Mechanisms of soot-aggregate restructuring and compaction

Joel C. Corbin et al.

Summary: This study combines theory and experiments to explain conflicting viewpoints on the compaction of soot aggregates. The study finds that internal mixing of soot particles with liquid coatings through condensation typically leads to compaction, while internal mixing through coagulation or the formation of solid or highly viscous coatings may avoid compaction.

Emissions of Gases and Volatile Organic Compounds from Residential Heating: A Comparison of Brown Coal Briquettes and Logwood Combustion

Patrick Martens et al.

Summary: Compared to wood, brown coal briquettes (BCBs) made from Lusatian lignite showed higher emissions of compounds attributed to lignin decomposition, while emissions from pyrosynthesis did not differ significantly. Additionally, BCB combustion resulted in a 20-fold higher emission factor for SO2, known for its deleterious effects. Replacing BCBs with logwood for residential heating may be beneficial for human health due to vast differences in SO2 emissions, although the potential impact from reducing organic emissions is uncertain.

Vapor Condensation and Coating Evaporation Are Both Responsible for Soot Aggregate Restructuring

Ogochukwu Y. Enekwizu et al.

Summary: Research has shown that soot undergoes restructuring under different conditions, including capillary condensation and coating evaporation. Experiments demonstrate that minor restructuring occurs at zero vapor supersaturation, while increasing supersaturation leads to more notable aggregate shrinkage. As the volume of the coating increases, the aggregates become more compacted.

Coated soot particles with tunable, well-controlled properties generated in the laboratory with a miniCAST BC and a micro smog chamber

Michaela N. Ess et al.

Summary: In this study, a Micro Smog Chamber was successfully coupled with a combustion generator to produce stable and reproducible model aerosols simulating combustion particles in ambient air. Aging of particles was achieved through organic coating, resulting in stable and reproducible aerosols with varying physical properties. These generated aerosols could have useful applications in aerosol instrument calibration under controlled conditions.

Optical properties of coated black carbon aggregates: numerical simulations, radiative forcing estimates, and size-resolved parameterization scheme

Baseerat Romshoo et al.

Summary: The study on the optical properties of black carbon fractal aggregates (BCFAs) revealed significant impacts of changes in size, morphology, and composition on the optical properties, with size showing the highest variability. As BCFAs become more compact and organic content increases, radiative forcing decreases.

Modeled source apportionment of black carbon particles coated with a light-scattering shell

Aki Virkkula

Summary: The Aethalometer model is widely used for estimating contributions of fossil fuel emissions and biomass burning to equivalent black carbon absorption, with uncertainties in interpretation due to particle size, internal structure, and other factors. Evaluating the uncertainties in apparent fractions of absorption by eBC from fossil fuel and biomass burning revealed the significant impact of size distribution on absorption.
