This study focuses on the application of new hydrophobic imidazolium-based IL as a solvent in biomass conversion process. A novel IL, namely, 1,3-dipropyl-2-(2-propoxyphenyl)-4,5-diphenylimidazolium iodide ([DPDIm]I), was synthesized and subsequently used as a solvent for biomass conversion to produce levulinic acid (LA) and Formic Acid (FA). The performance of [DPDIm]I supported by H2SO4 as a solvent was shown by cellulose conversion into 94.23% of LA and 18.85% of FA at the optimum conditions of 140 °C temperature and the reaction time of two hours. A reusability test revealed the performance of [DPDIm]I as a solvent that can be recycled up to five times for biomass conversion.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Biomass conversion,Biomass conversion process,Cellulose conversion,Imidazolium-based,Levulinic acid,Optimum conditions,Biomass,Catalysis,Formates,Iodides,Ionic Liquids,Levulinic Acids[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Cellulose conversion,imidazolium-based IL,ionic liquid (IL),levulinic acid (LA),MAOS method[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][{‘$’: ‘The authors gratefully acknowledge financial support from IMHERE-FMIPA Institut Teknologi Bandung; Program Penelitian, Pengabdian Masyarakat dan Inovasi (P3MI) Institut Teknologi Bandung.’}, {‘$’: ‘The authors gratefully acknowledge financial support from IMHERE-FMIPA Institut Teknologi Bandung; Program Penelitian, Pengabdian Masyarakat dan Inovasi (P3MI) Institut Teknologi Bandung.’}][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2020.123864[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
