This study was set out to characterize particulate emissions from transportation diesel engine in terms of heavy metals. The exhaust particulates from Mahindra DI engine were collected and analyzed at four different engine operating conditions namely idling, 40%, 70% and full load. It was found that as the load increases from idling to full load, the heavy metal content in particulates graduall...

Catalytic and noncatalytic copyrolysis of plastic heavy oil was studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), pyrolysis reactor experiments, GC the formed liquid. As revealed by TGA predegradation as a pretreatment method had further lowered decomposition temperature polypropylene– (PP?) bitumen mixtures reduced severity catalyst deactivation coke. The presence PP in increased liquid yield de...
