  1. Jana Moldanová IVL, Swedish Environmental Research Institute Black carbon: Characterisation, measurementmethods, and emission factors

  2. Definitions • Optical properties: Black carbon • Is formed by incomplete combustion of hydrocarbon fuels, and is the most effective component of PM, by mass, at absorbing solar energy • Mass of combustion-generated, sp2-bonded carbon that absorbs the same amount of light as the emitted particles. Absorption efficiency of the reference particles as 7 m2/g for 550-nm incident radiation (Bond 2004) • Thermal stability: Elemental carbon • Structure: Soot • Composition: Carbonaceous aerosol (includes OC)

  3. Definitions

  4. BC has a strong climateeffect Aamas et al., 2013

  5. BC sources - Europe 2. – non-industrial combustion 4. – production processes 9. – wastetreatment and disposal 10 – agriculture van den Ggon, 2012

  6. BC sources - Global BB for biomass burning, AWB for agricultural waste burning, AIRC for aviation, ANTH for other anthropogenic sources, VOLC for volcanoes and BIOG for biogenic sources. Hendrickset al., 2013

  7. Spatial distribution of BC in fine PM TRANSPHORM, van den Ghon, 2012

  8. Uncertainties in source strength Kindbom in Hansson et al, 2012

  9. BC mixing – uncertainties in light absorption

  10. Measurementmethods • Optical (BC) • in situ (Aethalometer) • filter analyses (Reflectande, trasmitance, Aethalometer, MAAP) • Thermal (EC/OC) • NIOSH, Improve, EUCAARI, VDI • Photo-acoustic (measures heat generated by absorbedradiation)

  11. OpticalMethods • Sampling on filter matrix • Measurementofmodificationof filter opticalproperties by the sampled PM • Assumptionof Beer-Lambert law for data analyses • Responsedepends on filter loading and interaction betweenradiation, particles, and filter - requirescorrections

  12. OpticalMethods • Multi-angle absorption photometer – bothreflection and transmission – 2-stream modelappliedtoevaluateresults, no corrections

  13. Thermalmethods • Simple optical methods (oxidizing atmosphere, rizing T) • Two-step methods (thermal pre-treatment to remove OC) • Thermal-optical (optical correction for charring OC) • Thermal stability and the optical correction can be affected by presence of sulphate and metals in the PM

  14. Thermal-optical method

  15. Comparison of different optical and thermal methods (ship emissions) Different filter type for EC and BC

  16. Comparison EC/BC – typically in range 0.7-1.3 EPA, 2012

  17. Emission estimates • From emission factors for EC/BC for individual sources • Traffic: HDV wo DPF 45-150 mg/vkm, HDV w DPF 9-16 mg/vkm, PC w catalyst 1-2 mg/vkm PC petrol EURO 5+ 0.1-0.3 mg/vkm PC diesel EURO 5+ 0.1-1 mg/vkm • Residential wood burning 0.043 – 3.5 g BC/kg wood (Kuipiainen & Klimont, 2007) Samaras, 2012

  18. Emission estimates • From PM inventory and BC/PM ratio of the individual sources

  19. Emission estimates • From PM inventory and BC/PM ratio of the individual sources TRANSPHORM, van den Ghon, 2012

  20. Emission factors for BC – effectof sampling Figure 5 Composition of PM (as mg/m3 exhaust gas) collected on filters in the diluted and hot exhaust gas (Moldanová et al., 2009).
