    Abstract:
    Mild hydrothermal pretreatment (HP) integrating with solvent extraction is a promising two-step technique to enhance the overall lignin and carbohydrate output for lignocellulose fractionation. This work comparatively assessed the coupling effect between mild HP (the first step) and the emerging acidic choline chloride-natural acid or alkaline choline hydroxide based deep eutectic solvents (DES, the second step) for wheat straw fractionation. It was shown HP with 0.3% p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TsOH) catalyst achieved a good compromise between complete hemicellulose removal (nearly 100%) and high cellulose recovery (99.2%). While choline hydroxide based DES showed better coupling effect with HP than choline chloride-natural acid DES, corresponding to 75.6 and 31.2% lignin removal respectively. It was proposed that the alkaline DES enhanced lignocellulose swelling the lignin phenolic hydroxyl groups deprotonation and thus facilitating lignin solubilization despite of its condensation at HP. Therefore, the alkaline DES resulting cellulose-rich fraction exhibited higher potential for further processing.
