Abstract:
The invention relates to the production of porous structures, selected from porous fibers, sheets, films, coatings or molded objects of synthetic polymers by dissolving the polymer in an ionic liquid and precipitating or coagulating the dissolved synthetic polymer by contacting the solution with a liquid precipitation medium.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing glucose from a starting material containing ligno-cellulose. According to said method, said material is initially treated with an ionic liquid and subsequently undergoes enzymatic hydrolysis. The invention also relates to a method for producing microbial metabolic products, especially ethanol, wherein the obtained glucose also undergoes fermentation.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a method for acylating polysaccharides or oligosaccharides in which a polysaccharide or oligosaccharide is dissolved in at least one ionic liquid and, in step A), is treated with at least one acid, optionally with the addition of water (step A1), or optionally with the addition of water at an elevated temperature (step A2), and the polysaccharides or oligosaccharides so obtained, the DP of which is lower than that of the polysaccharides or oligosaccharides used, is reacted in step B) with an acylating agent.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for acylating poly-, oligo- or disaccharides, or derivatives thereof, by dissolving them in an ionic liquid and reacting them with a ketene, and to novel acylated poly-, oligo- or disaccharides, or derivatives thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for silylating poly-, oligo- or disaccharides, or derivatives thereof, by dissolving them in an ionic liquid and reacting them with a silylating agent.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for breaking down cellulose by dissolving the cellulose in an ionic liquid and treating it with a nucleophile.
