Summary

Diesel exhaust nanoparticles are mostly semivolatile, especially smaller ones. Their volatility depends on engine load, with higher loads reducing semivolatile content in these fine particles.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Chemical Engineering

Background:

  • Diesel exhaust nanoparticles (DENPs) are a significant air pollutant.
  • Understanding nanoparticle composition and volatility is crucial for health and environmental impact assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the size-dependent volatility of diesel exhaust nanoparticles.
  • To quantify the semivolatile and nonvolatile fractions of DENPs under varying engine conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a chassis dynamometer with a medium-duty diesel truck.
  • Employed a tandem differential mobility analyzer (TDMA) with an electric furnace to measure size shifts.
  • Analyzed nanoparticle size distributions and composition changes at different temperatures.

Main Results:

  • Observed a reduction in particle size and volume with increasing furnace temperature.
  • Detected the development of bimodal size distributions, separating semivolatile and nonvolatile species.
  • Found that 91-98% of particle volume was semivolatile at idle, decreasing to 6-9% at half load.
  • Determined that smaller nanoparticles contain a higher fraction of semivolatile components.

Conclusions:

  • Diesel exhaust nanoparticles exhibit significant size-dependent volatility.
  • Engine load is a critical factor influencing the semivolatile fraction of DENPs.
  • The findings aid in understanding nanoparticle behavior and developing emission control strategies.
