AbstractIonic liquids (ILs) are effective in pretreating cellulose for enhanced enzymatic saccharification, however ILs can inactivate cellulases. To guide the selection of ILs, the activity of cellulase was correlated with COSMO-RS calculations and descriptors of ILs including hydrogen bond (H-bond) basicity/acidity, polarity and ion size. Trends were deduced using an anion-series and a cation-series of ionic liquids in aqueous solutions. The activity in the cation-series was best correlated with the size of varied cations, whereas the activity in the anion-series showed a pronounced correlation to H-bond basicity and polarity of different anions. COSMO-RS was further used to predict the solubility of cellulose in ILs, which was correlated with cellulase activity on IL-pretreated cellulose. The best correlations were found between the enzyme activity in the anion-series ILs and the logarithmic activity coefficients, the H-bond energy, H-bond basicity and polarizability, underlining that the anion plays a crucial role in cellulose dissolution.
