Critical fluid technology
Biomass degradation
Heating water above its boiling point under
enough pressure to maintain its liquid state
causes some physicochemical changes that
are useful in reducing the rate problems as
well as increasing the solubility of stable
organics in water
When electrolysis is carried out in the subcritical water reaction zone around anode, H2O
vapor molecules are ionized or activated. As a
result, ions, free OH● radicals and sometimes
H atoms are generated. In addition, in the
liquid phase reaction zone, several liquid H2O
molecules are broken into H2, H2O2, and O2.

Electrolysis in subcritical water
Conversion of organic
contaminants into
value-added chemicals
Wastewater treatment
Effective utilization of biomass by using hot-compressed water (sub-critical water) is complex, involving an
uncountable number of organic compounds. Our research is mainly focused on production of value-added
chemicals from cellulose as a model compound of biomass in hot-compressed water without using any organic,
toxic solvents. For hydrothermal electrolysis experiments, degradation of cellulose was investigated by applying
constant direct current through the electrodes in a specially designed batch reactor.
