Generally, the dissolution of cellulose in ILs via a conventional heating system requires high temperature and long pretreatment time. This article investigates the effect of pressure on the dissolution of cellulose in IL emimOAc (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate). The effects of dissolution temperature and dissolution pressure on cellulose dissolution time were investigated using High Pressure Solubility Measurement System (HPSMS). © 2015 Elsevier B.V.
