Abstract
Lignin utilization in value-added co-products is an important component of enabling cellulosic biorefinery economics. However, aqueous dilute acid pretreatments yield lignins with limited applications due to significant modification during pretreatment, low solubility in many solvents, and high content of impurities (ash, insoluble polysaccharides). This work addresses these challenges and investigates the extraction and recovery of lignins from lignin-rich insoluble residue following dilute acid pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover using three extraction approaches: ethanol organosolv, NaOH, and an ionic liquid. The recovered lignins exhibited recovery yields ranging from 30% for the ionic liquid, 44% for the most severe acid ethanol organosolv condition tested, and up to 86% for the most severe NaOH extraction condition. Finally, the fractional solubilities of different recovered lignins were assessed in a range of solvents and these solubilities were used to estimate distributions of Hildebrand and Hansen solubility parameters using a novel approach.

Abstract
The rational design and construction of controllable selenylation strategy are important for the study on the structure-activity relationship of Se polysaccharides. Herein, selenized Artemisia sphaerocephala polysaccharides (SePASs) were synthesized by using sulfonic acid functionalized ionic liquids (SFILs) as catalysts in order to study the regulation of the cation/anion constitute on the selenylation efficiency and Se polysaccharide structure. Impressively, SFILs could promote the efficient substitution of seleno-group on the polysaccharide backbone through the synergistic catalysis by cation/anions (Se content up to 5582.7 μg/g). Further, reaction mechanism and potential dissolution effect was supported by DFT calculation and polarized light microscopy. 13C NMR and FT-IR spectra analysis of SePASs exhibited that selenite existed in polysaccharides and the substitution position occured at C-6. SEC-MALLS, monosaccharide composition results revealed that strong acidity of SFILs lead to the driving forces toward low molecular mass polysaccharide fragments and synergistic effect of anion/cations in SFILs (-SO3H group of cations as proton donor, anions as nucleophile) showed regulation on average molecular mass. In addition, the strong attractions between the seleno-groups generated agglomeration of polysaccharide chain, which was proved by applying AFM analysis. Therefore, this work provided a new insight for manipulate Se content and MW of Se polysaccharides.

Abstract
A series of organic sulfonate inner salts, viz., aprotic imidazolium- and pyridinium-based zwitterions bearing sulfonate groups (-SO3-), were synthesized for the catalytic conversion of fructose-based carbohydrates into 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). The dramatic cooperation of both the cation and anion of inner salts played a crucial role in the HMF formation. The inner salts have excellent solvent compatibility, and 4-(pyridinium)butane sulfonate (PyBS) affords the highest catalytic activity with 88.2 and 95.1% HMF yields at almost full conversion of fructose in low-boiling-point protic solvent isopropanol (i-PrOH) and aprotic solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), respectively. The substrate tolerance of aprotic inner salt was also studied through changing the substrate type, demonstrating its excellent specificity for catalytic valorization of fructose-moiety-containing C6 sugars, such as sucrose and inulin. Meanwhile, the neutral inner salt is structurally stable and reusable; after being recycled four times, the catalyst showed no appreciable loss of its catalytic activity. The plausible mechanism has been elucidated based on the dramatic cooperative effect of both the cation and sulfonate anion of inner salts. The noncorrosive, nonvolatile, and generally nonhazardous aprotic inner salt used in this study will benefit many biochemical-related applications.

Abstract
Lignin, the second largest component of biomass, is considered as an important alternative source of fossil reserves for the production of fuels and chemicals. Here, we developed a novel method to oxidatively degrade organosolv lignin into value-added four-carbon esters, particularly diethyl maleate (DEM), with the cooperative catalyst consisting of 1-(3-sulfobutyl) triethylammonium hydrogen sulfate ([BSTEA]HSO4) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ferric chloride ([BMIM]Fe2Cl7). Under optimized conditions (1.00 MPa initial O2 pressure, 160 °C, 5 h), the lignin aromatic ring was effectively cleaved by oxidation to form DEM with a yield of 15.85% and a selectivity of 44.25% in the presence of the synergistic catalyst of [BMIM]Fe2Cl7-[BSMIM]HSO4 (1/3, mol/mol). The structure and composition analysis of lignin residues and liquid products confirmed that the aromatic units in lignin were effectively and selectively oxidized. Furthermore, the catalytic oxidation of lignin model compounds was explored for obtaining a possible reaction pathway of oxidative cleavage of lignin aromatic units to DEM. This study provides a promising alternative method for the production of traditional petroleum-based chemicals.

Abstract
The grave concerns arisen as a result of environmental pollution and diminishing fossil fuel reserves in the 21st century have shifted the focus on the use of sustainable and environment friendly alternative resources. Lignocellulosic biomass constituted by cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin is an abundantly available natural bioresource. Lignin, a natural biopolymer has over the years gained much importance as a high value material with commercial importance. The present review provides an in-depth knowledge on the journey of lignin from being considered a roadblock to a bridge connecting diverse industries with widescale applications. The successful valorization of lignin for the production of bio-based platform chemicals and fuels has been the subject of intensive investigation. A deeper understanding of lignin characteristics and factors governing the biomass conversion into valuable products can support improved biomass consumption. The components of lignocellulosic biomass might be totally transformed into a variety of value-added products with the improvements in bioprocess techniques that valorize lignin. In this review, the recent advances in the lignin extraction and depolymerization methods that may help in achieving the cost-economics of the bioprocess are summarized and compared. The industrial potential of lignin-derived products such as aromatics, biopolymers, biofuels and agrochemicals are also outlined. Additionally, assessment of the recent research trends in lignin valorization into value-added chemicals has been done and present scenario of technological-industrial applications of lignin with economic perspectives is highlighted.

Abstract
The impact of pretreatment severity in the acidic protic ionic liquid (IL) N,N-dimethylbutylammonium hydrogen sulfate, [DMBA][HSO4] using pine softwood was investigated using a modified severity factor that considers the IL solution acidity based on Hammett acidity. A Box-Behnken experimental design was employed to evaluate pretreatment severity with temperature, pretreatment time, and IL concentration as factors and degree of delignification as the response variable. The optimal pretreatment conditions were found to be at 170 °C, 30 min, and 80 wt % IL, which yielded nearly 90% of delignification and 95% of glucose yield in enzymatic saccharification. The modified severity factor showed an improved correlation with the fractionation indicators relative to the classical pretreatment severity factor, indicating that it can better predict the pretreatment outcomes, particularly for delignification and hemicellulose removal. The fate of hemicellulose, its conversion to humins, and its impact on the precipitated lignin properties were also investigated and correlated to the modified pretreatment severity factor. It was found that such parameters alone cannot be used to predict the fate of dissolved hemicellulose sugars in the IL medium. Furthermore, IL acidity greatly impacts the degradation of the dissolved hemicellulose sugars and the formation of humins.

Abstract
Benzimidazole dicationic ionic liquids (BDILs) have not yet been widely explored in spite of their potential. Therefore, two structurally related families of BDILs, paired with either bromide or bistriflimide anions and bearing alkyl spacers ranging from C3 to C6, have been prepared. Their thermal properties have been studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), while their electrical properties have been assessed by cyclic voltammetry (CV). TG analysis confirmed the higher stability of the bistriflimide BDILs over the bromide BDILs, with minor variation within the two families. Conversely, DSC and CV allowed for ascertaining the role played by the spacer length. In particular, the thermal behavior changed dramatically among the members of the bistriflimide family, and all three possible thermal behavior types of ILs were observed. Furthermore, cyclic voltammetry showed different electrochemical window (C3(C1BenzIm)2/2Tf2N < C4(C1BenzIm)2/2Tf2N, C5(C1BenzIm)2/2Tf2N < C6(C1BenzIm)2/2Tf2N) as well as a reduction peak potential, shape, and intensity as a function of the spacer length. The results obtained highlight the benefit of accessing a more structurally diverse pool of compounds offered by dicationic ILs when compared to the parent monocationic ILs. In particular, gains are to be found in the ease of fine-tuning their properties, which translates in facilitating further investigations toward BDILs as designer solvents and catalysts.

Abstract
Oxidation of lignin to value-added aromatics through selective C-C bond cleavage via metal-free and mild strategies is promising but challenging. It was discovered that the cations of ionic liquids (ILs) could effectively catalyze this kind of strong bond cleavage by forming multiple weak hydrogen bonds, enabling the reaction conducted in air at temperature lower than 373 K without metal-containing catalysts. The cation [CPMim]+ (1-propylronitrile-3-methylimidazolium) afforded the highest efficiency in C-C bond cleavage, in which high yields (>90 %) of oxidative products were achieved. [CPMim]+ could form three ipsilateral hydrogen bonds with the oxygen atom of C=O and ether bonds at both sides of the C-C bond. The weak bonds joint effects could promote adjacent C-H bond cleave to form free radicals and thereby catalyze the fragmentation of the strong C-C. This work opens up an eco-friendly and energy-efficient route for direct valorization of lignin by enhancing IL properties via tuning the cation.
