Changes in poplar (Populus trichocarpa) wood porous structure after liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment. The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of applying different hydrothermal pretreatment conditions on the porous structure of poplar wood. Porosity is recognised as an important factor considering efficiency of an enzymatic hydrolysis as a step of bioethanol production. Native poplar wood as well as solid fractions after pretreatment performed at different temperatures (160 °C, 175 °C and 190 °C) were analysed. Porous structure was examined with an inverse size-exclusion chromatography (ISEC) method. Results indicated a significant development of the porous structure of the biomass with increasing porosity along with the growing temperature of the LHW process. The temperature of 190 °C was chosen as the most promising condition of poplar wood LHW pretreatment in terms of the efficiency of the subsequent steps of bioethanol production. The obtained results were consistent with the previous experimental data procured during analysis of the LHW pretreated poplar wood and its subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis yield.
