• Extraction before rawmaterial analysis– To assess extractivescontent
– Extractives may disturbresults

PretreatmentSteam pretreatment • 2.5% SO2 (based on moisture content) • 210°C • 5 minutes

Yields of mono and oligosacharides after pretreatment
Sapwood 1.3 m Tree 5 (fast growth) • Highest glucose yield• Lowest mannose and xylose yields
Heartwood 1.3 m Tree 1 (slow growth) • Lowest glucose yield• Highest mannose and xylose yields
100% higher yield
60% higheryield
90% higher yield
![Page 17: Characterization of tree and wood fractions for ...web.abo.fi/fak/tkf/spk/costfp0901/Turku_2013/Johansson.pdf · Characterization of tree and wood fractions for biorefinery applications](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081605/5b7b3f257f8b9abf2d8dd2f1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Recovery of carbohydrates after pretreatment
Less sugars recovered from the faster grown tree‐> pretreatment acted more severely
Hemicellulose more easilyhydrolyzed than cellulose‐> lower recoveries of mannan and xylan compared to glucan
Heartwood has somewhat higher recoveries ofhemicellulose than other fractions

Yields of furans and acetic acid after pretreatment
The faster grown tree yielded morefurans and acetic acid from sapwood and heartwood fractions
Knotwood had similar yields for both trees
Heartwood had lower yields than otherfractions
![Page 20: Characterization of tree and wood fractions for ...web.abo.fi/fak/tkf/spk/costfp0901/Turku_2013/Johansson.pdf · Characterization of tree and wood fractions for biorefinery applications](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081605/5b7b3f257f8b9abf2d8dd2f1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Summary Pretreatment
• All hemicellulose solubilized at the conditions used – Glucan was recovered in fiber as well as in liquid fraction of the
pretreated slurry – Mannan and xylan only recovered in the liquid fraction
• The pretreatment acted harsher on the faster grown tree – Lower carbohydrate recoveries than the slow grown tree– Higher yields of furans from sapwood and heartwood
• knotwood had similar yields from the two trees– Lower WIS content than the slower grown tree
• Heartwood withstood the pretreatment better than other fractions – Higher recoveries of carbohydates – Lower yields of furans
