Abstract
This work aims to develop a new ionic liquid, used as an aprotic green ä solvent, to dissolve kraft lignin from black liquor. The kraft lignin was extracted through precipitation with carbon dioxide at atmospheric pressure. 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene-based ionic liquids were obtained by quaternization of the nitrogen atom with a hydrogen atom or an alkyl chain. The yields of the synthesis of the ionic liquids varied between 76 and 80%. Dissolving experiments were carried out using the lignin isolated from the black liquor of a kraft process. Up to 20% (w/w) of the lignin can be dissolved in butyl-1,8 diazabicyclo[5.4.0] undec-7-enium chloride ([DBUC4]+Cl-]), hexyl-1,8 diazabicyclo[5.4.0] undec-7-enium chloride [DBUC6]+[Cl-], and octyl-1,8 diazabicyclo[5.4.0] undec-7-enium chloride [DBUC8]+[Cl-]. The time it takes to dissolve the lignin in these three liquids shows that its solubility is influenced mostly by the nature of the cations. The lignin solubility was reduced in relation to the increased length of the grafted carbon chain. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed these liquids can be used as lignin solvents from room temperature up to 300 °C (onset of degradation). Steric exclusion chromatography showed a slight decrease (6%) in the molecular weight of the lignin dissolved in these ionic liquids.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
