Most studies have focused on HBDs and their effects in processes involving DES. Is there a reason for such an inclination on the study of HBDs and not HBAs, especially in terms of biomass fractionation?
Dear Regan Ceaser, I think your statment is not correct, both Hydrogen bond donor (HBD) and acceptor (HBA) components are considered and have similar importance and role, but depending on the application in question. My Regards

Dear Abdelkader-Bouaziz thank you for your answer and I understand what you are saying. However, most research articles focus more on determining the most suitable HBDs and treatment conditions when it comes to biomass fractionation into its components while applying ChCl as the HBA. is this mainly due to the low relative cost of ChCl or are there other reasons for most fractionation processes sticking with the same HBA (ChCl)?
Dear Regan Ceaser, I think the role of ChCl is beyond the economic factor. The attached file deals with aspects related to its role. There are other papers which take its polarity and molecule size as being key answers. Please find one important paper investigating this topic. My Regards
