N2 - The conversion of cellulose under the hydrothermal condition was studied in an autoclave reactor. The reaction factors, such as oxygen supply and alkaline concentration was clearly investigated. A highest formic acid yield of about 27% was obtained. And also, other organic acid production was greatly produced. Besides formic acid, glycolic acid, acetic acid and lactic acid were also produced in alkaline oxidation of cellulose, with a total organic acid of up to 50%. It shows great potential for organic acid production from hydrothermal oxidation of cellulose.
