Pretreatment Of Oil Palm Fronds Using A Solvent-Ionic Liquid (BMIM)Cl To Enhance Glucose Recovery

The potential of oil palm frond (OPF) as glucose source for fuel ethanol production was investigated in this current work. Pretreatment of lignocellulosic feedstock with a solvent, ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3 methylimidazolium chloride ((BMIM)Cl) was used to facilitate the conversion of OPF into fer...
