This review examines the chemical properties of particulate matter (PM) in diesel vehicle
exhaust at a time when emission regulations, diesel technology development, and particle …

Properties of particles emitted from diesel engines and the consequences of these
properties for sampling and measuring the particles are reviewed. The influence of …

Internal combustion engines are among the main sources of soot particles, especially when
non-homogeneous and high fuel-air ratio conditions are achieved in the combustion …

Small‐scale heterogeneity of organic carbon (C) forms in soils is poorly quantified since
appropriate analytical techniques were not available up to now. Specifically, tools for the …

In Asian developing countries diesel vehicles contribute significantly to urban air pollution.
The emission factors (EF) and exhaust gas composition of these vehicles may be different …

In this work, fuel formulation exerted a strong influence on the properties of diesel
particulates leading to differences in oxidation rate. These differences were especially …

Soot from gasoline turbocharged direct injection (GTDI) engines and diesel engines, from
exhaust and extracted from oil, were characterized by XRF, XPS, Raman spectroscopy …

Diesel soot was investigated with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and near edge
X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS). The EELS spectra were obtained in …

The effects of a catalytic coating on the oxidation of captured soot over diesel particulate
filters (DPF) is debated in the literature, since a catalyzed filter wall appears to lack …

The morphology, microstructure, and composition of individual carbonaceous particles
generated during combustion of coal, residual oil, and diesel fuel were investigated by …
