Microstructure and chemical analysis of NOx and particle emissions of diesel engines

Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the micro and chemical structure of particulate matter and nitrogen oxide from motor vehicle exhaust fumes. In this context, particulate matter microstructure was determined with the help of scanning electron microscope; elements such as C, O, N, F, Na, Mg, Br, Al, Si, Hg, S, Pb, Cl, Cd, K, Ca, Ba, Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Ni, V and Zn which constitute the source of pollution were determined by energy dispersive spectrometer; nitrogen oxide compounds were determined with X-ray diffraction spectrometer; and photonic properties were determined by means of photoluminescence spectrophotometer. The data obtained in this study provide important source information to understand the effects of exhaust fume on environmental pollution.
