Virginia St., MS 0170, Reno, NV 89557, USA a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: The equilibrium moisture content (EMC) of raw lignocellulosic biomass, along with four samples sub- Received 21 August 2010 jected to thermal pretreatment, was measured at relative humidities ranging from 11% to 97% at a con- Received in revised form 5 January 2011 stant temperature of 30 C. Three samples were prepared by treatment in hot compressed water by a Accepted 6 January 2011 process known as wet torrefaction, at temperatures of 200, 230, and 260 C. An additional sample was Available online 14 January 2011 prepared by dry torrefaction at 300 C. Pretreated biomass shows EMC below that of raw biomass. This indicates that pretreated biomass, both dry and wet torrefied, is more hydrophobic than raw biomass. Keywords: The EMC results were correlated with a recent model that takes into account additional non-adsorption Hydrothermal pretreatment Torrefaction
