Research on Emissions of Benzene & Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Constant Volume Combustion Bomb

Abstract:

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are harmful to human body and environment. In order to know the formatting rules of benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in gasoline combustion process, a series of tests are done in a constant volume combustion bomb. The emissions of benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are measured by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyzer. The test results show that the benzene in combustion products comes from the incomplete combustion fuel. The free radicals out of cracking fuel may also become benzene in combustion process. Adding ethanol in fuels does not necessarily increase the emission of benzene. Formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons varies with temperature.
