    Abstract:
    In order to determine eco-friendly pretreatment method, the combination of different pretreatment reagents such as: CaO, ammonia solution (AS), liquid fraction of digestate (LFD), CaO-AS and CaO-LFD were used in this study. The features of physico-chemical structures and anaerobic digestion (AD) performance of rice straw were investigated using different combined biological and chemical pretreatment methods. The results showed that CaO-LFD bio-chemical pretreatment achieved the best effect among different pretreatment conditions. The removal rate of lignocellulosic components from CaO-LFD pretreated rice straw was 20.73% higher than that of the control sample. The ether and ester bonds between lignin and hemicellulose were ruptured during pretreatment. Moreover, the methane yield from CaO-LFD pretreated rice straw was 274.65 mL gVS-1, which was 57.56% more than the control. Compared with the untreated rice straw, T80 decreased by 42.86%. CaO-LFD combined pretreatment has advantages as both biological and chemical pretreatment, which complement each other to improve the degradation of the rice straw. Meantime, AD performance was improved and excellent economic viability was achieved. Therefore, this study provides sustainable insight for exploring efficient pretreatment strategy to stabilize and enhance AD performance for further application.
