    It is well known that particulate matter (PM) from diesel compression ignition engines is harmful to the environment and to human health. To reduce engine PM emissions, exhaust after-treatment systems are utilized. A basic high-performance system can be composed of a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and diesel particulate filter (DPF). This study used a system composed of a DOC and a partial flow DPF. Partial flow refers to how only a portion of the exhaust gas is filtered using metal fibrous filters instead of the full flow using ceramic filters. The PM deposited on the side wall of the stages of the system was investigated with respect to elemental composition, morphology, and nanostructure. This was to determine the effect of each component on the PM. The elemental composition analysis found traces of the engine lubricant oil in the PM collected before entering the DOC. This was then eliminated by the DOC and the remaining PM was not significantly impacted by the exhaust after-treatment system. The morphology and nanostructure show an interesting relationship where the size of the single primary particles increased while the graphitic nature of the carbon in the PM seemed to decrease. This can be explained by the simultaneous nature of partial trapping and partial oxidation that occurs in the partial-flow DPF. The emission measurements of opacity, temperature, CO<inf>2</inf>, NO, and O<inf>2</inf> from each position also support this.

    Particulate Matters (PM) are known to be dangerous to human health and the environment. Regulations have been set to limit PM levels from vehicles, including compression ignition engine vehicles. The effect of increasing biodiesel content in the fuels has been investigated with respect to the PM using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). PM from tire emissions were compared against diesel PM using SEM, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), TEM, particle size analysis, x-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectroscopy (RS). The SEM and TEM show that increasing the biodiesel content decreased the size of the PM agglomerate particles, primary particles, and fringes. The EDS, RS, and XRD show that Tire PM are mostly carbon with silicon, calcium, zinc, and other various trace elements. They also allow comparisons with diesel PM for the carbon nanostructure. The particle size analysis shows that Tire PM are generally larger than engine derived PM. The TEM showed that the nanostructure of the carbonaceous Tire PM was the same fringe structure as the engine derived PM. The Tire PM was successfully characterized using similar methods as engine derived soot. There is strong relationship between the increasing of biodiesel content and reduction of agglomerate size, primary particle size and average fringe length.
