  1. 16. Particle emissions from residential wood and biodiesel combustion

    Författare :Robin Nyström; Christoffer Boman; Dan Boström; Markus Broström; Michael Strand; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Combustion; biomass; wood; biodiesel; particulate matter; emissions; aerosols; physicochemical properties; size distribution; PAH;

    Sammanfattning : Emissions from anthropogenic combustion sources, such as vehicles and biomass combustion, contribute significantly to ambient particulate matter (PM) both on a local and global scale. Exposure to ambient PM and air pollution in general is linked to a variety of different health effects and it has been estimated that as many as 2. LÄS MER

  2. 17. Elemental composition of fine particles: exposure in the general population and influence from different sources

    Författare :Peter Molnár; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :particulate matter; PM2.5; PM1; ultrafine particles; trace elements; personal exposure; X-ray fluorescence XRF ; indoor levels; air mass back trajectories; long-range transport; domestic wood burning;

    Sammanfattning : The general population is exposed to particulate air pollution from many different local and regional sources. Examples of local sources are traffic, biomass burning and resuspended dust, while regional sources are dominated by combustion processes from heating, traffic and industries. LÄS MER

  3. 18. Water-in-diesel emulsion and microemulsion fuels -The effect of water on emission levels

    Författare :Anna Lif; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Combustion; Diesel; Soot; NMR; Microemulsion; PM; Emulsion; Surfactant; NOx; Diffusometry; Alternative fuels; Emission;

    Sammanfattning : Water-in-diesel emulsions are known as environmentally favourable alternatives to conventional diesel fuel. Introducing water into the combustion results in reduced emissions of the health hazardous components nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). The concept of using emulsions is advantageous as it is easy to replace regular diesel. LÄS MER

  4. 19. Towards sustainable heavy-duty transportation : Combustion and emissions using renewable fuels in a compression ignition engine

    Författare :Maja Novakovic; Förbränningsmotorer; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; RME; HVO; E85; methanol; ethanol; decarbonization; defossilization; heavy-duty; compression-ignition engine; ow temperature combustion; PPC; emissions; PM; particles; aerosol; OA; SOA; DOC;

    Sammanfattning : Transportation should become sustainable and available to everyone. Currently, transportation accounts for approx. one sixth of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally, and heavy-duty trucks are responsible for almost 30% of that. LÄS MER

  5. 20. Benzene-char conversion and particle-vapor characterization in biomass gasification

    Författare :Mario Morgalla; Michael Strand; Leteng Lin; Henrik Wiinikka; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biomass gasification; fluidized bed; particulate matter; aerosol; char; tars; benzene conversion.; Bioenergiteknik Energi- och Miljöteknik; Bioenergy Technology;

    Sammanfattning : Biomass is increasingly attracting attention as an alternative to fossil fuels. Gasification permits the thermochemical conversion of biomass into a product gas rich in carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The product gas can be further processed to generate heat, electricity, synthesis gas, chemicals, and biofuels. LÄS MER
