Abstract
This study presents atmospheric‐pressure plasma as a novel catalyst‐free pretreatment method for raw wheat straw (RWS) biomass. The work explores the effects of processing parameters, such as milled particle size, moisture content of RWS, and plasma generations, on pretreatment efficiency. To understand the mechanisms behind the enhanced pretreatment efficiency, various analysis techniques were used to analyze the physical and chemical properties of RWS before and after pretreatment. The analysis reveals that plasma pretreatment significantly damages the surface smoothness of RWS and enhances the decomposition of lignocellulosic structures. These effects are primarily attributed to the reactive species generated by the pulsed discharge, rather than the accompanying UV radiation, acidification, or heating actions during plasma pretreatment.
