Soot is responsible for notoriously detrimental effects on human health, air quality, and
global and regional climate. Controlling soot emissions to the atmosphere will require …

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 …

This paper compared the soot reactivity and its primarily related factors including soot
structure, graphitization degree and surface functional groups, when using mineral diesel …

A detailed procedure for the quantitative analysis of aromatic and aliphatic hydrogen based
on infrared spectroscopy was set up and implemented on some carbon-based materials …

Soot oxidation kinetics is relevant for the exhaust pollutant reduction through processing in
abatement systems based on filtering and oxidation as diesel particulate filters. Soot …

Plasma methods can be considered as a novel and efficient way of tar disposal from process
gases. In this lab-scale study, a microwave plasma reactor has been developed and tested …

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 …

We performed a study of the evolution of soot composition and fine structure, ie, maturity
level, in an atmospheric ethylene-air diffusion flame. We used laser-induced incandescence …

This work is about the influence of the molecular structure of the fatty acid esters present in
two neat biodiesel fuels and their blend (50% by volume) on particulate matter emission …

This paper presents the chemical composition, oxidation reactivity and nanostructural
characteristics of the particulate matter (PM) produced by a diesel engine operating with …
