This new approach achieved 40% glucose yield from bagasse within 12 min at 160°C; whereas, almost no glucose was yielded with a well-known method involving H2SO4 and conventional heating within 30 min at the same temperature. It was confirmed that the reaction temperature significantly affected glucose yield and reaction rate; whereas, the concentration of the acidic ionic liquid only affected the reaction rate. Three kinds of lignocellulosic biomass, including bagasse (herbaceous biomass), eucalyptus (hardwood), and Japanese cedar (softwood), were examined. Glucose yield was in the range of 30–40%, indicating that the present method effectively hydrolyzes various kinds of lignocellulosic biomasses., 金沢大学ナノマテリアル研究所 / 金沢大学理工研究域生命理工学系}, pages = {809--813}, title = {Enhanced Hydrolyisis of Lignocellulosic Biomass Assisted by a Combination of Acidic Ionic Liquids and Microwave Heating}, volume = {49}, year = {2016} }
