Abstract:
In fires, the concentrations of soot and carbon monoxide
are found to be strongly correlated and a significant
fraction of the CO emitted from fires is believed to
originate from soot particle oxidation. There have been
a number of studies of particle oxidation within flames
and in shock tubes, but little work on post-flame
oxidation. We recently initiated a study of the
transformation of post-flame smoke with an emphasis on
the chemical transformation of surface-adsorbed
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and the subsequent
formation of gas phase molecular oxidation products.
