Soot Nanostructure And Its Impact Upon The O2 Oxidation RateStudies of soot oxidation have ranged from in situ flame studies to shock tubes to flow reactors. Each of these systems possesses particular advantages and limitations related to temperature, time and chemical environments. Despite the aforementioned differences, these soot oxidation investigations share three striking features. First and foremost is the wide variation in the rates of oxidation. Reported oxidation rates vary by factors of +6 to - 20 relative to the Nagle Strickland-Constable (NSC) rate for graphite oxidation [3]. Rate variations are not surprising, as the temperatures, residence times, types of oxidants and methods of oxidation differ from study to study. Nevertheless, a valid explanation for rate differences of this magnitude has yet to be presented.
