Investigations of airborne tire and brake wear particles using a novel vehicle design.
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int
August 2024
Non-exhaust emissions have become an increasingly important issue as their levels continue to rise and the health effects of particulate matter (PM) are more widely discussed. To address this issue, a vehicle demonstrator with integrated emission reduction of tires and brakes was developed as part of the Zero Emission Drive Unit Generation-1 (ZEDU-1) project. This novel concept includes the removal of tire road wear particles (TRWP) with a strong ventilation/filtering system and an enclosed multi-disk brake, making it a suitable tool for the investigation of non-exhaust emissions.

- - Flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can switch between closed and open pore states, making them promising for efficient gas separations, particularly for different isotopes.
- - The study focuses on DUT-8(Ni), which selectively reacts to deuterium (D) but not to hydrogen (H) or hydrogen-deuterium (HD), with in situ neutron diffraction illustrating this phase transition under pressure.
- - Experimental findings show a remarkable selectivity of 11.6 for D over H at low temperatures, and simulations indicate that DUT-8(Ni) effectively opens for deuterium isotopes while remaining closed for ordinary hydrogen, highlighting its potential for isotope separation.
