This process is called delignification, and it is usually done by using harsh chemicals that are harmful to the environment and human health. In this work, we used a new and green solvent, called deep eutectic solvent-like mixtures, to delignify hemp biomass. Deep eutectic solvent-like mixtures are made from choline chloride and lactic acid, which are cheap, safe, and biodegradable. We tested different combinations of temperature (80–160 °C), time (60–240 min.), and solvent amount (1:10–1:60) to find the best conditions for delignification. We measured the Kappa number, which indicates how much lignin is left in the fibers, and the efficiency of delignification, which indicates how much lignin is removed.
