The route by which gas-phase molecules in hydrocarbon flames form condensed-phase
carbonaceous nanoparticles (incipient soot) is reviewed. These products of incomplete …

Aromatic hydrocarbons are important components of petroleum-based transportation fuels,
biomass, coal, and solid waste, etc. The reaction kinetics of aromatic hydrocarbons largely …

The mechanism of carbon particulate (soot) inception has been a subject of numerous
studies and debates. The article begins with a critical review of prior proposals, proceeds to …

Soot emitted from incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels contributes to global
warming and causes human disease. The mechanism by which soot nanoparticles form …

Emission factors and inventories of black carbon (BC) aerosols are crucial for estimating
their adverse atmospheric effect. However, it is imperative to separate BC emissions into …

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 study of soot has long been motivated by its adverse impacts on health and the
environment. However, this combustion knowledge is also relevant to the production of …

Oxygenated fuels have been widely used in combustion engines to tailor fuel properties,
