Abstract
Water under supercritical conditions displays unique characteristics because of which it has emerged as an interesting solvent in recent years. It is abundantly available in nature and does not affect the environment, making it a green solvent. Owing to its low cost, nontoxic, and nonflammable nature, it has a great prospective in various green organic synthesis. However, due to its corrosive nature and extreme conditions, it is not utilized to its full potential. This chapter highlights some important commercial applications of supercritical water such as the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to solid and liquid fuel, waste destruction, organic synthesis, and powder metallurgy.
