Article Abstract
A catalyst is usually coated on Diesel particulate filter (DPF) for assisted regeneration. In this paper, the oxidation activity and pore structure evolutions of soot under the effect of CeO are explored. CeO effectively increases the oxidation activity of soot and reduces the initial activation energy; in the meantime, the addition of CeO changes the soot oxidation mode. Pure soot particles tend to produce the porous structure in the oxidation process. Mesopores promote the diffusion of oxygen, and macropores contribute to reduce the agglomeration of soot particles. Additionally, CeO provides the active oxygen for soot oxidation and promotes the multi-point oxidation at the beginning of soot oxidation. With the oxidation proceeding, catalysis causes the collapsion of soot microspatial structures, in the meantime, the macropores caused by the catalytic oxidation are filled by CeO. It results in the tight contact between soot and catalyst, further promoting the formation of the available active oxygen for soot oxidation. This paper is meaningful to analyze the oxidation mechanism of soot under catalysis, which lays a foundation for improving the regeneration efficiency of DPF and reducing the particle emission.

Simultaneous oxidation of soot and CH emitted from natural gas-diesel dual fuel engine is a new challenge. Herein, a robust catalyst of binary Ru-Pd components supported on three-dimensional ordered macro-mesoporous cerium-zirconium oxide (RuPd/3DOMM-CZO) is elaborately constructed. Ordered macro-mesopore structure in novel hierarchical porous cerium-zirconium oxide can respectively enhance mass transfer of soot and gaseous reactants, and binary Ru-Pd active components can improve activation for NO and CH.

Using biotar as a reburning fuel is a potential method for NO reduction. Furan, a typical biomass tar compound, is used to study NO reduction during cocombustion with biomass. The combination density functional theory (DFT) and ReaxFF molecular dynamics (MD) methods were used to study the detailed mechanism at the molecular level.

Military personnel deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan were exposed to emissions from open-air burn pits, where plastics, metals, and medical waste were incinerated. These exposures have been linked to deployment-related respiratory diseases (DRRD) and may also impact neurological health via the lung-brain axis. To investigate molecular mechanisms, adult male rats were exposed to filtered air, naphthalene (a representative volatile organic compound), or a combination of naphthalene and carbon black (surrogate for particulate matter; CBN) via whole-body inhalation (six hours/day, three consecutive days).

Nitrous acid (HONO) constitutes an essential gaseous pollutant and a significant reservoir of hydroxyl radicals (OH), which are crucial for atmospheric oxidation capacity. Environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs), long-lived in particulate matter, may promote HONO formation via reactions with NO, although the mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated. In this study, the heterogeneous formation of HONO was explored through reactions between NO and diesel soot collected during a field campaign, focusing on the role of EPFRs.
