Wood is a complicated and uneven substance. The capacity of the various components to come into contact with the specified solvent (e.g., acetone) or blend determines its overall solubility. The solubility of wood in a given solvent at the conditions mentioned is represented by the components extracted from wood with that solvent. Some wood chemicals are soluble in water and organic solvents, however conventional solvents cannot dissolve the integral component of the cellular structure at room temperature. Due to temperature, time, and catalytic effects, high severities are required for improved solubility/liquefaction.

Will saw dust dissolve in water?

Most people think of something being soluble if it will dissolve in water. Sawdust doesn't dissolve in water. In general the cellulose and other structures that compose sawdust are not particularly soluble until they are broken down chemically - which is not really dissolving. Once they have been broken down, the resulting products can be dissolved - but at that point you aren't really dissolving sawdust anymore, you are dissolving the products of the chemical reactions that have broken down the sawdust.
