Kinetics of catalyzed and non-catalyzed oxidation of soot from a diesel engine

To comply with the new regulations on particulate matter, car manufacturers more and more commonly use diesel particulate filters (DPF). The working of these systems needs to periodically burn soot that has been accumulated during the loading of the DPF. This paper describes the kinetics of the non-catalytic and catalytic oxidation of real diesel soot with oxygen. From these experiments, mechanisms for catalyzed and non-catalyzed soot oxidation have been proposed.

Soot and other Products Formation from the Submerged Carbon Arc in Halogenated Solvents

A series of selected halomethanes were treated with the submerged carbon arc using graphite electrodes at 10A. CCl₄ and CHCl₃ produce abundant soot which is double in comparison to the soot produced by arcing CH₂Cl₂ and is one order of magnitude higher than the amount of soot produced by arcing hydrocarbons such as n-hexane or decalin and two orders of magnitudes higher in comparison to the amounts of soot produced by arcing alcohols. It was found a anticorrelation between the amount of polyynes present in the solution of the arced solvent and the amount of soot produced by arcing. In the case of CCl₄ and CHCl₃ no polyynes were detected by liquid chromatographic analysis (HPLC-DAD), while polyynes were detected in CH₂Cl₂ and are present in higher concentration in arced hydrocarbon solutions. The soot produced from halomethanes was analyzed by FT-IR spectroscopy in comparison to the soot produced by arcing hydrocarbons and alcohols. Furthermore, the soot from halomethanes was analyzed by HPLC-DAD after extraction with acetonitrile and found to contain a mixture of halogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Also CHClBr and CH₂I₂ were arced between graphite electrodes. The former compound produces free bromine and soot; bromine causes halogenation of the polyynes. In the case of the latter compound, free iodine is released from the arc and the amount of soot produced is comparable to that obtained by arcing CH₂Cl₂.     

Soot oxidation kinetics under pressurized conditions

The oxidation kinetics, under different pressures, of soot samples obtained from different liquid fuels and two standards (a commercial black carbon sample and a reference diesel soot) was studied. Soot samples were generated in a flat-flame, premixed burner under heavily-sooting conditions and captured on a water-cooled stabilization plate located above the burner surface. The collected soot was oxidized using a high-pressure thermogravimetric analyzer (HTGA). TGA operation was optimized to reduce mass transfer effects by adjusting the oxidizer flow rate and initial sample mass. Further corrections for mass transfer were accomplished by computing the effectiveness factors for intraparticle, interparticle, and external mass transfer. Two pressures were evaluated (1 and 10 atm) and O₂ concentration was varied between 10 and 21%.     

Soot formation in high pressure laminar diffusion flames

The details of the chemical and physical mechanisms of the soot formation process in combustion remain uncertain due to the highly complex nature of hydrocarbon flames, and only a few principles are firmly established mostly for atmospheric conditions. In spite of the fact that most combustion devices used for transportation operate at very high pressures (e.g., aircraft gas turbines up to 40 atm, diesel engines exceeding 100 atm), our understanding of soot formation at these pressures is not at a desirable level, and there is a fundamental lack of experimental data and complementary predictive models. The focus of this review is to assess the experimental results available from laminar co-flow diffusion flames burning at elevated pressures. First, a brief review of soot formation mechanisms in diffusion flames is presented. This is followed by an assessment of soot diagnostics techniques, both intrusive and non-intrusive, most commonly used in soot experiments including the laser induced incandescence. Then the experimental results of soot measurements done at elevated pressures in diffusion flames are reviewed and critically assessed. Soot studies in shock tubes and in premixed flames are not covered. Smoke point fuel mass flow rate is revisited, and shortcomings in recent measurements are pointed. The basic requirements for tractable and comparable measurements as a function of pressure are summarized. Most recent studies at high pressures with aliphatic gaseous fuels show that the soot yield displays a unified behaviour with reduced pressure. The maximum soot yield seems to reach a plateau asymptotically as the pressure exceeds the critical pressure of the fuel. Lack of experimental data on the sensitivity of soot morphology to pressure is emphasized. A short summary of efforts in the literature on the numerical simulation of soot formation in diffusion flames at high pressures is the last section of the paper.
