This review presents a glossary and review of terminology used to describe the chemical
and physical processes involved in soot formation and evolution and is intended to aid in …

Renewable fuels produced from vegetable oils are an attractive alternative to fossil-based
fuel. Different type of fuels can be derived from these triglycerides. One of them is biodiesel …

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 review will be concentrated on the application of hydrotreated vegetable oils (HVO)
produced from the triglycerides based biomass such as vegetable oil, animal fat, waste …

Soot particle (black carbon) morphology is of dual interest, both from a health perspective
and due to the influence of soot on the global climate. In this study, the mass-mobility …

Hydrotreating catalysis is becoming a promising alternative to transesterification for the
production of biofuels derived from vegetable oils. They have potential advantages with …

In urban environments, airborne particles are continuously emitted, followed by atmospheric
aging. Also, particles emitted elsewhere, transported by winds, contribute to the urban …

Oxidation kinetics and fringe analysis studies of three “model” carbons, ranging from
fullerenic to onion-like nanostructures and a reference diesel soot were performed in a …

Particulate matter (PM) emitted from compression ignition (CI) engines (diesel engines) has
a detrimental effect on human health and the environment. The physical and chemical …

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