Low-pressure carburizing is a heat treatment process used to harden surface steel by enriching the metal with carbon atoms coming from pyrolysis of hydrocarbons. Unfortunately, at the same time, other species, considered to be proved to be carcinogenic…

Hydrocarbon pyrolysis in low-pressure gas carburizing conditions drives to gas phase reactions which lead to the production of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). These PAHs are afterwards responsible for soot formation. The aim of the…

Polycyclic Aromatic Hyrocarbons (PAHs) are chemical compounds that are sometimes highly toxic, or indeed that are considered by some to be proved carcinogens. A variety of sectors of activity cause PAH emissions: incineration, pyrolysis, diesel…

Hydrocarbon pyrolysis in low-pressure gas carburizing conditions leads to the production of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are toxic and even carcinogenic compounds. A detailed kinetic model was implemented to predict the…

Hydrocarbon pyrolysis in low-pressure gas carburizing conditions leads to gas phase reactions, whichproduce polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), some of which, such as benzo[a]pyrene, are carcino-genic. Workers can be exposed to these PAHs…
