Abstract:In order to clarify the physicochemical characteristics of the particulate matter emissions of heavy fuel oil(HFO) of a large power low-speed engine, the microscopic morphology, surface functional groups and surface elements of HFO particles were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS), and were compared with the diesel particulate matter characteristics of high-speed engines in vehicles. The results showed that the HFO particles of the large-power low-speed marine engine were in the agglomerated state with individual large spherical particles of about 3 μm diameter, which were found to be different from those of automotive diesel particles. In addition to a large number of C and O elements adsorbed on the surface of HFO particles, a certain amount of Si, Ca, Cu, Al, Na, Zn, Ba, Cl, K, S and other elements were also found. These elements are related to the fuel itself and the cylinder lubrication, so the heavy fuel oil particles have higher toxicity. No obvious C=O in the spectral range of 1 750 cm-1~1 630 cm-1 was found in the HFO particles.
