The laboratory combustion technique operating on a typical combustor of a gas turbine engine is used for soot sampling. Soot particles are derived by combustion of a hydrocarbon C3H8–n-C4H10 mixture at typical cruise conditions. Size, morphology, microstructure, surface area, porosity, and the chemical nature of the soot surface particles are studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman and Auger electron spectroscopies (AES), volumetry and gravimetry. Structural irregularities such as micropores determine the specific adsorbability of non-polar gases such as Kr, CH4 and C6H6. With respect to water adsorption, aircraft combustor soot is far from being hydrophobic. Initial water adsorption on polar heterogeneities leads to pore filling at increasing pressures. The microstructure of soot particles is easily transformed under the influence of adsorbates, giving rise to swelling effects. Due to its specific physico-chemical properties aircraft combustor soot may act as contrail condensation nuclei at low sulfur content in the jet fuel.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
