Main objective of the work was to investigate the output like emission from compression ignition engine which has been run by diesel as well as the blends of biogas with diesel. Volume flow rate of biogas with petrol as a major parameter to reach the expected outcome. The engine was operated with diesel, and blends of biogas 15%, 25% and 35% with petrol. The study focused on the variation of outputs hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide(CO) Nitrous oxides(NOX) and smoke for the brake power generated by the engine. The engine exhibits better results when the proportion of biogas was increased.

The object of research: magnetite obtained by using the ferritic method for the purification of iron-containing solutions. Problem to be solved: a comprehensive solution to the problem of using magnetite, obtained as a result of using the ferrite method for purifying iron-containing solutions, as a catalyst for the oxidation of carbon monoxide and its further utilization in the production of building materials. The main scientific results: it has been shown that the magnetite precipitate formed during the processing of pickling solutions by the ferrite method can be used as a cheap, affordable and effective catalyst for the oxidation of carbon monoxide from flue gases of industrial enterprises, the disposal of which after long-term use does not create problems due to its stability and inertness. Field of practical use of research results: the use of the ferrite method in the purification of pickling solutions of metallurgical enterprises provides not only an increase in the efficiency of water purification, but also leads to the introduction of waste-free technology. The decisive factor will be the use of magnetite as sludge of the use of ferrite technology to solve the problem of reducing flue gas emissions from the production of electrodes for the metallurgical industry, which include toxic carbon monoxide. Innovative technology product: waste-free technology for the processing of pickling solutions by the ferrite method with the formation of a product with magnetic and catalytic properties, further processing of which consists in using red lead iron as a pigment in the production of building materials. Scope of the innovative technology product: oxidation of carbon monoxide from industrial flue gases, followed by the use of red lead as a pigment.

The extent of biomass burning in the Northern Territory, Australia, during 1992 (a year of low fire activity) was estimated using NOAA-AVHRR satellite imagery and was subsequently used to calculate the emission of gaseous compounds from biomass burning for that year. A total of 73,729 km2 was determined to have been burnt, representing 5.5% of the total Northern Territory area. The extent of biomass burning in different vegetation units in the Northern Territory was also estimated with eucalypt communities comprising 72% of the total area burnt. An estimated 29.5 x 106 tonnes of biomass was consumed by burning, resulting in the production of an estimated : 1. 11.3 Tg C as carbon dioxide, 2. 1.02 Tg C as carbon monoxide, (3) 5.23 x 10-3 Tg C as total particulate matter, 4. 26.1 x 10-3 Tg N as nitrous oxides, 5. various other trace gases. The calculated release of CO2 in this study accounts for only 41% of the estimated Australian contribution to global emmissions from biomass burning, indicating that the Australian contribution may be overestimted.

Metropolitan areas in nonattainment for transportation-related air pollutants rely on transportation control measures (TCMs) to reduce emissions and meet clean-air goals. However, since traditional transportationrelated air quality models use emission rates based on average speeds, only TCMs that either increase or decrease vehicle activity to speeds in which emissions are lower show reductions in output of air pollutants. In recent years, transportation air quality analysis has shifted to an activityspecific modeling approach that correlates emissions to vehicle operating mode. With an activity-specific approach, the emission reduction potential of a TCM can be evaluated by its ability to decrease time spent in modes in which emissions are disproportionately elevated. Signal timing improvements are attractive TCMs for traffic flow improvement. However, with traditional modeling, they may greatly decrease extremes in modal activity yet not show significant emission reduction if only moderate changes in average speed are realized. The benefits of using activityspecific modeling for evaluation of improved signal coordination as a TCM are described. A brief overview of the development of an activityspecific carbon monoxide emission rate model is provided, data collection for on-road vehicle activity estimates is briefly outlined, and a comparison of traditional emission modeling versus activity-specific modeling is provided to estimate the air quality benefits from improved coordination at a study intersection. Results for the study intersection indicate that more significant reductions in carbon monoxide emissions are realized using an activity-specific approach than with traditional methods.

Many households in Serbia, using electric thermo-accumulation furnaces for heating, have been forced to find an alternative solution, due to a significant increase in electricity prices during the last decade. A possible solution is replacing electric heating appliances with the solid fuel-fired ones. A prototype of a new concept of thermo-accumulation solid fuel-fired furnace has been developed to meet these growing needs, providing electricity saving together with considerable environmental benefits. Two strategies for reduction of carbon monoxide emission are examined in the paper: application of Pt/Al2O3 catalyst, in the form of 3 ? 0.3 mm spheres, providing further combustion of flue gases within the furnace, as well as an additional emission reduction by means of the air excess control. Experimental investigations of the catalyst influence on the conversion of carbon monoxide have been done for different operation regimes and positions of the catalyst. The paper presents selected results regarding carbon monoxide emission during wood and coal combustion. Investigations suggest a considerable effect of the catalyst and a strong influence of the catalyst position within the furnace to carbon monoxide emission reduction. In addition, experimental tests have been conducted to asses the effect of the air excess control in the furnace on carbon monoxide emission. The amount of combustion air, the flue gas flow rate, and the fuel feeding regime have been adjusted in order to keep the flue gas oxygen content in a relatively narrow range, thus obtaining controlled combustion conditions and lower carbon monoxide emission. In this way, the furnace has been made able to respond to the changes in heating needs, fuel quality and other parameters, which is advantageous in comparison with similar solid-fuel fired furnaces. .
