Cellulose's recalcitrance to dissolve in common solvents is a major obstacle for the utilization of lignocellulose biomass into fuels and chemicals. As a promising answer to this challenge, subcritical and supercritical water have been proposed as a green medium for cellulose hydrolysis. Prior reports also indicate that the solubility of cellulose substantially increases near the critical point of water. This thesis investigated whether subcritical or supercritical water can dissolve cellulose as a polymer and whether the dissolved polymers can be recovered without extensive degradation. Two reactor systems were used to treat microcrystalline cellulose at 245-380 °C with treatment times between 0.2 and 6.0 s. Solid cellulose residue samples...
