Hydrothermal processing, a thermochemical approach, is an excellent method of converting
energy-rich biomass into useful products. This approach offers the advantage of handling …

With the awareness of the need for optimal and sustainable use of natural resources,
hydrothermal treatment of biomass and biomass waste for energy and resource recovery …

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) and supercritical water gasification (SCWG), two effective
thermochemical approaches converting biomass into biofuels, have received increasing …

Renewable biomass sources are organic materials, in which solar energy is stored in bio-
chemical bonds, and which commonly contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen …

Hydrothermal technologies are broadly defined as chemical and physical transformations in
high-temperature (200–600° C), high-pressure (5–40 MPa) liquid or supercritical water. This …

This review presents an overview of the initial targeted chemical processing stages for
conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to platform molecules that serve as intermediates for …

Subcritical water, that is, water above the boiling and below critical point, is a unique and
sustainable reaction medium. Based on its solvent properties, in combination with the often …

As a typical biomass-derived platform compound, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) can be
used to synthesize numerous high-quality fuels and high-value chemicals, so it has captured …

This article reviews the work relating to the supercritical water gasifi cation of biomass with a
focus on hydrogen production. The high hydrogen yield predicted by thermodynamic …

Hydrothermal gasification of biomass is an alternative method of producing hydrogen-rich
syngas. Modeling and optimization of hydrothermal processes are important to evaluate the …
