Biomass is one of the most redundant biorenewable resources available, with a long and well-established technological base. With the current crucial concern, the energy crisis, a numbers or Research and Development in developing the substitute materials of petroleum and other depleting natural fuel resources is in progress. A substantial research effort is underway that focused on degrading biomass into smaller constituents by using a variety of physical, chemical and biological processes. Ionic liquid can be considered as the best alternative in dissolution of biomass because of its advantageous properties and it can also be a medium for efficient dissolution of a variety of materials. By synthesizing various types of ionic !Liquids having different anion, the best ionic liquids for Sago Waste can be analyze and evaluate.
