC on LA yield was assessed. Depolymerization and disruption of cellulose was monitored by FTIR, TGA and SEM, whereas the products formed were analyzed by HPLC and NMR spectroscopy. The parameters that afforded the highest LA yield (48 %, 100 % selectivity) were: ball-milling pre-treatment of MCC for 16 min at 600 rpm, followed by MW-assisted thermochemical treatment for 20 min at 190 °C, aqueous p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TSA) 0.25 M as catalyst and saturation with KBr. These optimal conditions were further applied to a lignocellulosic feedstock, namely melon rind, to afford a 51 % yield of LA. These results corroborate the suitability of this method to obtain LA from agroindustrial wastes, in line with a circular economy-based approach.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass can be used as a renewable and sustainable energy source to help reduce the consequences of global warming. In the new energy age, the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass into green and clean energy displays remarkable potential and makes efficient use of waste. Bioethanol is a biofuel that can diminish reliance on fossil fuels while minimizing carbon emissions and increasing energy efficiency. Various lignocellulosic materials and weed biomass species have been selected as potential alternative energy sources. Vietnamosasa pusilla, a weed belonging to the Poaceae family, contains more than 40% glucan. However, research on the applications of this material is limited. Thus, here we aimed to achieve maximum fermentable glucose recovery and bioethanol production from weed biomass (V. pusilla). To this end, V. pusilla feedstocks were treated with varying concentrations of H3PO4 and then subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis. The results indicated that after pretreatment with different concentrations of H3PO4, the glucose recovery and digestibility at each concentration were markedly enhanced. Moreover, 87.5% of cellulosic ethanol was obtained from V. pusilla biomass hydrolysate medium without detoxification. Overall, our findings reveal that V. pusilla biomass can be introduced into sugar-based biorefineries to produce biofuels and other valuable chemicals.

Abstract
In the past few years, the research on particle-stabilized emulsion (Pickering emulsion) has mainly focused on the usage of inorganic particles with well-defined shapes, narrow size distributions, and chemical tunability of the surfaces such as silica, alumina, and clay. However, the presence of incompatibility of some inorganic particles that are non-safe to humans and the ecosystem and their poor sustainability has led to a shift towards the development of materials of biological origin. For this reason, nano-dimensional cellulose (nanocellulose) derived from natural plants is suitable for use as a Pickering material for liquid interface stabilization for various non-toxic product formulations (e.g., the food and beverage, cosmetic, personal care, hygiene, pharmaceutical, and biomedical fields). However, the current understanding of nanocellulose-stabilized Pickering emulsion still lacks consistency in terms of the structural, self-assembly, and physio-chemical properties of nanocellulose towards the stabilization between liquid and oil interfaces. Thus, this review aims to provide a comprehensive study of the behavior of nanocellulose-based particles and their ability as a Pickering functionality to stabilize emulsion droplets. Extensive discussion on the characteristics of nanocelluloses, morphology, and preparation methods that can potentially be applied as Pickering emulsifiers in a different range of emulsions is provided. Nanocellulose's surface modification for the purpose of altering its characteristics and provoking multifunctional roles for high-grade non-toxic applications is discussed. Subsequently, the water-oil stabilization mechanism and the criteria for effective emulsion stabilization are summarized in this review. Lastly, we discuss the toxicity profile and risk assessment guidelines for the whole life cycle of nanocellulose from the fresh feedstock to the end-life of the product.

Abstract
With the great adjustment of world industrialization and the continuous improvement of energy consumption requirements, the selective conversion of biomass-based platform molecules to high-value chemicals and biofuels has become one of the most important topics of current research. Catalysis is an essential approach to achieve energy-chemical conversion through the “bond breaking-bond formation” principle, which opens a broad world for the energy sector. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are a new frontier in the field of catalysis in recent years, and exciting achievements have been made in biomass energy chemistry. This mini-review focuses on catalytic conversion of biomass-based levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone (GVL) over SACs. The current challenges and future development directions of SACs-mediated catalytic upgrading of biomass-based LA to produce value-added GVL, and the preparation and characterization of SACs are analyzed and summarized, aiming to provide theoretical guidance for further development of this emerging field.

Abstract
Herein, acidic concentrated lithium bromide-water system was efficiently carried out to synthesize levulinic acid (LA) from raw lignocellulose by two-step treatment. Saccharification was processed in 1st step, and 80.96 wt% glucose and 85.60 wt% xylose were yielded based on their theoretical yield from poplar at 110 °C for 20 min. The hydrolysate after solid residual lignin (SRL) separation was converted into LA and furfural by thermal treatment (130 °C) in the 2nd step, where 67.0 wt% LA and 48.0 wt% furfural were yielded. The SRL in 1st step, with high hydrophobicity and uniform dispersity, was used to prepare lignin nanoparticles (LNPs), which showed tailored size (100-200 nm diameters) and morphology in solid or hollow structure with single hole. Additionally, the residue in 2nd step was suggested as biochar. So far, this study offered a simple pathway for utilization of raw lignocellulose in water system, resulting in high yields of LA and LNPs.

Abstract
This work presents a cost-effective approach for processing of renewable carbon-rich biomass using pyridinium-based Lewis acidic ionic liquids (LAILs). Rice husk as carbon-rich lignocellulosic waste was pretreated with a series of neutral and Lewis acidic ionic liquids to yield valuable intermediate platform monosaccharides. Novelty in the work lies in direct conversion of lignocellulosic carbohydrates into reducing sugars without their further conversion into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural or any other platform chemicals that are fermentation inhibitors for bioethanol production. The unconverted cellulose-rich material (CRM) is regenerated as a delignified material by the simultaneous addition of antisolvents. CRM and recovered lignin obtained after pretreatment were analyzed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The process was optimized with respect to a high yield of platform sugars and the quantity as well as quality of recovered CRM and lignin contents. Various reaction parameters involving the molecular structure of ionic liquids (ILs), Lewis acidic strength of ILs, biomass loading into IL, time, temperature, and biomass particle size were screened thoroughly. From all of the tested ILs, unsymmetrical 3-methylpyridinium IL having N-octyl substitution and chloroaluminate anion showed a greater conversion efficiency at 100 °C for 1.5 h. FTIR and SEM analyses of recovered CRM justify >90% lignin removal from rice husk. From all of the removed lignin, 60 wt % of original lignin content was recovered. The Lewis acidic system possessed recycling ability up to 3 times for subsequent treatment of rice husk without a significant loss of efficiency.

Abstract
The production of chemicals and fuels from renewable biomass with the primary aim of reducing carbon footprints has recently become one of the central points of interest. The use of lignocellulosic biomass for energy production is believed to meet the main criteria of maximizing the available global energy source and minimizing pollutant emissions. However, before usage in bioenergy production, lignocellulosic biomass needs to undergo several processes, among which biomass pretreatment plays an important role in the yield, productivity, and quality of the products. Acid-based pretreatment, one of the existing methods applied for lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment, has several advantages, such as short operating time and high efficiency. A thorough analysis of the characteristics of acid-based biomass pretreatment is presented in this review. The environmental concerns and future challenges involved in using acid pretreatment methods are discussed in detail to achieve clean and sustainable bioenergy production. The application of acid to biomass pretreatment is considered an effective process for biorefineries that aim to optimize the production of desired products while minimizing the by-products.

Abstract
The utilization of renewable lignocellulosic biomasses for bioenergy synthesis is believed to facilitate competitive commercialization and realize affordable clean energy sources in the future. Among the pathways for biomass pretreatment methods that enhance the efficiency of the whole biofuel production process, the combined microwave irradiation and physicochemical approach is found to provide many economic and environmental benefits. Several studies on microwave-based pretreatment technologies for biomass conversion have been conducted in recent years. Although some reviews are available, most did not comprehensively analyze microwave-physicochemical pretreatment techniques for biomass conversion. The study of these techniques is crucial for sustainable biofuel generation. Therefore, the biomass pretreatment process that combines the physicochemical method with microwave-assisted irradiation is reviewed in this paper. The effects of this pretreatment process on lignocellulosic structure and the ratio of achieved components were also discussed in detail. Pretreatment processes for biomass conversion were substantially affected by temperature, irradiation time, initial feedstock components, catalyst loading, and microwave power. Consequently, neoteric technologies utilizing high efficiency-based green and sustainable solutions should receive further focus. In addition, methodologies for quantifying and evaluating effects and relevant trade-offs should be develop to facilitate the take-off of the biofuel industry with clean and sustainable goals.

Abstract
Nowadays, the food industry is heavily involved in searching for green sources of valuable compounds, to be employed as potential food ingredients, to cater to the evolving consumers’ requirements for health-beneficial food ingredients. In this frame, agri-food by-products represent a low-cost source of natural bioactive compounds, including antioxidants. However, to effectively recover these intracellular compounds, it is necessary to reduce the mass transfer resistances represented by the cellular envelope, within which they are localized, to enhance their extractability. To this purpose, emerging extraction technologies, have been proposed, including Supercritical Fluid Extraction, Microwave-Assisted Extraction, Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction, High-Pressure Homogenization, Pulsed Electric Fields, High Voltage Electrical Discharges. These technologies demonstrated to be a sustainable alternative to conventional extraction, showing the potential to increase the extraction yield, decrease the extraction time and solvent consumption. Additionally, in green extraction processes, also the contribution of solvent selection, as well as environmental and economic aspects, represent a key factor. Therefore, this review focused on critically analyzing the main findings on the synergistic effect of low environmental impact technologies and green solvents towards the green extraction of antioxidants from food by-products, by discussing the main associated advantages and drawbacks, and the criteria of selection for process sustainability.

Abstract
Peanut skin having polyphenols as major constituents is a natural, abundant, and environmentally friendly potent biosorbent for aquatic pollutants such as heavy metals. Its natural potential can be enhanced several times by treating it with ionic liquids-the green solvents. This report presents a complete study on biosorption of divalent cadmium ions using ionic liquid-treated peanut skin. Initially, both peanut biomasses, skin and shells, were tested, and peanut skin was used for thorough experimentation because of its higher adsorption potential (q e values). Ionic liquids are highly green and designed solvents with vast adjustable striking features such as high thermal and chemical stability, insignificant vapor pressure, wide electrochemical assortment, non-volatility, non-flammability, less toxicity, and high recycling ability. Peanut skin after treatment with ionic liquids was characterized via FTIR, TGA, SEM, and XRD. The biosorption process was optimized with respect to time, temperature, metal ion concentrations, agitation speed, pH, and adsorbent dose. Data obtained were interpreted by kinetic, isothermal, and thermodynamic models. The biosorbent and ionic liquid both are regenerated and recycled up to three times, so cost effectiveness is a promising thing.

Abstract
Ionic liquids have been proven efficient and environmental medium for producing platform chemical levulinic acid. Lack of high-efficiency, stable and low-cost recovery strategy with complex electrolyte form restricts the further scale-up of ionic liquids for platform chemicals production. Membrane-based techniques including ultrafiltration (UF) and bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BMED) were employed for the high-efficiency recovery, regeneration and recycling of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate [Emim][HSO4] for levulinic acid production from sugarcane bagasse. UF-BMED treatment works based on the interception of macromolecule biomass degradation products by UF treatment with regional recovery of Emim+ and SO42- by BMED treatment. Effect of major parameters on [Emim][HSO4] recovery performance was determined. Recovery ratio for Emim+ and SO42- approached 95.4% and 95.9%. Energy consumption of specific [Emim][HSO4] recovery was closed to 5.8 kWh/kg. Insight gained from this study suggests a high-efficiency and economical strategy for platform chemicals production with green solvent ionic liquids.

Abstract
Oxygen delignification presents high efficiency but causes damage to cellulose, therefore leading to an undesired loss in pulp strength. The effect of ionic liquid pretreatment of [BMIM][HSO4] and [TEA][HSO4] on oxygen delignification of the eucalyptus kraft pulp was investigated at 10% IL loading and 10% pulp consistency, after which composition analysis, pulp and fiber characterizations, and the mechanism of lignin degradation were carried out. A possible dual effect of enhancing delignification and protecting fibers from oxidation damage occurred simultaneously. The proposed [TEA][HSO4] pretreatment facilitated lignin removal in oxygen delignification and provided fibers with improved DP, fiber length and width, and curl index, resulting in the enhanced physical strength of pulp. Particularly, its folding endurance improved by 110%. An unusual brightness reduction was identified, followed by detailed characterization on the pulps and extracted lignin with FTIR, UV, XPS, and HSQC. It was proposed that [TEA][HSO4] catalyzed the cleavage of β-O-4 bonds in lignin during the oxygen delignification, with the formation of Hibbert’s ketones and quinonoid compounds. The decomposed lignin dissolved and migrated to the fiber surface, where they facilitated the access of the oxidation agent and protected the fiber framework from oxidation damage. Therefore, it was concluded that ionic liquid pretreatment has a dual effect on oxygen delignification.

Abstract
Keto acids are essential organic acids that are widely applied in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, beverages, and feed additives as well as chemical synthesis. Currently, most keto acids on the market are prepared via chemical synthesis. The biochemical synthesis of keto acids has been discovered with the development of metabolic engineering and applied toward the production of specific keto acids from renewable carbohydrates using different metabolic engineering strategies in microbes. In this review, we provide a systematic summary of the types and applications of keto acids, and then summarize and compare the chemical and biochemical synthesis routes used for the production of typical keto acids, including pyruvic acid, oxaloacetic acid, α-oxobutanoic acid, acetoacetic acid, ketoglutaric acid, levulinic acid, 5-aminolevulinic acid, α-ketoisovaleric acid, α-keto-γ-methylthiobutyric acid, α-ketoisocaproic acid, 2-keto-L-gulonic acid, 2-keto-D-gluconic acid, 5-keto-D-gluconic acid, and phenylpyruvic acid. We also describe the current challenges for the industrial-scale production of keto acids and further strategies used to accelerate the green production of keto acids via biochemical routes.

Abstract
The reasonable and effective use of lignocellulosic biomass is an important way to solve the current energy crisis. Cellulose is abundant in nature and can be hydrolyzed to a variety of important energy substances and platform compounds—for instance, glucose, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), levulinic acid (LA), etc. As a chemical linker between biomass and petroleum processing, LA has become an ideal feedstock for the formation of liquid fuels. At present, some problems such as low yield, high equipment requirements, difficult separation, and serious environmental pollution in the production of LA from cellulose have still not been solved. Thus, a more efficient and green catalytic system of this process for industrial production is highly desired. Herein, we focus on the reaction mechanism, pretreatment, and catalytic systems of LA from cellulose and cellulosic biomass, and a series of existing technologies for producing LA are reviewed. On the other hand, the industrial production of LA is discussed in depth to improve the yield of LA and make the process economical and energy efficient. Additionally, practical suggestions for the enhancement of the stability and efficiency of the catalysts are also proposed. The use of cellulose to produce LA is consistent with the concept of sustainable development, and the dependence on fossil resources will be greatly reduced through the realization of this process route.

Abstract
The pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass (LC biomass) prior to the anaerobic digestion (AD) process is a mandatory step to improve feedstock biodegradability and biogas production. An important potential is provided by lignocellulosic materials since lignocellulose represents a major source for biogas production, thus contributing to the environmental sustainability. The main limitation of LC biomass for use is its resistant structure. Lately, biological pretreatment (BP) gained popularity because they are eco-friendly methods that do not require chemical or energy input. A large number of bacteria and fungi possess great ability to convert high molecular weight compounds from the substrate into lower mass compounds due to the synthesis of microbial extracellular enzymes. Microbial strains isolated from various sources are used singly or in combination to break down the recalcitrant polymeric structures and thus increase biogasgeneration. Enzymatic treatment of LC biomass depends mainly on enzymes like hemicellulases and cellulases generated by microorganisms. The articles main purpose is to provide an overview regarding the enzymatic/biological pretreatment as one of the most potent techniques for enhancing biogas production.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A facile and efficient method for synthesis of 3, 4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones via Biginelli reaction catalyzed by a novel dicationic Brönsted acidic ionic liquid, [(EtNH2)2SO][HSO4]2, has been successfully developed. MATERIALS AND METHODS 3, 4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones were synthesized through one-pot condensation of aromatic aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate, and urea under solvent-free conditions using [(EtNH2)2SO][HSO4]2 as a novel catalyst. The progress of the reaction was monitored by thin-layer chromatography (ethyl acetate / n-hexane = 1 / 5). The products have been characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and also by their melting points. RESULTS In this research, a library of dihydropyrimidinone derivatives was synthesized via Biginelli reaction under solvent-free conditions at 120oC using [(EtNH2)2SO][HSO4]2 as a catalyst. Various aromatic aldehydes, as well as heteroaromatic aldehydes, were employed, affording good to high yields of the corresponding products and illustrating the substrate generality of the present method. In addition, the prepared dicationic Brönsted acidic ionic liquid can be easily recovered and reused. CONCLUSION 1, 1'-Sulfinyldiethylammonium bis (hydrogen sulfate), as a novel dicationic ionic liquid, can act as a highly efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 3, 4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones under solvent-free conditions.

Zhang H, Lang J, Lan P, Yang H, Lu J, Wang Z. Study on the Dissolution Mechanism of Cellulose by ChCl-Based Deep Eutectic Solvents. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 13:E278. [PMID: 31936299 PMCID: PMC7014281 DOI: 10.3390/ma13020278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2019] [Revised: 12/29/2019] [Accepted: 01/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Four deep eutectic solvents (DESs), namely, glycerol/chlorocholine (glycerol/ChCl), urea/ChCl, citric acid/ChCl, and oxalic acid/ChCl, were synthesized and their performance in the dissolution of cellulose was studied. The results showed that the melting point of the DESs varied with the proportion of the hydrogen bond donor material. The viscosity of the DESs changed considerably with the change in temperature; as the temperature increased, the viscosity decreased and the electrical conductivity increased. Oxalic acid/ChCl exhibited the best dissolution effects on cellulose. The microscopic morphology of cellulose was observed with a microscope. The solvent system effectively dissolved the cellulose, and the dissolution method of the oxalic acid/ChCl solvent on cellulose was preliminarily analyzed. The ChCl solvent formed new hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose through its oxygen atom in the hydroxyl group and its nitrogen atom in the amino group. That is to say, after the deep eutectic melt formed an internal hydrogen bond, a large number of remaining ions formed a hydrogen bond with the hydroxyl groups of the cellulose, resulting in a great dissolution of the cellulose. Although the cellulose and regenerated cellulose had similar structures, the crystal form of cellulose changed from type I to type II.

Abstract
Degradation of cellulose to reducing sugar is the key step for the conversion of cellulose to valuable chemicals. Cellulose was degraded by WCl6 in 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazole chloride at 80 °C and lower. 83% and 85.5% yield of total reducing sugar was gotten at 70 and 80 °C, respectively. Compared with inorganic acid, heteropoly acid, acidic ionic liquid and other metal chlorides, WCl6 has shown better catalytic performance for degradation of cellulose to reducing sugar. The effect of reaction temperature, reaction time, WCl6 amount and cellulose concentration were investigated. Degradation of cellulose by WCl6 in 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazole chloride is a zero reaction. WCl6 also showed excellent catalytic performance for the degradation of nature cellulose and lignocellulose. Catalyst can be reused at least 5 times without decrease of reducing sugar yield. The mechanism of degradation of WCl6 was also suggested.

Abstract
Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass to overcome its intrinsic recalcitrant nature prior to the production of valuable chemicals has been studied for nearly 200 years. Research has targeted eco-friendly, economical and time-effective solutions, together with a simplified large-scale operational approach. Commonly used pretreatment methods, such as chemical, physico-chemical and biological techniques are still insufficient to meet optimal industrial production requirements in a sustainable way. Recently, advances in applied chemistry approaches conducted under extreme and non-classical conditions has led to possible commercial solutions in the marketplace (e.g. High hydrostatic pressure, High pressure homogenizer, Microwave, Ultrasound technologies). These new industrial technologies are promising candidates as sustainable green pretreatment solutions for lignocellulosic biomass utilization in a large scale biorefinery. This article reviews the application of selected emerging technologies such as ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, pulsed electrical field, ultrasound and high pressure as promising technologies in the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
Abstract
The highly effectual synthesis of 4,6-diarylpyrimidin-2(1H)-ones via the one-pot multicomponent reaction of acetophenones with arylaldehydes and urea in the presence of trimethylsilyl chloride and a catalytic amount of the ionic liquid N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediaminium-N,N′-disulfonic acid hydrogen sulfate ([TMEDSA][HSO4]2) under solvent-free conditions has been described. The reaction results and conditions of the catalytic system have been compared with previously reported catalysts. [TMEDSA][HSO4]2 afforded better results in comparison with the reported catalysts in terms of one or more of these factors: yield, temperature, the reaction media, time, and generality. Moreover, a plausible reaction mechanism based on dual functionality of the catalyst has been proposed.
