The dissolution of cellulose from biomass is a crucial but complicated issue for maximizing the utilization of biomass resources to produce valuable chemicals, because of the extreme insolubility of cellulose. A biphasic NaCl-H2O-tetrahydrofuran (THF) system was studied, in which most of the pure microcrystalline cellulose (M-cellulose, 96.6% conversion at 220 degrees C) and that contained in actual biomass were converted. Nearly half of the O6-H center dot center dot center dot O3 intermolecular hydrogen bonds could be broken by THF in the H2O-THF co-solvent system, whereas the cleavage of O2-H center dot center dot center dot O6 intramolecular hydrogen bonds by H2O was significantly inhibited. In the NaCl-H2O-THF system, THF could significantly promote the effects of both H2O and NaCl on the disruption of O2-H center dot center dot center dot O6 and O3-H center dot center dot center dot O5 intramolecular hydrogen bonds, respectively. In addition, THF could protect and transfer the cellulose-derived products to the organic phase by forming hydrogen bonds between the oxygen atom in THF and the hydrogen atom of C4-OH in the glucose or aldehyde group in 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which can lead more NaCl to combine with the -OH of M-cellulose and further disrupt hydrogen bonding in M-cellulose, thereby improving the yield of small molecular weight products (especially HMF) and further promoting the dissolution of cellulose. As a cheap and reusable system, NaCl-H2O-THF system may be a promising approach for the dissolution and further conversion of cellulose in lignocellulosic biomass without any enzymes, ionic liquids, or conventional catalysts.
