As the main pollutant emitted by automobile engines, soot particles have brought great harm
to the environment and human health. However, the soot formation process in automobile …

The oxidation rate of a soot sample is related to its nanostructure, that is, to the curvature
and relative orientations of its constituent molecular layers. Soot with curved or disorganized …

This paper investigates the physicochemical properties (ie nanostructure, degree of
graphitization, surface functionalities and carbon chemical state) of soot emitted from a …

The chemistry of soot particles has high affinity with the concentration and accessibility of
potential radical sites for the reactions regarding to soot growth and oxidation behaviors …

Great efforts have been made over the last few decades in understanding of the
mechanisms and phenomenology of soot formation and burnout in combustion systems. In …

The study on effects of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) on soot behavior is very important to
reduce soot emissions and control the low temperature combustion process in diesel …

The equivalence ratio φ and temperature T are well known to have a significant effect on the
quality of particulate formation, such as the soot volume fraction, particle diameter and …

Nowadays, the increasing consumption of conventional fuels has led to rising pollutant
emissions, among which soot has received much attention due to its harmful effects. In this …

Although much research has been done on soot formation in engines, the mechanisms
involved in the process are poorly understood and models of the process are overly …

The physio-chemical characteristics of soot particles are of importance with regard to
performance of diesel after-treatment systems. In this study, the soot particles generated in a …
