Characteristics of Generating Carbon Oxides at Low-temperature Oxidation Stages of Low-Rank Coal by Yimeng Song

“…However, studies on carbon oxide gases being indicator gases in predicting spontaneous combustion of coal remain in the initial stage. To better investigate the stage characteristics of generating carbon oxide gases in the low-temperature oxidation process of coal, this study adopts STA-FTIR to experimentally determine the coal weight variation and exothermic condition and the generation law during the low-temperature oxidation process of coal (30–350°C). …”

Investigations of the Montmorillonite and Aluminium Trihydrate Addition Effects on the Ignitability and Thermal Stability of Asphalt by Kai Zhu, Ke Wu, Bin Wu, Zhiyi Huang

“…By means of limiting oxygen index (LOI), cone calorimeter, and TG-DSC tests, this paper investigated the effect of unmodified montmorillonite (MMT), organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT), and aluminium trihydrate (ATH) additions on the flame retardancy for asphalt combustion. Experimental results showed that adding a small amount of montmorillonite did not significantly increase the oxygen index of the asphalt but reduced the heat release rate during asphalt combustion. …”

Future Trends in Worldwide River Nitrogen Transport and Related Nitrous Oxide Emissions: A Scenario Analysis by Carolien Kroeze, Sybil P. Seitzinger, Rita Domingues

“…The potential effect of reduced NOy deposition on riverine DIN export is moderate, because most N in European rivers stems from agriculture, and not from fuel combustion. Nevertheless, the calculated 9% reduction (relative to BAU) in DIN inputs to the North Sea as a potential side effect of air pollution control may help achieve the international policy targets for reduced N inputs to the North Sea.…”
