Abstract
Bioconversion of lignocellulosics to ethanol is significantly hindered by biomass recalcitrance and, therefore, often requires a biomass pretreatment step. Furan-based compounds such as furfural (FF) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are versatile building blocks for fuels and chemicals. However, their production during pretreatment often suffers from low yield and low separation efficiency. Biphasic solvent systems are capable of reducing biomass recalcitrance and extracting furans into the organic phase, thus preventing their degradation, increasing their yield, and allowing much easier separation. The development of a sustainable biphasic solvent system is essential to the furan-driven biorefinery and has drawn significant attention. This review systematically summarizes recent advances in the development of biphasic solvent systems in lignocellulosic biorefinery for improving the production of liquid fuels and furan-based compounds.
