Soot may be formed when carbonaceous fuels are burned under local reducing conditions.
Its subsequent oxidation is of great significance for pollution control in industrial flames, auto …

During the last few decades, concerns have grown on the negative effects that diesel
particulate matter has on health. Because of this, particulate emissions were subjected to …

Interest in structured catalysts is steadily increasing due to the already proven, as well as
potential, advantages of these catalysts. Updating the comprehensive coverage of the first …

The diesel engines are energy efficient, but their particulate (soot) emissions are
responsible of severe environmental and health problems. This review provides a survey on …

The present work has demonstrated the reasons why CeO2 becomes an active catalyst for
diesel particulate (soot) abatement, which attracts recent worldwide attention in the …

In this study the characterization and soot oxidation activity of Ag-based catalysts deposited
on alumina, ceria and zirconia have been investigated. The combustion of soot was shown …

Co3O4 nanoflower clusters were fabricated by a simple low-temperature hydrothermal
method. The properties of Co3O4 nanomaterials were comprehensively determined by …

A wide variety of hydrocarbon processes, catalytic or noncatalytic, involve the formation of
carbon deposits, either on catalysts or on reactor (or engine/exhaust) surfaces. Therefore …

Laboratory temperature programmed oxidation (TPO) is popular for diesel soot oxidation
catalyst screening. The method of depositing soot on the catalyst can be critical for the …

Diesel soot, a major contributor to PM emission, severely threatens human health and the
environment. Catalytic oxidation of trapped diesel soot is a feasible solution to alleviating …
