These researchers have investigated this mode of combustion—PREmixed Mixture Ignition in the End-gas Region (PREMIER)—in previous studies with natural gas. Because of mixture autoignition in the end-gas region ahead of the propagating flame front, a transition occurs resulting in a rapid increase in the heat release rate.

Under laboratory-simulated diesel exhaust conditions, this mixed-phase oxide material was superior to Pt in terms of cost, thermal durability, and catalytic activity for NO oxidation. Oxidation of engine-generated NO to NO 2 is critical in diesel engine emission control for reducing NO x and carbon soot from the tail-pipe exhaust.

Researchers at Environment Canada have found that vehicle exhaust is a significant source of isocyanic acid (HNCO), a toxic gaseous acid that is a product of various forms of combustion and a potential health concern. Automobile exhaust is also a known source of inorganic acids such as nitric (HNO 3 ) and nitrous (HONO) acids.
