Article Synopsis
- This study examines the characteristics of soot particles from a heavy-duty diesel engine that uses different blends of waste cooking oil biodiesel (WCO) and petroleum diesel.
- The findings indicate that as the percentage of biodiesel in the fuel increases, the fringe length of soot particles decreases, while their oxidation activity and oxygen-to-carbon ratio (O/C) first increase and then decrease along the exhaust treatment system.
- Additionally, varying biodiesel blends affect the chemical composition and structure of soot, which can help in optimizing exhaust after-treatment systems for better performance.
