The conversion of biomass to valuable chemicals could improve the sustainability of their production. The depolymerization and conversion of biopolymers into useful materials using ionic liquids as reaction systems is a relatively new approach.<\/p>\n

Arvind Kumar and Mohit J. Mehta, CSIR Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute, Bhavnagar, India, have developed an efficient and economical integrated biomass processing strategy which uses a mixed ionic-liquid system. The researchers have extracted Coumarin-rich essential oil from Cinnamomum cassia bark and separated lignin and cellulose using a combination of ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) and 1-butyl-3-menthyl imidazolium chloride ([C4mim]Cl) under mild conditions in a recyclable manner.<\/p>\n

The team also used residual biopolymers for the preparation of UV-blocking films, blending the residual lignocellulosic material with chitosan. The resultant films exhibid excellent mechanical strength and are able to block 100 % of UV radiation, while allowing 15\u201320 % transmittance in the visible-light region.<\/p>\n
