Abstract
This review examines the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to levulinic acid (LA) using ionic liquids (ILs). Their versatile physicochemical properties make ILs attractive solvents for chemical reactions. The effects of key parameters on biomass conversion to LA in IL-based media are discussed. Functionalized ILs can serve as both solvents and catalysts. The role of ILs in biomass valorization for producing fuels and value-added chemicals is considered within the framework of lignocellulosic biorefineries. The recyclability and reusability of ILs are also examined. Although ILs may be expensive and difficult to recycle, the development of low-toxicity and reusable ILs is improving their sustainability and potential for large-scale applications.
