Up to 78.6% of levoglucosan was obtainable from cellulose by combining non-thermal plasma pretreatment at room temperature and subsequent pyrolysis at 350–450 °C. The yield already reached 77.6% when the pretreated cellulose was pyrolyzed at 375 °C.

AbstractThis paper critically reviews the non-thermal plasma techniques for reduction of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in air streams. The currently used technologies fall into two categories: those based on nonthermal plasma generated from various forms of corona discharge and those exploiting high energy electron beams. Relative advantages and disadvantages of non-thermal plasma and conventional techniques are discussed.

Cereals, an important food for humans and animals, may carry microbial contamination undesirable to the consumer or to the next generation of plants. Currently, non-thermal plasma (NTP) is often considered a new and safe microbicidal agent without or with very low adverse side effects. NTP is a partially or fully ionized gas at room temperature, typically generated by various electric discharges and rich in reactive particles. This review summarizes the effects of NTP on various types of cereals and products. NTP has undisputed beneficial effects with high potential for future practical use in decontamination and disinfection.
