The state of art for customizing the physicochemical behaviour of these new green solvents by a prudent selection of the constituents� nature and ratio through microwave irradiation is presented in this work. The impact of the following parameters, namely type of malic acid, molar ratio of malic acid to natural salt, water content and temperature of treatment are related to the solvation behaviour of LTTMs. An overview of the conditions for the highest efficiency in the delignification of empty fruit bunch (EFB) are described. © 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84914129362&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMM.625.741&partnerID=40&md5=99b5dc040207396340e9935a1309d912 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.625.741 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mechanics and Materials volume: 625 pagerange: 741-744 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038351818 issn: 16609336 citation: Loong, Y.C. and Yusup, S. and Uemura, Y.
