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

The effects of alkali and alkaline earth metals (AAEM) on the component and distribution of
products, gasification reactivity, catalytic mechanism and char-ash/slag transition during …

Many practical soot-emitting combustion systems such as diesel and jet engines rely on
diffusion flames for efficient and reliable operation. Efforts to mitigate soot emissions from …

Heavy fuel oil (HFO) particulate matter (PM) emitted by marine engines is known to contain
toxic heavy metals, including vanadium (V) and nickel (Ni). The toxicity of such metals will …

This work investigated the ignition and combustion process of single micron-sized iron
particles in the hot gas flow of burned methane-oxygen-nitrogen mixture. The particle …

Carbon black is still produced from fossil fuels such as feedstock and fuel. This paper
discusses the potential and challenges of carbon black manufacturing from 100 …

Tar and soot in product gas have been a major technical challenge toward the large-scale
industrial installation of biomass gasification. This study aims at demonstrating that the …

Laser-induced incandescence (LII) measurements were conducted to explore the ability of
LII to detect small soot particles of less than 10 nm in two sooting flat premixed flames of n …

To evaluate the effect of alkali and alkaline earth metals (AAEMs) species on the catalytic
gasification of large particle-size biomass, a vertical fixed-bed reactor is conducted for …

Renewable-based carbon black was produced using pyrolysis oil derived from pine and
spruce stem wood as feedstock in a continuous, high-temperature spray process. The …
