Efficient CO2 conversion by formate dehydrogenase is limited by the low CO2 concentrations that can be reached in traditional buffers. The use of ionic liquids was proposed as a manner to increase CO2 concentration in the reaction system. It has been found, however, that the required cofactor (NADH) heavily degraded during the enzymatic reaction and that acidity was the main reason. Acidity, indeed, resulted in reduction of the conversion of CO2 into formic acid and contributed to overestimate the amount of formic acid produced when the progression of the reaction was followed by a decrease in NADH absorbance (method N). Stability of NADH and the mechanism of NADH degradation was investigated by UV, NMR and by DFT calculations. It was found that by selecting neutral–basic ionic liquids and by adjusting the concentration of the ionic liquid in the buffer, the concentration of NADH can be maintained in the reaction system with little loss. Conversion of CO2 to methanol in BmimBF4 (67.1%) was more than twice as compared with the conversion attained by the enzymatic reaction in phosphate buffer (24.3%).

Conversion of oil palm fronds (OPF) to levulinic acid (LA) over Fe/HY zeolite catalyst in BMIM[Br] ionic liquid has been investigated in this study. The optimization of OPF conversion reported 24.7% levulinic acid yield at 153 °C, 5.9 h, 0.96 g and 1.1 g of reaction temperature, reaction time, OPF loading and catalyst loading, respectively. The results indicated that BMIM[Br] could disrupt the covalent linkages in the OPF structures and dissolved the hollocellulose. This allowed the hollocellulose chains, accessible to the chemical transformation, to react and produce LA in presence of the Fe/HY catalyst. This study demonstrated that the combination of Fe/HY catalyst and BMIM[Br] has the potential to be applied for biomass conversion to LA under adequate process conditions.
