Cellulosic ethanol has been an attractive biofuel for over a century. Despite the large scientific interest, first step of treating cellulose before enzymatic hydrolysis is still inadequate, so community seeks innovative solutions. Among them, plasma treatment raw represents interesting approach. The literature on approaches to treat with gaseous surveyed, and results reported by different authors are interpreted. Reactive particles like ions, electrons, metastables, radicals interact chemically surface but do not cause significant depolymerization bulk cellulose. Such from bond scission in energetic species capable penetrating deep into photons range vacuum ultraviolet radiation (photon energy above threshold scission) most suitable formation water-soluble fragments, which further hydrolysis.
