Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass with ionic liquids (ILs) for the large-scale biorefinery remains challenging due to its high price. This study focused on the utilization of inorganic salts as adjuvants for ionic liquid-water pretreatment to improve the tolerance to water and the reusability of the ILs. After the pretreatment of rice straw by the mixture of 40% 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C<sub>2</sub>mim]Cl) + 53% water + 7% K<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> at 110 °C for 1 h, the r ...[more]
