Figure 2. The changes in % yields of total reducing sugar (TRS) produced during the hydrolysis of Sigmacell cellulose (DP ~ 450) in aqueous solutions of sulfonic acid group functionalized Brönsted acidic ionic liquid catalysts 1-8 at different temperatures. All acid solutions are 0.0321 mol H+/L, reaction time: 3.0 h, 0.030 g of Sigmacell cellulose in 2.00 mL of aq. acid was used in all experiments. Averages of duplicate experiments
