Real-time, Size-resolved, Quantitative Measurements of Diesel Exhaust Particles Semi-volatile Chemical Composition by Means of Aerosol Mass Spectrometer

چکیده
Atmospheric aerosols and particulate matter from a wide variety of emissions sources measurements are conventionally performed by recording PM mass. The ambient standards are written in terms of mass concentrations, and emission regulations are based on mass rates. However, in order to understand better the nature of the mobile source contribution to ambient PM, many research groups are currently extending their investigations to include measurements of the speciation of particles in automotive exhaust. Usually, organic fraction of automotive exhaust particles are concentrated to 1 mL by Kuderna-Danish concentrator after extracted into dichloromethane by soxhlet extraction. Then, these extracts are analyzed by GC/MS. In this time, it need long time to get analytical results although we can get precise results. Progress in understanding and mitigating these problems is limited by the ability of existing instruments to provide real-time, size-resolved, quantitative measurements of aerosol mass and chemical composition. A number of measurement techniques possessing some of the required aerosol analysis capabilities have emerged recently. Real-time aerosol mass spectrometers aim to provide information on chemical composition of particle ensembles. Most of these instruments also provide information on particle size. An Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) developed at Aerodyne Research, which has been designed to provide real-time quantitative information on size-resolved mass loadings for semi-volatile chemical components present on ambient aerosol particles. In this study, semi-volatile chemical composition of automotive exhaust particles are continuously measured by improved aerosol mass spectrometer. In this result, it is found out that diesel exhaust particles semi-volatile size resolved chemical compositions are changed according to driving condition. Environment & Energy -2

Evolution of vehicle exhaust particles in the atmosphere.
Aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) measurements are used to characterize the evolution of exhaust particulate matter (PM) properties near and downwind of vehicle sources. The AMS provides time-resolved chemically speciated mass loadings and mass-weighted size distributions of nonrefractory PM smaller than 1 microm (NRPM1). Source measurements of aircraft PM show that black carbon particles inhibit...
متن کاملEvolving mass spectra of the oxidized component of organic aerosol: results from aerosol mass spectrometer analyses of aged diesel emissions
The species and chemistry responsible for secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation remain highly uncertain. Laboratory studies of the oxidation of individual, high-flux SOA precursors do not lead to particles with mass spectra (MS) matching those of ambient aged organic material. Additionally, the complexity of real organic particles challenges efforts to identify their chemical origins. We ha...

Lubricant-derived trace element emissions are the largest contributors to the accumulation of incombustible ash in diesel particulate filters (DPF), eventually leading to filter plugging and an increase in engine fuel consumption. Particulate trace element emissions also pose adverse health effects and are the focus of increasingly stringent air quality regulations. To date, the rates and physi...

We report the first joint shipboard and airborne study focused on the chemical composition and water-uptake behavior of particulate ship emissions. The study focuses on emissions from the main propulsion engine of a Post-Panamax class container ship cruising off the central coast of California and burning heavy fuel oil. Shipboard sampling included micro-orifice uniform deposit impactors (MOUDI...
