Observation of Structural Changes during Oxidation of Black and Brown Soot Using Raman Spectroscopy
In this study, Raman spectroscopy has been used to evaluate the evolution of the structural modification of soot during oxidation processes at various preset temperatures up to 700 °C. Two types of well-characterized mini-CAST soot, representing black soot and brown soot, were examined. The major difference between the signals from the two types of soot was the higher photoluminescence (PL) signal
