Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention discloses one pot process for the conversion of hemicellulose into C5 sugars using ionic liquids in water media.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A one pot process for conversion of substrate comprising Rice Husk-1, Rice Husk-2, Wheat straw, hemicellulose and Bagasse to C5 and C6 sugars, the process comprising: mixing substrate, solvent and ionic liquid catalyst at a temperature in the range of 130 to 180° C. for a time in the range of 10 min to 12 h to obtain C5 and C6 sugars, wherein C5 sugars yield is in the range of 70% to 95%. 2 . (canceled) 3 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein solvent is water. 4 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein ionic liquid catalyst is selected from 1-methyl-3-(3-sulfopropyl)-imidazolium hydrogensulfate, 1-methyl-3-(3-sulfopropyl)-imidazolium para-toluenesulfonate, 1-methyl-3-(3-sulfopropyl)-imidazolium chloride or 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride. 5 . The process according to claim 4 , wherein ionic liquid catalyst is 1-methyl-3-(3-sulfopropyl)-imidazolium hydrogensulfate. 6 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein C5 sugars are selected from xylose and arabinose. 7 . (canceled) 8 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein C6 sugars are selected from glucose and fructose with yields in the range of 10 to 15%. 9 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein the process is carried out in batch mode. 10 . The process according to claim 1 , wherein the ionic liquid catalyst is recovered and reused.
