Abstract
Surface growth and oxidation of soot particles is investigated in prem ixed counter flow flames. Surface growth rates and soot oxidation rate s can be evaluated from the measured appearance rates of soot and the calculated surface growth rates derived from the HACA-mechanism. The d ependence of surface growth rates and soot oxidation rates on composit ion of the gas phase, temperature and ''surface concentration'' is dis cussed. A mechanism of soot oxidation accounting for the experimental findings is suggested.
