Application of liquid hot water pretreatment in wood biorefining processing

Wood can be processed into various products or semi-products that can cover a wide range of applications. As a natural reservoir of organic matter, wood is also an important raw material for the production of chemicals and fuels. The limited reserves of fossil resources, environmental pollution and climate change make it necessary to obtain energy and chemicals from renewable raw materials. In this context, there is a growing demand for wood as a renewable and available raw material, which also emphasizes the importance of its optimal use. Namely, the end products made from wood often contain ingredients that do not significantly affect the quality of these products, or may even have negative effects. In addition, degradation and permanent loss of valuable wood components can occur during the chemical processing. The introduction of hot water pretreatment in wood processing can be a way to biorefining wood and a solution for a more rational use of its ingredients. In this way, some valuable products such as hemicelluloses, saccharides or extractives (e.g. tannins) and other compounds can be extracted from the wood before the main process. The type and amount of products separated depend on a number of factors such as the wood species and the pretreatment conditions (temperature, pressure and duration of the process). At the same time, changes in the chemical composition can improve some properties of the wood after pretreatment or facilitate its further processing. This paper shows the influence of hot water pretreatment on some properties of wood, such as dimensional stability and heating value. The possibilities of using water-treated wood for the production of wood products with improved properties are also shown.
