Characteristics of Carbon Nanoparticle Oxidation by NO2

Abstract

The oxidation rates of carbon nanoparticle by nitrogen dioxide were measured over the temperature range 17-700℃ and the concentration range of 0-552 ppm at two different reaction times. A tandem differential mobility analyzer (TDMA) technique is used for the oxidation of the monodisperse particles. The size-decrease shows a modified Arrhenius equation from, which describes the rate of reaction.
