About this Research Topic
Combustion is a driving force of human society and scientific technology, with nearly 80% of the global energy consumption coming from the combustion of fossil fuels. However, fuel combustion also accounts for the vast majority of air pollutants and CO2 emission. Due to its harm to the ecological environment and human health, it is urgent to evaluate and control them. Fundamentally, in-depth understanding of the formation mechanism can directly reduce pollutant generation during combustion processes. Practically, accurate diagnosis and efficient combustion strategy are effective means to reduce emissions. Moreover, the impact of combustion pollution on human health and the environment should also be evaluated.
The aim of this Research Topic is to study combustion pollution from multiple dimensions, such as the formation mechanism, hazard assessment, emission control, etc. Through a wide range of numerical simulations and experiments, it is expected to clarify the formation mechanism of pollutants and reveal the effects of various factors on combustion pollution. On this basis, cleaner combustion strategies and more accurate combustion diagnosis technologies could be proposed and developed. The research on control methods of combustion pollutants aims at effectively reducing emission during combustion and related energy conversion. Finally, this Research Topic also aims to establish the related energy policies and emission standards.
This Research Topic seeks a wide range of submissions related to the control and assessment of combustion pollutants, which include but are not limited to the following topics:
1. Experimental measurements or simulation prediction of pollutants emission of various fuel types and/or under wide combustion conditions.
2. Understanding of formation mechanism and chemical reaction pathway of pollutants during combustion processes.
3. Development of combustion strategies or advanced combustion technology related to emission reduction and clean energy conversion.
4. Updating of combustion diagnostic techniques concerned with combustion pollutant assessment.
5. Health effect of combustion pollution, including the evaluation of hazard degree and analysis of influence mechanism.
