Construction of the reaction mechanisms for the formation and oxidation of soot based on the chemical structure and morphology

为了减少柴油发动机燃烧排放的烟尘等颗粒物，了解它们形成的化学过程是很重要的。本研究的重点是烟灰的稳定性和可燃性取决于前驱环化合物的化学结构和形态。特别是对稳定的六元环结构与相对不稳定的五元环结构之间的交换反应进行了实验和理论研究。

In order to reduce the particulate matters such as soot emitted from the combustion in diesel engines etc., the understanding of the chemical process of their formation is important. This study focused on the stability and combustibility of the soot depending on the chemical structure and morphology of the precursor cyclic compounds. Especially, the exchange reactions between stable six-membered ring structure due to the aromaticity and relatively unstable five-membered ring structure have been studied both experimentally and theoretically.
