Title: | ATR-FTIR Measurement of Biomass Components in Phosphonium Ionic Liquids | Contributor(s): | Keskar, Sai S (author); Edye, Leslie A (author); Fellows, Chris (author) ; Doherty, William O S (author) | Publication Date: | 2012 | DOI: | 10.1080/02773813.2011.631718 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/12046 | Abstract: | Qualitative and quantitative measurements of biomass components dissolved in the phosphonium ionic liquids (ILs), trihexyltetradecylphosphonium chloride ([P66614]Cl) and tributylmethylphosphonium methylsulphate ([P4441 MeSO₄), are obtained using attenuated total reflectance-FTIR. Absorption bands related to cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin dissolution monitored in situ in biomass-IL mixtures indicate lignin dissolution in both ILs and some holocellulose dissolution in the hydrophilic [P4441]MeSO₄. The kinetics of lignin dissolution reported here indicate that while dissolution in the hydrophobic IL [P66614]Cl appears to follow an accepted mechanism of acid catalyzed β-aryl ether cleavage, dissolution in the hydrophilic IL [P4441]MeSO₄ does not appear to follow this mechanism and may not be followed by condensation reactions (initiated by reactive ketones). The measurement of lignin dissolution in phosphonium ILs based on absorbance at 1510 cm⁻¹ has demonstrated utility. When coupled with the gravimetric Klason lignin method, ATR-FTIR study of reaction mixtures can lead to a better understanding of the delignification process. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology, 32(3), p. 175-186 | Publisher: | Taylor & Francis Inc | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1532-2319 0277-3813 |
