           title = {Effect of ionic liquid on thermo-physical properties of bamboo biomass},
        abstract = {In this work, EmimGly ionic liquid was used for the pretreatment of bamboo biomass followed by regeneration of cellulose-rich material. Thermal degradation study of untreated bamboo and cellulose-rich material was carried out under dynamic condition using thermogravimetric analysis. Free kinetics models of Kissinger, Ozawa, Flynn{\^a}??Wall{\^a}??Ozawa, and Kissinger{\^a}??Akahira{\^a}??Sunose were used to determine the kinetic parameters of thermal degradation process. The pattern of activation energy (Ea) values with respect to \% conversion values was noted different for the aforementioned models. The Ea calculated using the Kissinger method were 184 and 156{\^A} kJ{\^A} mol{\^a}??1, and Ozawa method were 185 and 157{\^A} kJ{\^A} mol{\^a}??1 of untreated and treated sample of bamboo, respectively, while the values of Ea calculated by Flynn{\^a}??Wall{\^a}??Ozawa and Kissinger{\^a}??Akahira{\^a}??Sunose were 71.7{\^a}??203.4{\^A} kJ{\^A} mol{\^a}??1 and 281.7{\^a}??230.7{\^A} kJ{\^A} mol{\^a}??1 for untreated and treated sample of bamboo, respectively. Calorific and CHNS values of both untreated and regenerated cellulose-rich material were measured by bomb calorimeter and elemental analyzer (CHNS), respectively. Both the calorific value and carbon content of the regenerated cellulose-rich material (15.62{\^A} J/kg, 37.86{\^A} \%, respectively) were found to be less than those of untreated bamboo (17.40{\^A} J/kg and 43.14{\^A} \%, respectively). The bamboo and regenerated cellulose-rich material were investigated by X-ray diffraction and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, and changes in the cellulose crystalline structure were correlated with thermal degradation behavior and kinetics parameters. {\^A}{\copyright} 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.},
