Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides an ionic liquid represented by the following chemical formula, [(CH 3 ) 3 N(CH 2 ) 2 OH] + [NH 2 (CH 2 ) 3 CH(NH 2 )COO] − . The present invention provides an ionic liquid capable of dissolving cellulose within twenty-four hours.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for dissolving cellulose, the method comprising: (a) adding cellulose to ionic liquid represented by the following chemical formula (I): [(CH 3 ) 3 N(CH 2 ) 2 OH] + [NH 2 (CH 2 ) 3 CH(NH 2 )COO] −   (I). 2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: (b1) heating the ionic liquid to which the cellulose has been added to dissolve the cellulose in the ionic liquid after the step (a). 3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: (b2) leaving the ionic liquid to which the cellulose has been added at rest to dissolve the cellulose in the ionic liquid after the step (a). 4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising: (b3) stirring the ionic liquid to which the cellulose has been added to dissolve the cellulose in the ionic liquid after the step (a). 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein cellulose is dissolved in the ionic liquid within twenty-four hours after the step (a). 6. A method for dissolving cellulose, the method comprising: (a) adding cellulose to an ionic liquid composition containing an ionic liquid represented by the following chemical formula (I): [(CH 3 ) 3 N(CH 2 ) 2 OH] + [NH 2 (CH 2 ) 3 CH(NH 2 )COO] −   (I). 7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising: (b1) heating the ionic liquid composition to which the cellulose has been added to dissolve the cellulose in the ionic liquid after the step (a). 8. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising: (b2) leaving the ionic liquid composition to which the cellulose has been added at rest to dissolve the cellulose in the ionic liquid after the step (a)′. 9. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising: (b3) stirring the ionic liquid composition to which the cellulose has been added to dissolve the cellulose in the ionic liquid after the step (a). 10. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the cellulose is dissolved in the ionic liquid composition within twenty-four hours after the step (a). 11. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the ionic liquid composition contains water, and weight ratio of the water to the ionic liquid is not more than 4.3%. 12. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the ionic liquid composition contains an aprotic polar solvent. 13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the aprotic polar solvent is dimethyl sulfoxide. 14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein weight ratio of the dimethyl sulfoxide to the ionic liquid is not more than 309%.
