Mini Review: Application of ionic liquids in acid hydrolysis of lignocellulosic material to obtain sugars

In recent decades, the application of ionic liquids (LI) as pretreatment of residual biomass (BM) prior to the hydrolysis reaction, has proven to be an efficient system to improve yields towards obtaining monosaccharides. A greater recovery of monosaccharides translates into a higher yield in the pr...
