Özet

In this study, the removal of black smoke emitted from diesel engine exhaust was investigated with the utilization of pumice ore as a filtration raw material. Black smoke involves fine and ultrafine particles containing elemental carbon and organic compounds. The harmful effects on the environment and human health of these particles are better understood in recent years. The characterization of pumice ore received from Menderes-Izmir found out in terms of its physical, chemical, mineralogical, thermal and microscopic properties in order to define the filtration properties of it. The filtration efficiency of black smoke from diesel engine exhaust increased with the decreasing particle size fractions of pumice ore and the best result was obtained in 1x0.5 mm size fractions. The filtration efficiency was increased with the increasing operating time of six-cylinder diesel truck engine and it reached to 95.00% at 150 minutes.
