Quantifying functional group compositions of household fuel-burning emissions

Globally, billions of people burn fuels indoors for cooking and heating, which contributes to millions of chronic illnesses and premature deaths annually. Additionally, residential burning contributes significantly to black carbon emissions, which have the ...

Towards a negative-emission society

Xiang Li

Negative carbon emissions are proved necessary to limit global temperature increase below 1.5C compared to pre-industrial levels. (a) Reducing carbon sources and (b) increasing negative emissions are two effective ways to achieve this goal. (a) involves th ...

Year-long variability of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their contribution on winter intense pollution events in the urban environment of Athens, Greece

Athanasios Nenes, Maria Apostolaki

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are organic pollutants with proven mutagenic and carcinogenic potential that originate from incomplete combustion, and partition to fine particulate matter. Nitro-PAHs & oxy-PAHs are oxidation products of PAHs with i ...

NOVEL TRIAZENES AND SOLID STATE LUMINOGENS

Abdusalom Suleymanov

Triazenes are very useful compounds in organic synthesis, materials science, and medicine. Among numerous reported triazene derivatives, aryl triazenes are the most investigated. Triazenes with alkynyl, vinyl, and alkyl groups were, until recently, largely ...

Tracing China's external driving sources and internal emission hotspots of export-driven PM10 emission

Yue Lu, Qinli Lu

External trade could induce extensive air pollutant emissions among partners. PM10 (particles smaller than 10 mu m) is an important pollutant that could cause various problems. Few studies have researched the spatial heterogeneity of this export-driven pol ...

The DTT device: Power and particle exhaust

Holger Reimerdes

The possible scenarios at full power of the DTT (Divertor Test Tokamak) device with the standard single null (SN) and X divertor (XD) configurations have been analysed for the aspect of safely handling the power to be exhausted on the divertor targets. In ...

Prediction of vehicle activity for emissions estimation under oversaturated conditions along signalized arterials

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Eleni Christofa

The traditional methodology for estimating vehicle emissions based on vehicle miles traveled and average speed is not reliable because it does not consider the effects of congestion, control devices, and driving mode (cruise, acceleration, deceleration, an ...

Experimental investigation of prechamber autoignition in a natural gas engine for cogeneration

Daniel Favrat, Stefan Heyne, Michael Meier

A novel ignition concept based on autoignition in an unscavanged prechamber is currently being developed at the Laboratory for Industrial Energy Systems (LENI). On a single cylinder test engine a series of experimental runs (CR=8.5-14, =1-1.6, RPM=1150/150 ...
