The water separates into H+ and OH- ions; however these ionic products are reversible and tend
to be in equilibrium instantly because of the high reactivity. The reaction mechanism of biomass
must be favored by ionic reactions because of the increased solubility in sub and supercritical
water. The ionic product of water reacts with hydrocarbons chain and dissociates the chain, as a
result hydrolysis reactions occurs. Furthermore there is also a possibility of condensation and
cleavage reactions too
