Lignocellulosic agricultural waste, like rice husk, is generated abundantly from rice milling industries. It is no longer mere waste but has become a treasure trove of outstanding potentials for sustainable environment growth. In this study, a series of Bronsted acidic ionic liquids (BAILs) were synthesized, characterized and used as a medium solvent to dissolve rice husk. Fractionation of rice husk into lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose was successfully achieved after 6 h of stirring at 100 °C. About 78 % and 53 % of the regenerated lignin were effectively extracted from rice husk by 1-methyl-3-(3-sulfopropyl)-imidazolium chloride, [C3SO3HMIM]Cl and 1-methyl-3-(3-sulfopropyl)-imidazolium acetate, [C3SO3HMIM][Ace] respectively, while 1-methyl-3-(3-sulfopropyl)-imidazolium hydrogen sulfate, [C3SO3HMIM][HSO4] only extracted 11 % (based on the original rice husk). The regenerated lignin and cellulose were characterized using FTIR and TGA. Among the BAILs, [C3SO3HMIM]Cl was found to be a good medium solvent to extract lignin from rice husk and could be recycled up to four times. The regenerated lignin was further depolymerized using the synthesized BAILs at 120 °C (1 h) to generate low molecular weight aromatic products, which were analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). During depolymerization process, [C3SO3HMIM][HSO4] was identified as an excellent solvent to depolymerize the lignin into low molecular weight aromatic products. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
