Motivation – climate change
Internal combustion engines and
furnaces produce black carbon.
Agricultural fires also produce
brown/organic carbon.

Motivation – health impact
• SARS correlation with air pollution
index in China (Cui et al. 2003)
• Preprint from Harvard shows 1 μg/m3
in PM2.5 is associated with an 2-15%
increase in COVID-19 death rate? (Wu
et al. medRxiv 2020)
• Particulates as carrier of the virus? As
with influenza and measles (Setti et al.
2020)
• Is it due to copollutant NOx?
(Ogen 2020, Martelletti et al. 2020)

Carbon black... ApplicationsPigment blacks
• Used for printing inks – particle size and surface determine colour and viscosity
• The coating sector uses jet black – oxidised, fine particles
• Plastic industry – fine particles for UV resistance and for anti-static, e.g. power cables, carbon brushes and electrodes
• Paper industry – medium size particles – decoration
• Construction industry – coarse particles
mk306@cam.ac.uk Markus KRAFT 15
Reinforcing and rubber blacks
• Discovered by accident in the 19th
century• Replaced zinc oxide• Eliminates the stickiness of rubber
• Active blacks• E.g. tires – size: 20 nm
• Semi-active • E.g. floor mats – size: 50 nm
• Characterised by size, surface area and after treatment
• More than 90% of carbon black for the rubber industry

• A coagulation efficiency model for soot was proposed based on the interaction energy between the colliding partners and their kinetic energy.

REMD - simulation set upThe following PAH clusters were considered: circumcoronene (CIR) / coronene (COR) and ovalene (OVA) /
pyrene (PYR), each in ratios of 16 / 16 and 50 / 50.
Simulations were initiated in four non-equilibrium configurations: (a) randomly mixed, (b) janus, and (c,d) two
core-shell structures.
A position potential (Epos) was applied to restrain all atoms to a spherical volume to prevent evaporation.

“Once coagulated they will quickly become chemically knit together
since a significant fraction of the aromatic species are radicals”
Harris and Weiner, 1989
“..if individual PAH or their dimers undergo rapid, irreversible
reactions, the net rate of production of the soot nuclei may be
sufficiently high so that the concentration of the nuclei far exceeds
the concentrations of the reacting, intermediate species.”
Miller, 1991
“…the mass flux is likely to be driven by an irreversible process
following the dimer formation...It is also possible that a PAH dimer is
stabilized by a reaction with an aliphatic, forming a covalently bonded
link between the PAH layers... the van der Waals enhancement
should be larger than the factor of 2.2 assumed in the present study.”
