Sumario:The one-pot hydrolysis-dehydration of activated microcrystalline cellulose was studied in pure hydrothermal water at 453 K over ZrO<sub>2</sub> catalysts produced by thermodegradation, microwave treatment, mechanical activation, and sol–gel methods and spent without any co-catalyst. ZrO<sub>2</sub> prepared by microwave treatment was more active compared to ones derived by other methods. The catalyst calcination temperature also impacted reactivity. The cellulose conversion increased simultaneously with acidity and S<sub>BET</sub>, which in turn were set by the preparation method and calcination temperature. Phase composition did not affect the activity. Yields of glucose and 5-HMF reaching 18 and 15%, respectively, were over the most promising ZrO<sub>2</sub> prepared by microwave treatment at 593 K. To our knowledge, this ZrO<sub>2</sub> sample provided the highest activity in terms of TOF values (15.1 mmol g<sup>−1</sup> h<sup>−1</sup>) compared to the pure ZrO<sub>2</sub> systems reported elsewhere. High stability of ZrO<sub>2</sub> derived by microwave irradiation was shown in five reaction runs.
