Ionic liquids: a brief history (2018, background): “This latter possibility led to rapid growth in the area (Kragl et al. 2000; Sheldon et al. 2002) and much subsequent activity on the potential applications of ionic liquids in this”
Ionic liquid‐mediated selective extraction of lignin from wood leading to enhanced enzymatic cellulose hydrolysis (2009, neutral): “Interest in ILs stems from their potential application as ‘‘green solvents’’ (Sheldon et al., 2002).”
STRUCTURAL CHANGES EVIDENCED BY FTIR SPECTROSCOPY IN CELLULOSE MATERIALS AFTER PRE-TREATMENT WITH IONIC LIQUID AND ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS (2011, background): “Ionic liquids (IL’s), a new class of cellulose-dissolving solvents (Swatloski et al. 2002), and new reaction media for biocatalysis (Van Rantwijk and Sheldon 2007; Lau et al. 2004), are potential solvents for the enzymatic saccharification of cellulose.”
Recent advance in the support and technology used in enzyme immobilization (2009, methodology): “Versatile biphasic systems could be for- med by controlling the aqueous miscibility of ionic liquid (Gutowski et al., 2003), which was conveniently used in the enzyme biocatalysis to separate the enzyme and reaction system (Sheldon et al., 2002; van Rantwijk et al., 2003).”
