Diesel engine emissions are typically composed of several hundred chemical compounds,
partly present in the gas phase and partly in solid phase as particles, the so-called …

Soot formation is an inevitable consequence of the combustion of carbonaceous fuels in
environments rich in reducing agents. Efficient management of pollution in various contexts …

Engine-dynamometer bench tests were performed to evaluate the severity of engine
operation resulting in oil degradation, set limits for drain intervals and provide …

The lifetime and efficiency of diesel particulate filters (DPFs) strongly depend on the proper
and periodic cleaning and servicing. Unfortunately, in some cases, inappropriate methods …

Nonthermal plasma can achieve diesel particulate filter regeneration under much lower
temperatures (≤ 200° C), showing promise for potential applications. To investigate the …

Carbonaceous soot accumulated in crankcase oil is known to have an adverse effect on
diesel engine performance, durability, and fuel efficiency. The current study is focused on …

In this study, the wear mechanisms of a used, soot-containing oil drained from an engine test
are investigated. As reviewed at the start of this paper, many wear mechanisms have been …

The influence of an anatase-TiO2 support on the diesel soot oxidation catalytic activity of
manganese doped ceria is investigated. The soot conversion light-off temperature is …

2, 5-Dimethylfuran (2, 5-DMF) and 2-methylfuran (2-MF) are furan derivatives that are shown
to be able to reduce soot emissions from diesel engines. However, their capacity to form …

Diesel soot particles are of concern for both the environment and health. To catalytically
remove them, it is important to know their structure and composition. There is little described …
