New natural and renewable low transition temperature mixtures (LTTMs): screening as solvents for lignocellulosic biomass processing

New natural and biorenewable solvents are prepared in this work consisting of high melting temperature starting materials that form low transition temperature mixtures (LTTMs). The physicochemical behaviour of these new solvents can be tailored by a judicious selection of the constituents’ nature and ratio. Their suitability as solvents for lignocellulosic biomass processing is evaluated.
