“…This process involves the cleavage of various chemical bonds in the biomass using an organic solvent. Different organic solvents such as polyhydric alcohols [5,6] phenol [7,8], ethylene carbonate [9,10], dioxane [11], ethanol [12], and acetone [13,14] have been used in wood liquefaction. The wood liquefaction technology essentially involves the chemical modification of wood by the esterification or etherification of the hydroxyl groups commonly found in the main components of wood, viz., high-molecular-weight cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin.…”
