The concentration of reducing sugar that was produced from rice straw (150 U g−1) hydrolysis in the presence of different ionic liquids at pH 5.0, 37°C, and 1.67 Hz rotation speed. (a) Free cellulase with or without ionic liquid; (b) immobilized cellulase with or without ionic liquid. ■: rice straw hydrolysis by cellulase without ionic liquid treatment; ●: rice straw hydrolysis by cellulase and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([bmim]Cl); ▲: rice straw hydrolysis by cellulase and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([bmim]HSO4); ▼: rice straw hydrolysis by cellulase and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium diethyl phosphate ([emim]PO4(C2H6)2); ◆: rice straw hydrolysis by immobilized cellulase without ionic liquid treatment.
