Abstract

Conventional solvents remain the most used media for lignocellulosic biomass valorization. However, these solvents exhibit many limitations and have a negative environmental impact. In the last decade, Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) have emerged as a multifaceted tool in biomass valorization, with a promising perspective in the application of lignocellulosic biomass valorization. DESs have gained attention in the last decade as an alternative solvent in biomass valorization and biorefinery processes due to their high efficiency; eco-friendliness; low cost; and numerous other advantages, such as recyclability, non-volatility, and stability. This paper discusses the latest research on the potential applications of DESs in the valorization of secondary lignocellulosic biomass.
