Three way catalysts based on mixed oxides for the treatment of the exhaust gases of internal combustion engine Universiteit Gent
Removal of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides from exhaust gases by photo-assisted catalysis KU Leuven
Particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted from power plant or mobile vehicles are responsible for air pollution and ever more stringent emission limits are proposed. Removal of particulate matter and NOx from diesel exhaust gases is currently achieved via a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and a NOx reduction catalyst (NOx storage and reduction catalyst (NSRC) or selectively catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst). Particulate matter ...
Study on the impregnation procedures to prepare catalytic complexes for the treatment of motorbike's exhaust gases Universiteit Gent
Effect of emulsified fuels based on fatty acid distillates on single cylinder diesel engine performance and exhaust emissions Universiteit Gent
Influence of adding low concentration of oxygenates in mineral diesel oil and biodiesel on the concentration of NO, NO₂ and particulate matter in the exhaust gas of a one-cylinder diesel generator Universiteit Antwerpen
Air quality currently poses a major risk to human health worldwide. Transportation is one of the principal contributors to air pollution due to the quality of exhaust gases. For example, the widely used diesel fuel is a significant source of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). To reduce the content NOx and PM, different oxygenated compounds were mixed into a mineral diesel available at the pump, and their effect on the composition ...
Examining gender-linked vehicle emissions with a GPS-enabled data collection tool Universiteit Hasselt
This paper describes the development and application of an activity-based data collection tool for the assessment of gender-linked vehicle exhaust emissions. The developed methodology implies the collection of activity and travel data on a PDA (personal digital assistant) with built-in GPS receiver. By converting the GPS-based travel data into emissions, good estimates can be made of the exhausts produced by every vehicle trip in the travel ...
EGR control on operation of a tar tolerant HCCI engine with simulated syngas from biomass Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In combined heat and power plants operated with biomass syngas, the removal of condensible tars is a necessary but expensive step (up to one third of the installation and maintenance costs). This step is required because the syngas has to be cooled down to avoid knocking in the spark ignition engines traditionally used in such plants. To remove the tar condensation problem, we developed an alternative system based on an Homogeneous Charge ...
New adsorptive, catalytic and photocatalytic approaches for elimination of NOx and NH3 from a gas stream KU Leuven
Internal combustion engines are important sources of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons and particulate matter in the troposphere. Environmental concern is leading to ever more stringent emission legislation and innovation in catalytic combustion aftertreatment systems to reduce tailpipe emissions. Modern fuel efficient lean burn gasoline and diesel engines produce oxygen rich exhaust gases. This makes the reduction of ...
Humidified micro gas turbines for domestic users: An economic and primary energy savings analysis Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Micro Gas Turbines (mGTs) offer valuable advantages for small-scale Combined Heat and Power (CHP) production compared to reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs): lower maintenance costs per kWhe, cleaner exhaust, lower vibration levels and concentration of the residual heat in a single source (the exhaust gases). Nevertheless, mGTs have lower electrical efficiencies, fact that has prevented them from penetrating in the CHP market. Hot ...
