AbstractUsing selected additives, the pH of smoke from U.S. commercial cigarettes (5.6) can be altered over a wide range (4.1-8.2). The volatility of the additive is of greater importance in changing smoke pH than the acidic or basic strength of the additive. The activated carbon in multiple carbon-cellulose acetate filters is highly effective in removing pyridine selectively from the smoke of blended commercial cigarettes. The degree of this selectivity is markedly reduced on lowering the smoke pH to 4.1 by adding formic acid to cigarettes. On raising the pH of smoke to 8.2 by adding dipropylamine to cigarettes, the selectivity for pyridine is less than in smoke of unaltered pH and more than in smoke of pH 4.1. Some selectivity of nicotine removal is observed in the alkaline smoke using cellulose acetate filters with or without carbon. The use of formic acid to depress pH appears to alter the kinetics of nicotine pyrolysis, resulting in a changed nicotine : pyridine ratio.

Regional mandates for reduced exhaust emissions, sustainable over the useful lives of vehicles or equipment, are influencing diesel fuel compositions and engine designs. Laboratory and real-world examples are provided to illustrate that both fuel composition and engine design can impact injector deposit formation and injector spray-hole corrosion rates, with associated potentials for deterioration of emissions compliance. Potential impacts of poor lubricity fuels are also discussed. A field test in California of a deposit control additive in trucks with Cummins L10 engines is detailed, including measurements of transient cycle emissions performance using conventional and reformulated fuels.

AbstractThe adsorption of citrate and phosphocitrate on calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) surfaces has been measured in saturated solutions of calcium oxalate monohydrate at 37°C. In separate adsorption experiments, the uptake of phosphocitrate was markedly greater than that of citrate. When both additives were present, the adsorption of phosphocitrate was further increased. In constant composition studies of the crystallization of CON from supersaturated solution, phosphocitrate was more effective as an inhibitor than was citrate.
