Environmental Significance of Fuel - Derived Organic Compounds

چکیده
Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are emitted during the combustion process. They originate from the organic components of fossil fuels, or are formed during the combustion process. For example, the addition of smaller aliphatic compounds, cyclization, and transformation into aromatic hydrocarbons leads to polycyclic aromatic compound (PAH) formation. Some PAHs are known to be carcinogenic. The degree of emissions of VOC in the combustion process depends on its conditions.

Chemical composition of gas-phase organic carbon emissions from motor vehicles and implications for ozone production.
Motor vehicles are major sources of gas-phase organic carbon, which includes volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other compounds with lower vapor pressures. These emissions react in the atmosphere, leading to the formation of ozone and secondary organic aerosol (SOA). With more chemical detail than previous studies, we report emission factors for over 230 compounds from gasoline and diesel ve...
متن کاملEnvironmental air pollution.
The effects of air pollution on health have been recognized for many hundreds of years. In London, during December 1952, a particularly bad smog, which involved extreme elevations of both SO 2 and black smoke, was associated with more than 1,000 extra deaths during a 5-d period (1). The majority of the pollution responsible for smogs is derived from the domestic and industrial burning of fossil...
متن کاملWater interaction with laboratory-simulated fossil fuel combustion particles.
To clarify the impact of fossil fuel combustion particles' composition on their capacity to take up water, we apply a laboratory approach in which the method of deposition of compounds, identified in the particulate coverage of diesel and aircraft engine soot particles, is developed. It is found that near-monolayer organic/inorganic coverage of the soot particles may be represented by three gro...

The characteristics of organic sludge/sawdust derived fuel.
A fundamental study of the characteristics of a sludge refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and the combustion behaviors were done. The test data demonstrate good results for the development of energy recovery technology of organic sludge or waste. The ash deposit formation propensity has been based on pretreatment, temperature and the ratio of organic sludge to sawdust. The usage of organic sludge and wa...
