(Environ. Eng.), Tsinghua University, P.R. China, 2000 M.S. (Environ. Eng.), Tsinghua University, P.R. China, 2002 Committee Chair: Mingming Lu, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Diesel engines emit large quantities of fine particles to the atmosphere, on which numerous organic compounds are absorbed, such as PAHs, nitro-PAHs, and sulfur-containing PAHs. It is well established that exposure to PAHs and their derivatives may represent a high risk for human health. Considering its organic fractions and inhalable properties, diesel particulate matter (DPM) is considered a probable human carcinogen. The concerns of DPM health effects have simulated studies on DPM chemical composition and its formation mechanisms. This dissertation presents the results of an experimental investigation into the composition and formation mechanism of DPM at various engine operating conditions and fuel sulfur contents. The influence of sampling methods also was examined. High volume dilution sampling and ultrasonic assisted extraction methods were developed for collection and extraction of DPM. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with selective ion chromatogram (SIC), tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) with selected ion monitoring (SIM), and gas chromatography with atomic emission detection (GC/AED) were applied for determination of numerous hydrocarbons and organosulfur species in diesel emissions. The results of the comparisons between DPM extracts, diesel fuel, and engine oil indicate that diesel fuel, engine oil, and combustion process were the three major sources of alkanes, organic acids, and PAHs and alkylated PAHs in DPM, respectively. As expected, the distribution of organic compounds between gas and particle phase diesel emissions was directly correlated with their vapor pressures. Adsorption of gas phase organics onto diesel particles was the predominant mechanism controlling the formation of diesel aerosols. This research revealed strong effects from engine operation conditions and sampling methods on the organic composition and formation mechanism of DPM, as well as the compound distribution. Higher engine loads caused the increase in DPM emission rate, its elemental carbon fraction, and the heavier components, which were pyrogenic species, formed during combustion processes, and may present greater health risks. The comparison between the results for dilution method and stack sampling method demonstrated that the dilution process significantly increased the organic fraction of DPM through the condensation of gas-phase organics. The research outcomes provide important knowledge for understanding DPM nature and formation mechanisms.

  • Cycloalkanes, Cycloalkenes, and Cycloalkynes
    CYCLOALKANES, CYCLOALKENES, AND CYCLOALKYNES any important hydrocarbons, known as cycloalkanes, contain rings of carbon atoms linked together by single bonds. The simple cycloalkanes of formula (CH,), make up a particularly important homologous series in which the chemical properties change in a much more dramatic way with increasing n than do those of the acyclic hydrocarbons CH,(CH,),,-,H. The cyclo- alkanes with small rings (n = 3-6) are of special interest in exhibiting chemical properties intermediate between those of alkanes and alkenes. In this chapter we will show how this behavior can be explained in terms of angle strain and steric hindrance, concepts that have been introduced previously and will be used with increasing frequency as we proceed further. We also discuss the conformations of cycloalkanes, especially cyclo- hexane, in detail because of their importance to the chemistry of many kinds of naturally occurring organic compounds. Some attention also will be paid to polycyclic compounds, substances with more than one ring, and to cyclo- alkenes and cycloalkynes. 12-1 NOMENCLATURE AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CYCLOALKANES The IUPAC system for naming cycloalkanes and cycloalkenes was presented in some detail in Sections 3-2 and 3-3, and you may wish to review that ma- terial before proceeding further.

The multivariate relative rate method was applied to a range of volatile organic compounds (VOC) reactions with OH. This previously published method (Shaw et al., 2018b) was improved to increase the sensitivity towards slower reacting VOC, broadening the range of compounds which can be examined. A total of thirty-five room temperature relative rate coefficients were determined; eight of which have not previously been reported. Five of the new reaction rate coefficients were 5 for large alkyl substituted monoaromatic species recently identified in urban air masses, likely with large ozone production -12 3 -1 -1 potentials. The new results (with kOH (296 K) values in units of 10 cm molecule s ) were: n-butylbenzene, 11 (± 4); n- pentylbenzene, 7 (± 2); 1,2-diethylbenzene, 14 (± 4); 1,3-diethylbenzene, 22 (± 4) and 1,4-diethylbenzene, 16 (± 4).

  • Studies of Produced Water Toxicity Using Luminescent Marine Bacteria
    Environmental Toxicology 111 Studies of produced water toxicity using luminescent marine bacteria S. Grigson, C. Cheong & E. Way Heriot-Watt University, Scotland, UK Abstract The main aqueous discharge from oil production platforms is produced water (PW). Produced water is contaminated with a range of pollutants including crude oil, inorganic salts, trace metals, dissolved gases, produced solids and oilfield chemical residues. Concern has been expressed on the impact these discharges, and particularly the dissolved oil component, may be having on the marine environment. In this investigation the toxicity of synthetic produced waters contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons was compared to PW samples received from the field using the luminescent marine bacterium Vibrio fisheri. The objective was to correlate toxicity to specific PW components. Initial studies of individual oil components showed that both aromatic and aliphatic compounds exhibited toxicity. Naphthalene was the most toxic aromatic compound measured and cycloheptane the most toxic aliphatic. For benzenes, toxicity increased with alkyl substitution. Synthetic PW samples, based on the composition of those obtained offshore, had lower toxicities than the field PW samples. The addition of oilfield chemicals at dosage levels used offshore increased the toxicity of the synthetic PW mixtures, but not to the original values. Removal of the oil components by solid-phase extraction reduced PW toxicity in both synthetic and real samples. The results suggest that a range of hydrocarbons, both aliphatic and aromatic, along with heavy metals and oilfield chemical residues, contribute to the toxicity of produced water. Removal of petroleum hydrocarbons significantly reduces the acute toxicity of produced water. However, differences in toxicity between real and synthetic PW samples suggest that components other than hydrocarbons, heavy metals and oilfield chemical residues, are also influencing the toxicity of the effluent.

  • Predicting Sooting Propensity of Oxygenated Fuels Using Artificial
    processes Article Predicting Sooting Propensity of Oxygenated Fuels Using Artificial Neural Networks Abdul Gani Abdul Jameel Department of Chemical Engineering, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, Dhahran 31261, Saudi Arabia; [email protected] Abstract: The self-learning capabilities of artificial neural networks (ANNs) from large datasets have led to their deployment in the prediction of various physical and chemical phenomena. In the present work, an ANN model was developed to predict the yield sooting index (YSI) of oxygenated fuels using the functional group approach. A total of 265 pure compounds comprising six chemical classes, namely paraffins (n and iso), olefins, naphthenes, aromatics, alcohols, and ethers, were dis-assembled into eight constituent functional groups, namely paraffinic CH3 groups, paraffinic CH2 groups, paraffinic CH groups, olefinic –CH=CH2 groups, naphthenic CH-CH2 groups, aromatic C-CH groups, alcoholic OH groups, and ether O groups. These functional groups, in addition to molecular weight and branching index, were used as inputs to develop the ANN model. A neural network with two hidden layers was used to train the model using the Levenberg–Marquardt (ML) training algorithm. The developed model was tested with 15% of the random unseen data points. A regression coefficient (R2) of 0.99 was obtained when the experimental values were compared with the predicted YSI values from the test set. An average error of 3.4% was obtained, which is less than the experimental uncertainty associated with most reported YSI measurements. The developed model can be used for YSI prediction of hydrocarbon fuels containing alcohol and ether-based oxygenates as additives with a high degree of accuracy.
