Thermogravimetric analysis of carbon black and engine soot - Towards a more robust oil analysis method

This work examined the thermal behaviour of diesel engine produced soot and commercial carbon black using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It was found that during TGA analysis of the carbon matrices (at a temperature range commonly used for soot-in-oil content determination), a gradual mass loss o...
