Cellulose was dissolved in the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, and then regenerated from the solution by using different methods. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG)-Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the structure of the original and regenerated cellulose. Cellulose II or amorphous cellulose was obtained by pouring cellulose solution into de-ioned water or pouring de-ioned water into cellulose solution, respectively. The pyrolysis behavior of original and regenerated cellulose was tested in a fixed bed reactor. The pyrolysis of cellulose I gave high content of furfural and 1,4;3,6-dianhydro-alpha-d-glucopyranose in the liquid products, and cellulose II and amorphous cellulose gave high content of furfural and 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furancarboxyaldehyde, with 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furancarboxyaldehyde the highest for cellulose II and furfural the highest for amorphous cellulose. And the treatment of the cellulose samples favored the removal of oxygen in the form of CO2 in the pyrolysis.
