| Abstract | The influence of reaction atmosphere on the liquefaction and depolymerization of wood in an ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C2mim][Cl]), has been systematically studied. The wood samples were treated with [C2mim][Cl] at 120°C under various atmospheres such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, both dried and humidified. The percentage of residue after the treatment shows that oxygen considerably accelerates the liquefaction of wood in [C2mim][Cl], and humidity hardly affects liquefaction under any atmosphere. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses on the solubilized compounds in [C2mim][Cl] indicate that oxygen and humidity enhance the depolymerization of the wood component. Thus, the reaction atmosphere was revealed to influence, and 1be capable of controlling, the reaction of wood in [C2mim][Cl]. |
