Emissions characterization from a variety of coals on a pilot-scale facility_v1

The current study not only characterizes emissions from three coals (bituminous, sub-bituminous, and lignite), but also investigates the use of instrumentation for improved measurement and monitoring techniques that provide real-time, continuous emissions data.  Testing was completed using the U.S. EPA’s Multi-Pollutant Control Research Facility, a pilot-scale coal-fired combustor using industry-standard emission control technologies, in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.  Emissions were calculated based on measurements from the flue gas (pre- and post-electrostatic precipitator), to characterize gaseous species (CO, CO2, O2, NOX, SO2, other acid gases, and several organic HAPs) as well as fine and ultrafine particulate (mass, size distribution, number count, elemental carbon, organic carbon, and black carbon).  Comparisons of traditional EPA methods to those made via Fourier Transfer Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy for CO, NOX, and SO2 are also reported.

Temperature and driving cycle influence SVOC emissions from (bio-) diesel trucks

The present study examines the effects of fuel (an ultra-low sulfur diesel [ULSD] versus a 20% v/v soy-based biodiesel—80% v/v petroleum blend [B20]), temperature, load, vehicle, driving cycle, and active regeneration technology on gas- and particle-phase carbon emissions from light and medium heavy-duty diesel vehicles (L/MHDDV). The study is performed using chassis dynamometer facilities that support low temperature operation (-6.7 °C versus 21.7 °C) and heavy loads up to 12,000 kg. Organic and elemental carbon (OC-EC) composition of aerosol particles is determined using a thermal-optical technique. Gas- and particle-phase semivolatile organic compound (SVOC) emissions collected using traditional filter and polyurethane foam (PUF) sampling media are analyzed using advanced gas chromatograpy/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) methods.

Analysis of emission reduction strategies for power boilers in the US pulp and paper industry

This paper first presents the background information for UISIS-PNP model by discussing different types of boilers installed throughout the pulp and paper sector, the air emissions from these boilers, and the menu of air pollution control technologies applicable to the boilers. The paper then presents examples of air pollution reduction strategies, followed by an analysis of the benefits of emission reduction strategies. These examples are given to illustrate modeling capabilities of the UISIS-PNP model and should not be construed as actual emission reduction strategy considerations by EPA.

The Photochemical Conversion of Surrogate Emissions for Use in Toxicological Studies:   Role of Particulate- and Gas-Phase Products

The production of photochemical atmospheres under controlled conditions in an irradiation chamber permits the manipulation of parameters that influence the resulting air pollutant chemistry and potential biological effects.  To date no studies have examined how contrasting atmospheres with a similar Air Quality Health Index (AQHI), but with differing ratios of criteria air pollutants, might differentially affect health endpoints.  Here we produced two atmospheres with similar AQHIs based on the final concentrations of ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter (PM2.5).  One simulated atmosphere (SA-PM) generated from irradiation of ~23 ppmC gasoline, ~5 ppmC of α-pinene, 529 ppb NO, and 3 µg m-3 (NH4)2SO4 as a seed resulted in ~976 µg m-3 PM2.5, 326 ppb NO2, and 141 ppb O3 (AQHI 97.7).  The other atmosphere (SA-O3) generated from ~8 ppmC gasoline, 5 ppmC isoprene, 874 ppb NO, 2 µg m-3 (NH4)2SO4 resulted in ~55 µg m-3 PM2.5, 643 ppb NO2, and 430 ppb O3 (AQHI of 99.8).  Chemical speciation by gas chromatography showed that photo-oxidation degraded the organic precursors and promoted the de novo formation of secondary reaction products such as formaldehyde and acrolein.  Further work in accompanying papers describe toxicological outcomes from the two distinct photochemical atmospheres.
