Abstract
Supercritical water (SCW) has been investigated for about 20years for chemical reactions and processes. Water above its critical point (Tc=374°C, pc=22.1MPa, ρc=0.322g/cm3) has remarkable tunable properties and has been at the origin of a number of major developments especially due to its environmental innocuousness. SCW has been extensively used in the last 15years to perform hydrolysis reactions. We propose to discuss in this book chapter the main fields of the application of the SCW hydrolysis reactions: (1) biomass liquefaction toward biofuels and platform molecules and (2) material recycling.
