Abstract
Using deep eutectic solvents (DESs), which ones act as
solvent systems, offer an interesting green alternative
to conventional technology in materials science, espe-
cially in the biomass processing. There is lack of infor-
mation dealing with the delignification and bleaching
effect of DESs in broad-leaved fiber process. This work
describes application of various DESs on unbleached
pulp, to study the influence of dissolution of lignin and
protection of cellulose in the delignification process.
In this work, two ternary deep eutectic solvents
(urea-acetamide-glycerol) in molar ratio 1 : 2 : 3 and
(malic acid-proline-lactic acid) in molar ratio 1 : 2 : 4
were synthesized and their density was studied in a
temperature range of 25 to 75 0
C. Unbleached pulp
(Kappa 14) was treated with prepared ternary deep
eutectic solvents. The treatment was carried out in a
water bath at present temperature of 60 0
C and atmo-
spheric pressure for 2 hours. Solubility tests of cellu-
lose were performed using pure cellulose (Whatman
paper) in the DESs reagents. In 50 mL glass bottles, 0.5
g of the respective component was added separately
into 20 mL of DES reagent and then incubated at 60 0
C
for 2 h.The samples were filtered through glass fiber fil-
ters and dried at 105 0
C to constant weight. The weight
of dried residual solid components was calculated in
order to evaluate the % solubility in the DES reagent.
Density of urea-acetamide-glycerol (molar ratio 1 : 2 :
3) decreased with a temperature from 1,220 to 1,199
g/cm3
and density of malic acid-proline-lactic acid
(molar ratio 1 : 2 : 4) decreased from 1,292 to 1,220
g/cm3
. Application of DESs to the lignocellulosic ma-
trix - pulp does not resulted in a significant decrease
of lignin content. Deep eutectic solvent (urea-acet-
amide-glycerol) in molar ratio 1 : 2 : 3 removed 5,4 %
and DES (malic acid-proline-lactic acid) in molar ratio 1
: 2 : 4 removed 1.4 % lignin from unbleached pulp. The
solubility of cellulose in ternary deep eutectic solvents
was zero.
Results show that prepared ternary deep eutectic sol-
vents are able to delignify the pulp. However, the effi-
ciency of delignification is not comparable to that of
oxygen delignification. At the same time, used deep
eutectic solvents do not cause dissolution of cellulose
in pulp fibers.
Key words: Ternary deep eutectic solvents, Pulp, Delig-
nification.
1. Introduction
Current technological processes used to produce fi-
brous materials from lignocellulosic raw materials
require high chemical and energy consumption and
cause significant environmental pollution. Oxygen
delignification is often used for delignification of kraft
pulp before bleaching to reduce the amount of chlo-
rinated organic compounds in the bleach plant efflu-
ent (Springer and McSweeny, [1]). Modifying the con-
ventional oxygen delignification, which would reduce
the residual lignin content by more than 50 %, would
reduce the consumption of bleaching chemicals and
improve the environmental aspects of the process (Al-
lison and McGrouther, [2]). The use of deep eutectic
solvents (DESs) offers an interesting ”green” alterna-
tive to conventional technologies in the pulp industry
(Choi et al., [3]). These solvents can be used to dissolve
lignocellulosic biomass or individual components of

biomass such as lignin (Francisco et al., [4]). The DESs
have promising potential application in the treatment
of biomass (Jablonsky et al., [5], Kumar et al., [6], Pro-
centese et al., [7], Skulcova et al., [8]), pulp (Jablonsky
et al., [9], Skulcova et al., [10]), paper, and recycling in-
dustries. DESs have attractive physicochemical prop-
erties such as: non-flammability, low vapor pressure,
biocompatibility, biodegradability and wide liquid
range. Before considering a new solvent for incorpo-
ration into an industrial application, a fundamental
understanding must be established for the chemical
and physical properties of the solvent (Huddleston et
al., [11]). Deep eutectic solvents open the way to pulp
production at low temperatures and atmospheric
pressures. Ternary deep eutectic solvents (TDESs) have
been reported in order to increase the DESs range to-
ward their applications (Chemat et al., [12]). One hot
topic where TDESs were applied at was CO2
capturing.
Sze et al., [13], reported the use of three carbon dioxide
capturing materials that formed TDESs mixtures with
choline chloride and glycerol. On the other hand, Dai
et al., [14], synthesized TDESs using natural materials,
which were plant’s primary metabolites materials. Liu
et al., [15], synthesized and characterized the proper-
ties of several novel TDESs containing zinc halides that
can be used both as catalyst and solvent in various
catalytic reactions. These contribution studies made
a clear evidence that the DESs have great flexibility in
forms, synthesis and applications.
Research work on preparation and characterization of
two ternary deep eutectic solvents is presented in this
report.The effects of these eutectic solvents on biomass
components such as lignin and cellulose were inves-
tigated. Density and viscosity are one of the most im-
portant physical properties of solvents. The accessibility
of the lignocellulose material for delignification by DES
depends on several factors.The essential factors limiting
the access of the fibers are macro and microstructure of
the fibers (Wojcak and Pekarovicova, [16]). In the case of
solid matrix samples, DESs applications have been limit-
ed, especially due to their viscosity.
2. Materials and Methods
2.1 Preparation and characterization of TDESs
Proline, acetamide, DL-malic acid (≥ 99% mass frac-
tion purity) and urea (99.5% mass fraction purity) were
purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Lactic acid (90% solu-
tion) was purchased from VWR Chemicals and glycerol
(≥ 99% mass fraction purity) was purchased from Cen-
tralchem s. r. o. Ternary deep eutectic solvents were
prepared by the heating method. Mixtures of the cor-
responding reagents with required molar ratio were
heated and stirred in a water bath at the appropriate
temperature (70 - 90 0
C). A homogeneous liquid was
obtained and then allowed to be cooled to room tem-
perature. Physicochemical properties of deep eutectic
solvents were measured in different temperature rang-
es. The dynamic viscosity measurement was measured
in a rotating viscometer (Brookfield DV 2+) in the tem-
perature range 30 - 90 0
C. Densities were determined
with a pycnometer in the range 25 - 75 0
C.
2.2 Evaluation of solubility of cellulose in TDES
­reagent
Solubility tests of cellulose were performed using pure
cellulose (Whatman paper) in the DESs reagents. In 50
mL glass bottles, 0.5 g of the respective component
was added separately into 20 mL of DES reagent and
then incubated at 60 0
C for 2 h. The samples were fil-
tered through glass fiber filters and dried at 105 0
C to
constant weight. The weight of dried residual solid
components was calculated to evaluate the % solubil-
ity in the DES reagent. Table 1 shows prepared DESs
and some of their properties.
2.3 Pulp characterization
The hardwood kraft pulp was obtained from MONDI
SCP, Ružomberok, Slovakia. Characterization of chem-
ical properties of pulp before and after DES delig-
nification are listed in Table 3 and Table 4. The Kappa
number of the pulp was used to estimate the lignin
content and was determined according to Technical
Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI)
standard method T-236. The viscosity of the pulp was
used to estimate the intrinsic viscosity or degree of po-
lymerization (DP) of the cellulose within the pulp fibre.
The measurements were determined by dissolving the
pulp in cupriethylene diamine solution, and then mea-
suring the elution times in a capillary viscometer at
constant temperature. In order to estimate the amount
of scissions, the degree of polymerization (DP) of the
carbohydrates was calculated from intrinsic viscosity
using Mark-Houwink equation, where ([η]) is the intrin-
sic viscosity (mL/g) of pulp (Rydholm, [17]).

, %) expressed as

a decrease in Kappa number, κ, on the unit change of
the intrinsic viscosity was calculated from Eq. 2:

Where: κ0
is the initial Kappa number of pulp, κt
is the Kappa number
of pulp after delignification; [η]0
is the initial intrinsic viscosity of pulp
(mL/g); [η]t
is the intrinsic viscosity of pulp after delignification (mL/g).
The efficiency of delignification (Efcκ
) expressed as a
decrease in Kappa number on the unit change of the
initial Kappa number of pulp was calculated from Eq. 3:

2.4Evaluationofdeepeutecticdelignificationofpulp
Deep eutectic solvents were applied on unbleached
beech pulp to follow the efficiency of the mixture in
the process of removing lignin residues after kraft de-
lignification. The treatment was carried out in a water
bath with continuous stirring, at preset temperature of
60 0
C and atmospheric pressure for 2 hours. Residual
lignin content (Kappa number) and viscosity of pulp
after DESs delignification were determined using stan-
dard TAPPI methods. The efficiency of the solvents was
analyzed through the selectivity, calculated from vis-
cosity and Kappa number.
3. Results and Discussion
Viscosity is one of the most important properties of any
solvent.Viscosity of most DESs at ambient conditions is
very large, being related to van derWaals forces, hydro-
gen bonding, and electrostatic interactions, as well as
to the nature of individual components and their mo-
lar ratio, water content, and temperature (García et al.,
[18]). Most DESs have a viscosity higher than 100 mPa.s
at room temperature. However, DESs with low viscosity
are desirable for their applications as green solvents.
Viscosities of examined TDESs are decreasing with
temperature as show Figure 1. Each TDESs attained its
lowest viscosity at the highest tested temperature of
95 0
C. Increased kinetic energy through heating may
weaken the attractive forces between molecules and
thus may cause a decrease in viscosity. The obtained
data shows that the TDESs composed of urea-acet-
amide-glycerol have lower viscosity values than the
TDES malic acid-proline-lactic acid.
The density of DESs varies greatly from temperature
and individual components. It has been shown that
the density decreases linearly with increasing tem-
perature. This phenomenon is due to vibration of the
anions and cations during heating in the eutectic mix-
ture. Vibrations may cause a molecular alteration in
DESs due to weak interactions between the ions. As a
result, the density of the fluid is reduced.
The experimental density results for the samples of
TDESs as a function of temperature are plotted in Fig-
ure 2. The density of TDES urea-acetamide-glycerol de-
creased with a temperature from 1220 to 1199 kg/m3
and density of malic acid-proline-lactic acid decreased
from 1292 to 1220 kg/m3
. The obtained data shows
that the TDES composed of urea, acetamide and glyc-
erol have lower density values than the TDES contain-
ing malic acid, proline and lactic acid. The density de-
creases linearly with temperature for DESs in the whole
studied temperature range, and a linear equation was
used to express the correlation with the temperature:
			 ρ = a + bxT (4)
Where: ρ corresponds to density in kg m−3
; T is the temperature in K;
a, and b are the fitting parameters.
The a and b values derived from equation 4 for the
studied TDESs are presented in Table 2.

Characterization and effect on pulp properties after
TDESs delignification are listed in Table 3. Unbleached
pulp with initial Kappa number 14 was used. The Kap-
pa number indicates the residual lignin content or
bleachability of pulp. The Kappa number determina-
tion was used to estimate the lignin content of pulp
by measuring the pulp oxidation capacity. TDES (malic
acid-proline-lactic acid) caused a decrease of kappa
number representing the efficiency of 1.4%. The effi-
ciency ofTDES (urea-acetamide-glycerol) in molar ratio
1 : 2 : 3 has reached value 5.4%. However, the efficiency
of delignification is not comparable to that of oxygen
delignification.
In work Majova et al., [19], a series of binary deep eu-
tectic solvents were used for delignification of pulps
with different initial kappa numbers. The efficiency of
delignification in the range of 14 to 22% for the pulp
with initial Kappa of 14.3 was achieved.
From the viewpoint of pulp degradation, the original
degree of polymerization (1226) decreased to 1150
units after TDES (urea-acetamide-glycerol), which rep-
resented a 6.2% decrease. TDES malic acid-proline-lac-
tic acid caused a higher (10%) decrease of DP.

Decrease in DP is associated with scission of cellulose
chains.This phenomenon is clearly documented in sev-
eral papers (Calvini [20], Ding and Wang, [21], Ding and
Wang, [22], Ekenstamn, [23], Emsley et al., [24]). Ding
and Wang, [22], introduced continuous scalar variable
δ, and named it“percentage retention of DP”:
		 δ = DPt
/DP0
(5)
Where: DP0
denotes the initial degree of polymerization and DPt
the
real degree of polymerization, decreased as a result of deterioration
due to degradation of cellulose.
At the beginning of processing-related degradation
(t = 0), δ =1, during degradation its value decreases,
and δ = 0 which means total damage of the sample.
Degradation variable of cellulose can then be defined
in terms of the percentage DP loss as:
	 ωDP
= 1 - δ = 1 - DPt
/DP0
(6)
Where: ωDP
is the accumulated DP loss of cellulose.
The extent of degradation can be, thus, expressed
also using the above relation. At the beginning
ωDP
= 0, i.e. an average DP is preserved. ωDP
= 1 rep-
resents a (theoretical) total damage of the sample
­depending on ­specific experimental conditions. It is
generally accepted that when DP has decreased to
an average DP of about 200, the paper will lose all its
mechanical strength; if DP0
= 1000, then δ = 0.2, and
the accumulated degradation critical value ωDPcr
= 0.8.
When comparing the degradation of cellulose, it is ob-
vious that the effect of DESs differs. The degradation of
cellulose expressed as DP loss is 0.06 after treatment
with urea-acetamide-glycerol and 0.10 with use of ma-
lic acid-proline-lactic acid.

4. Conclusions
- The excellent properties of deep eutectic solvents
highlight their advantages as promising not expensive
green solvents for the delignification of pulp and re-
placement of oxygen delignification.The viscosity, and
density were investigated for two ternary deep eutec-
tic solvent mixtures (urea-acetamide-glycerol and ma-
lic acid-proline-lactic acid).
- The results have indicated different properties for
both mixtures. Results show that prepared ternary
deep eutectic solvents are able to delignify the pulp.
However, the efficiency of delignification is not com-
parable to that of oxygen delignification. At the same
time, they do not cause significant dissolution of cellu-
lose in pulp fibers.

Journal of Hygienic Engineering and Design 76 Original scientific paper UDC 676.1.022.62 Veronika Majova1* , Michal Jablonsky1 , Andrea Skulcova1 , Katarina Ondrigova1 1 Department of Wood, Pulp, and Paper, Institute of Natural and Synthetic Polymers, Slovak University of Technology, Radlinského 9, 81237 Bratislava, Slovak Republic * e-mail: veronika.majova@stuba.sk Abstract Using deep eutectic solvents (DESs), which ones act as solvent systems, offer an interesting green alternative to conventional technology in materials science, espe- cially in the biomass processing. There is lack of infor- mation dealing with the delignification and bleaching effect of DESs in broad-leaved fiber process. This work describes application of various DESs on unbleached pulp, to study the influence of dissolution of lignin and protection of cellulose in the delignification process. In this work, two ternary deep eutectic solvents (urea-acetamide-glycerol) in molar ratio 1 : 2 : 3 and (malic acid-proline-lactic acid) in molar ratio 1 : 2 : 4 were synthesized and their density was studied in a temperature range of 25 to 75 0 C. Unbleached pulp (Kappa 14) was treated with prepared ternary deep eutectic solvents. The treatment was carried out in a water bath at present temperature of 60 0 C and atmo- spheric pressure for 2 hours. Solubility tests of cellu- lose were performed using pure cellulose (Whatman paper) in the DESs reagents. In 50 mL glass bottles, 0.5 g of the respective component was added separately into 20 mL of DES reagent and then incubated at 60 0 C for 2 h.The samples were filtered through glass fiber fil- ters and dried at 105 0 C to constant weight. The weight of dried residual solid components was calculated in order to evaluate the % solubility in the DES reagent. Density of urea-acetamide-glycerol (molar ratio 1 : 2 : 3) decreased with a temperature from 1,220 to 1,199 g/cm3 and density of malic acid-proline-lactic acid (molar ratio 1 : 2 : 4) decreased from 1,292 to 1,220 g/cm3 . Application of DESs to the lignocellulosic ma- trix - pulp does not resulted in a significant decrease of lignin content. Deep eutectic solvent (urea-acet- amide-glycerol) in molar ratio 1 : 2 : 3 removed 5,4 % and DES (malic acid-proline-lactic acid) in molar ratio 1 : 2 : 4 removed 1.4 % lignin from unbleached pulp. The solubility of cellulose in ternary deep eutectic solvents was zero. Results show that prepared ternary deep eutectic sol- vents are able to delignify the pulp. However, the effi- ciency of delignification is not comparable to that of oxygen delignification. At the same time, used deep eutectic solvents do not cause dissolution of cellulose in pulp fibers. Key words: Ternary deep eutectic solvents, Pulp, Delig- nification. 1. Introduction Current technological processes used to produce fi- brous materials from lignocellulosic raw materials require high chemical and energy consumption and cause significant environmental pollution. Oxygen delignification is often used for delignification of kraft pulp before bleaching to reduce the amount of chlo- rinated organic compounds in the bleach plant efflu- ent (Springer and McSweeny, [1]). Modifying the con- ventional oxygen delignification, which would reduce the residual lignin content by more than 50 %, would reduce the consumption of bleaching chemicals and improve the environmental aspects of the process (Al- lison and McGrouther, [2]). The use of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) offers an interesting ”green” alterna- tive to conventional technologies in the pulp industry (Choi et al., [3]). These solvents can be used to dissolve lignocellulosic biomass or individual components of DELIGNIFICATION OF PULP WITH TWO TERNARY DEEP EUTECTIC SOLVENTS: UREA-ACETAMIDE-GLYCEROL AND MALIC ACID-PROLINE-LACTIC ACID
  • 3. Journal of Hygienic Engineering and Design 77 biomass such as lignin (Francisco et al., [4]). The DESs have promising potential application in the treatment of biomass (Jablonsky et al., [5], Kumar et al., [6], Pro- centese et al., [7], Skulcova et al., [8]), pulp (Jablonsky et al., [9], Skulcova et al., [10]), paper, and recycling in- dustries. DESs have attractive physicochemical prop- erties such as: non-flammability, low vapor pressure, biocompatibility, biodegradability and wide liquid range. Before considering a new solvent for incorpo- ration into an industrial application, a fundamental understanding must be established for the chemical and physical properties of the solvent (Huddleston et al., [11]). Deep eutectic solvents open the way to pulp production at low temperatures and atmospheric pressures. Ternary deep eutectic solvents (TDESs) have been reported in order to increase the DESs range to- ward their applications (Chemat et al., [12]). One hot topic where TDESs were applied at was CO2 capturing. Sze et al., [13], reported the use of three carbon dioxide capturing materials that formed TDESs mixtures with choline chloride and glycerol. On the other hand, Dai et al., [14], synthesized TDESs using natural materials, which were plant’s primary metabolites materials. Liu et al., [15], synthesized and characterized the proper- ties of several novel TDESs containing zinc halides that can be used both as catalyst and solvent in various catalytic reactions. These contribution studies made a clear evidence that the DESs have great flexibility in forms, synthesis and applications. Research work on preparation and characterization of two ternary deep eutectic solvents is presented in this report.The effects of these eutectic solvents on biomass components such as lignin and cellulose were inves- tigated. Density and viscosity are one of the most im- portant physical properties of solvents. The accessibility of the lignocellulose material for delignification by DES depends on several factors.The essential factors limiting the access of the fibers are macro and microstructure of the fibers (Wojcak and Pekarovicova, [16]). In the case of solid matrix samples, DESs applications have been limit- ed, especially due to their viscosity. 2. Materials and Methods 2.1 Preparation and characterization of TDESs Proline, acetamide, DL-malic acid (≥ 99% mass frac- tion purity) and urea (99.5% mass fraction purity) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Lactic acid (90% solu- tion) was purchased from VWR Chemicals and glycerol (≥ 99% mass fraction purity) was purchased from Cen- tralchem s. r. o. Ternary deep eutectic solvents were prepared by the heating method. Mixtures of the cor- responding reagents with required molar ratio were heated and stirred in a water bath at the appropriate temperature (70 - 90 0 C). A homogeneous liquid was obtained and then allowed to be cooled to room tem- perature. Physicochemical properties of deep eutectic solvents were measured in different temperature rang- es. The dynamic viscosity measurement was measured in a rotating viscometer (Brookfield DV 2+) in the tem- perature range 30 - 90 0 C. Densities were determined with a pycnometer in the range 25 - 75 0 C. 2.2 Evaluation of solubility of cellulose in TDES ­reagent Solubility tests of cellulose were performed using pure cellulose (Whatman paper) in the DESs reagents. In 50 mL glass bottles, 0.5 g of the respective component was added separately into 20 mL of DES reagent and then incubated at 60 0 C for 2 h. The samples were fil- tered through glass fiber filters and dried at 105 0 C to constant weight. The weight of dried residual solid components was calculated to evaluate the % solubil- ity in the DES reagent. Table 1 shows prepared DESs and some of their properties. 2.3 Pulp characterization The hardwood kraft pulp was obtained from MONDI SCP, Ružomberok, Slovakia. Characterization of chem- ical properties of pulp before and after DES delig- nification are listed in Table 3 and Table 4. The Kappa number of the pulp was used to estimate the lignin content and was determined according to Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI) standard method T-236. The viscosity of the pulp was used to estimate the intrinsic viscosity or degree of po- lymerization (DP) of the cellulose within the pulp fibre. The measurements were determined by dissolving the pulp in cupriethylene diamine solution, and then mea- suring the elution times in a capillary viscometer at constant temperature. In order to estimate the amount of scissions, the degree of polymerization (DP) of the carbohydrates was calculated from intrinsic viscosity using Mark-Houwink equation, where ([η]) is the intrin- sic viscosity (mL/g) of pulp (Rydholm, [17]). The selectivity of delignification (Slcκ , %) expressed as Table 1.

The efficiency of delignification (Efcκ ) expressed as a decrease in Kappa number on the unit change of the initial Kappa number of pulp was calculated from Eq. 3: (3) 2.4Evaluationofdeepeutecticdelignificationofpulp Deep eutectic solvents were applied on unbleached beech pulp to follow the efficiency of the mixture in the process of removing lignin residues after kraft de- lignification. The treatment was carried out in a water bath with continuous stirring, at preset temperature of 60 0 C and atmospheric pressure for 2 hours. Residual lignin content (Kappa number) and viscosity of pulp after DESs delignification were determined using stan- dard TAPPI methods. The efficiency of the solvents was analyzed through the selectivity, calculated from vis- cosity and Kappa number. 3. Results and Discussion Viscosity is one of the most important properties of any solvent.Viscosity of most DESs at ambient conditions is very large, being related to van derWaals forces, hydro- gen bonding, and electrostatic interactions, as well as to the nature of individual components and their mo- lar ratio, water content, and temperature (García et al., [18]). Most DESs have a viscosity higher than 100 mPa.s at room temperature. However, DESs with low viscosity are desirable for their applications as green solvents. Viscosities of examined TDESs are decreasing with temperature as show Figure 1. Each TDESs attained its lowest viscosity at the highest tested temperature of 95 0 C. Increased kinetic energy through heating may weaken the attractive forces between molecules and thus may cause a decrease in viscosity. The obtained data shows that the TDESs composed of urea-acet- amide-glycerol have lower viscosity values than the TDES malic acid-proline-lactic acid. The density of DESs varies greatly from temperature and individual components. It has been shown that the density decreases linearly with increasing tem- perature. This phenomenon is due to vibration of the anions and cations during heating in the eutectic mix- ture. Vibrations may cause a molecular alteration in DESs due to weak interactions between the ions. As a result, the density of the fluid is reduced. The experimental density results for the samples of TDESs as a function of temperature are plotted in Fig- ure 2. The density of TDES urea-acetamide-glycerol de- creased with a temperature from 1220 to 1199 kg/m3 and density of malic acid-proline-lactic acid decreased from 1292 to 1220 kg/m3 . The obtained data shows that the TDES composed of urea, acetamide and glyc- erol have lower density values than the TDES contain- ing malic acid, proline and lactic acid. The density de- creases linearly with temperature for DESs in the whole studied temperature range, and a linear equation was used to express the correlation with the temperature: ρ = a + bxT (4) Where: ρ corresponds to density in kg m−3 ; T is the temperature in K; a, and b are the fitting parameters. The a and b values derived from equation 4 for the studied TDESs are presented in Table 2. Figure 1. Effect of temperature on the viscosity of TDESs in range 303.15 - 363.15 K Figure 2.

  • 5. Journal of Hygienic Engineering and Design 79 Characterization and effect on pulp properties after TDESs delignification are listed in Table 3. Unbleached pulp with initial Kappa number 14 was used. The Kap- pa number indicates the residual lignin content or bleachability of pulp. The Kappa number determina- tion was used to estimate the lignin content of pulp by measuring the pulp oxidation capacity. TDES (malic acid-proline-lactic acid) caused a decrease of kappa number representing the efficiency of 1.4%. The effi- ciency ofTDES (urea-acetamide-glycerol) in molar ratio 1 : 2 : 3 has reached value 5.4%. However, the efficiency of delignification is not comparable to that of oxygen delignification. In work Majova et al., [19], a series of binary deep eu- tectic solvents were used for delignification of pulps with different initial kappa numbers. The efficiency of delignification in the range of 14 to 22% for the pulp with initial Kappa of 14.3 was achieved. From the viewpoint of pulp degradation, the original degree of polymerization (1226) decreased to 1150 units after TDES (urea-acetamide-glycerol), which rep- resented a 6.2% decrease. TDES malic acid-proline-lac- tic acid caused a higher (10%) decrease of DP. Table 3.

Ding and Wang, [22], introduced continuous scalar variable δ, and named it“percentage retention of DP”: δ = DPt /DP0 (5) Where: DP0 denotes the initial degree of polymerization and DPt the real degree of polymerization, decreased as a result of deterioration due to degradation of cellulose. At the beginning of processing-related degradation (t = 0), δ =1, during degradation its value decreases, and δ = 0 which means total damage of the sample. Degradation variable of cellulose can then be defined in terms of the percentage DP loss as: ωDP = 1 - δ = 1 - DPt /DP0 (6) Where: ωDP is the accumulated DP loss of cellulose. The extent of degradation can be, thus, expressed also using the above relation. At the beginning ωDP = 0, i.e. an average DP is preserved. ωDP = 1 rep- resents a (theoretical) total damage of the sample ­depending on ­specific experimental conditions. It is generally accepted that when DP has decreased to an average DP of about 200, the paper will lose all its mechanical strength; if DP0 = 1000, then δ = 0.2, and the accumulated degradation critical value ωDPcr = 0.8. When comparing the degradation of cellulose, it is ob- vious that the effect of DESs differs. The degradation of cellulose expressed as DP loss is 0.06 after treatment with urea-acetamide-glycerol and 0.10 with use of ma- lic acid-proline-lactic acid. Table 4.

Conclusions - The excellent properties of deep eutectic solvents highlight their advantages as promising not expensive green solvents for the delignification of pulp and re- placement of oxygen delignification.The viscosity, and density were investigated for two ternary deep eutec- tic solvent mixtures (urea-acetamide-glycerol and ma- lic acid-proline-lactic acid). - The results have indicated different properties for both mixtures. Results show that prepared ternary deep eutectic solvents are able to delignify the pulp. However, the efficiency of delignification is not com- parable to that of oxygen delignification. At the same time, they do not cause significant dissolution of cellu- lose in pulp fibers. 5. References [1] Springer E. L., and McSweeny J. D. (1993).
