Abstract
10
The number and mass size distributions of refractory black carbon (rBC) cores in particles
11
emitted from a diesel vehicle were investigated as a function of particle mobility diameter
12
(dmob) using a single particle soot photometer (SP2) and a differential mobility analyzer
13
(DMA). The thickness and mass of coatings on the rBC cores were characterized. Based on
14
the SP2 and DMA results, the physical properties of particles containing rBC, including
15
effective density (ρeff), mass-mobility exponent (Dm), dynamic shape factor (χ) and mass
16
absorption cross section (MAC) were derived as a function of dmob. At each dmob, the count
17
median diameter (CMD) of the rBC cores was essentially the same as their mass median
18
diameter (MMD), which increased linearly with dmob. The mass of the rBC cores was
19
proportional to the cubic of their dmob. However, coating thickness on rBC cores remained
20
unchanged with dmob, with an average thickness of (28.72±4.81) nm. For particles containing
21
rBC, ρeff decreased and χ increased with dmob. The Dm of particles containing rBC was
22
calculated to be 2.09. At 355 and 532 nm wavelengths, the MAC of the diesel particles
23
containing rBC was inversely dependent on dmob.

Introduction
57
Black carbon (BC) originates from incomplete combustion of fossil and biomass fuels and
58
represents an important constituent of atmospheric aerosols, with an estimated global
59
emission rate of 4.3-22 Tg·year-1.1 BC is responsible for significant environmental effects on
60
regional and global scales. As an efficient light absorber, BC plays an important role in
61
climate change, ranking as the second strongest contributor to global warming after carbon
62
dioxide.2, 3 BC has the potentials to act as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei
63
(IN), influencing cloud formation and precipitation.4-7 Due to its large specific surface area,
64
BC can provide reactive sites for heterogeneous reactions of various species, such as ·OH,8
65
O3,9-12 NO2,13-15 HNO3,16 and H2SO4.17 In addition, BC may cause adverse health effects by
66
penetrating into human pulmonary and vascular systems, resulting in respiratory and
67
cardiovascular diseases.18-20
68
Diesel engines contribute about 37% of energy-related BC emissions on a global basis.21
69
BC particle emissions from diesel engines depend on fuel composition, engine operating
70
conditions, exhaust after-treatment technologies, and driving and environmental conditions.
71
For example, the changes in the ratio of biodiesel to diesel in engines affect the particle
72
number concentrations.22, 23 Particles of higher elemental carbon contents are produced at
73
high diesel engine loads, whereas the particles of higher organic carbon contents are
74
generated at low diesel engine loads.24 Fuel injection pressure and timing have an impact on
75
the combustion process in engine cylinder and thus influence the size distributions of diesel
76
exhaust particles.25-27 The use of diesel particulate filter effectively removes particulate
77
matter from diesel exhaust and significantly reduces the particle number and mass
78
concentrations,28, 29 leading to variations of nucleation mode particles.30 Other factors, such as
79
road gradient and traffic density, change driving patterns and have been shown to affect the
80
diesel engine particle emission characteristics.31
81
The climate effects associated with BC particles are sensitive to their sizes.32 In model
82
calculations, ignoring changes in the size distributions of BC particles can result in high
83
uncertainties in predicting BC-induced CCN concentrations and precipitation.32-34
84
Size-dependent single scattering albedo of fresh biomass burning particles has been measured
85
by Singh et al.,35 who found significant effects of fresh BC particle size on their intrinsic 3

86
optical properties. The radiative properties of BC aggregates are also related to the monomer
87
size distributions; it has been reported that aggregates with different-sized monomers
88
exhibited stronger scattering and absorption than that with same-sized monomers.36
89
Studies have suggested that wet deposition is a dominant mechanism to remove BC
90
particles, which determines their atmospheric lifetime and transport.37 Size-dependent wet
91
removal of BC has been found, which indicates that particles containing larger BC are
92
preferentially removed.37, 38 Upon emission into the atmosphere, BC particles undergo aging
93
processes such as phase partitioning of organic species and heterogeneous reaction with
94
oxidants,39-42 leading to changes in BC particle properties such as morphology, composition,
95
hygroscopicity, single scattering albedo, and chemical reactivity.5,
96
depends on their original sizes at the emission point. For example, during BC particle aging
97
by condensable species, the evolution in the particle size, mass and morphology is dependent
98
on the sizes of freshly emitted BC particles.41, 42 Such dependency shows that the changes in
99
the environmental effects of BC particles resulting from aging also rely on the sizes of freshly
100
emitted BC particles. To better evaluate the degree of changes of BC particle properties in the
101
atmosphere, it is important to measure the dependence of the composition and morphology of
102
freshly emitted particles containing BC on their sizes.

BC particle aging
103
In this work, the size distribution of particles in diesel truck exhaust was monitored by a
104
scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS). By coupling a single particle soot photometer (SP2)
105
to a differential mobility analyzer (DMA), the number and mass distributions of the refractive
106
black carbon (rBC) cores in particles were investigated as a function of mobility diameter.
107
The coating thickness on the rBC cores was also characterized by the SP2. Mass-mobility
108
relationships were estimated for particles containing rBC, and their physical properties, such
109
as effective density, dynamic shape factor, and mass absorption cross section, were derived as
110
a function of mobility diameter.

Experimental Section
113
Particle Generation. A diesel truck (GMC, 2004, TopKick, C7500), equipped with a diesel
114
engine (Caterpillar C7, 7.2 L, Diesel I-6), was used in the experiments. Measurements were
115
made with the Canadian Regional and Urban Investigation System for Environmental 4

Research (CRUISER). The vehicle idle mode exhaust was drawn into a specially designed
117
flow tube where it was diluted with zero air supplied by a pure-air generator (AADCO
118
Instrument, Cleves, OH, USA). The flow tube consisted of a stainless steel cylinder (20 cm
119
inner diameter and 127 cm length) and two stainless steel cones (20 cm inner diameter and 45
120
cm length each) connected to the cylinder on both ends. The exhaust flow rate into the flow
121
tube was 0.1-0.9 L min-1 and was diluted by 27 L min-1 of zero air, resulting in a dilution ratio
122
of 30-270. The residence time in the flow tube was 1.8 min.
123
Particle Measurements. The number and mass size distributions of the diesel particles were
124
determined using a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS, TSI model 3080), which
125
consisted of a differential mobility analyzer (DMA, TSI model 3081) and a condensation
126
particle counter (CPC, TSI model 3775). The rBC cores in the particles and the coating
127
thickness on the rBC cores were measured by a single particle soot photometer (SP2; Droplet
128
Measurement Technologies). In addition, particles in the exhaust were first size selected by a
129
DMA, and the monodisperse particles were directed to the SP2 to measure their rBC core
130
masses and coating thickness. This was repeated for particles of different mobility diameters.
131
The principles of the SP2 have been described in detail elsewhere.45, 46 Calibration of the
132
SP2 was performed for the incandescence and scattering signals using fullerene soot particles
133
(Alpha Aesar; Lot #FS12S011) and polystyrene latex spheres (Thermo Scientific),
134
respectively. The mass of rBC cores was proportional to the incandescence signals of the SP2.
135
Mass equivalent diameter (DMEV) of the rBC cores can be calculated using the measured rBC
136
mass and a recommended rBC density of 1.8 g cm-3.47 DMEV is referred as the diameter of a
137
sphere containing the same mass of rBC as measured in the particle.
138
The SP2 scattering signal amplitudes from rBC-containing particles were obtained by a
139
leading-edge-only (LEO) fitting method,48 which were further used to determine the optical
140
diameter (Dp) of the particles. A concentric core-shell spherical structure for the particles
141
containing rBC was assumed to determine the Dp using Mie theory calculations.49, 50 The
142
thickness (Tcoatings) of the coatings on the rBC cores was calculated by (Dp-DMEV)/2. For the
143
same scattering amplitude measured by the SP2, the optical size of a truly spherical particle is
144
smaller than a particle with the same mass but of other shapes because a sphere has a larger
145
scattering cross section compared to other shapes.48 Hence, the core-shell structure 5

146
assumption may lead to a lower estimation for the coating thickness.
147
Morphology. Several parameters, including effective density, mass-mobility scaling
148
exponent and dynamic shape factor, are used to characterize the morphology of the diesel
149
exhaust particles containing rBC. The particle effective density (ρeff) links mobility size with
150
particle mass, and the ρeff is defined as

(1)
152
where m is the mass of a particle containing rBC from the sum of the rBC core and coating
153
masses; dmob is the mobility diameter of the particle determined using the DMA. The rBC
154
core mass is measured by the SP2, and the coating mass is determined from
155
ρπ((DMEV+2Tcoatings)3-(DMEV)3)/6, where ρ is the density of the coating and is taken as 1.3 g
156

scales with its mobility diameter, is determined using the equation 2,

168

169
Optical Properties. Diesel particles containing rBC usually consist of chain aggregates of
170
spherules.51 In order to exactly calculate the absorption cross sections of rBC-containing
171
particles, the Rayleigh-Debye-Gans (RDG) approximation is used to simulate the 6

rBC-containing particle aggregates as a cluster of rBC spherules coated by organic carbon

(OC). The absorption cross section (σabs, cluster) of the aggregate can be obtained by21

where Nspherule is the number of spherules, Rspherule is the radius of each spherule, Qabs, Rayleigh is

177
complex refractive index (RI) of the spherule. Based on the spherule size ranges reported,21, 52
178
Rspherule is assumed to be 25 nm. It is noted that larger Rspherule leads to larger σabs, cluster and a
179
slight increase of the mass absorption cross section (MAC).21 The number of spherules is

Results and Discussion
199
Size distribution of rBC cores. Figure S1 shows the mobility size distribution of all particles
200
in the diesel vehicle exhaust. A mode for number size distribution was observed in the 10-500
201
nm range, with a mode diameter of 55 nm and a geometric mean diameter of 55.7±3.6 nm
202
(Figure S1A). In comparison, the mode diameter for the mass size distribution was 175 nm
203
(Figure S1B). This suggests that although smaller particles (100 nm) are the main contributor to the mass concentration.
205
Figure 1A shows the number size distribution of the rBC cores in the diesel exhaust
206
particles, exhibiting a single mode from lognormal function fitting, with a geometric standard
207
deviation of 1.15 for the lognormal function. The count median diameter (CMD) of the rBC
208
cores was 176 nm, which was larger than that those (100-150 nm) reported for rBC from
209
biomass burning.37 As seen in Figure 1B, the mass size distribution of the rBC cores also
210
exhibited a lognormal pattern, with a geometric standard deviation of 1.16. The mass median
211
diameter (MMD) of the rBC cores was 190 nm. This value was slightly larger than that (180
212
nm) measured for heavy-duty diesel vehicles on road,55 which may be attributed to the
213
dependence of the rBC core size distribution on driving conditions. Larger black carbon
214
particles have been observed for a diesel engine and a gasoline vehicle in idle.56, 57 It was
215
found that congested conditions on a highway, where vehicles were operated at low speeds or
216
idle conditions, led to the largest MMD of rBC, compared to free flowing traffic on the same
217
highway.58 The MMD of the rBC cores measured in the present study was greater than
218
on-road measurements (120-150 nm),55, 58 which may be related to the type of fuels used in
219
the vehicles or the engine operation conditions.59 Liggio et al. found that with progressively
220
lower fractions of heavy-duty diesel vehicles on road, the mode diameter of rBC cores shifted
221
to smaller sizes.55

225 226
Figure S2A-F and Figure S3A-F summarize a series of number and mass size distributions
227
of the rBC cores as a function of mass equivalent diameter for six sets of monodisperse diesel
228
engine exhaust particles at different dmob that were pre-size selected by the DMA. The
229
number and mass size distributions exhibited a two-mode lognormal distribution representing
230
singly and doubly charged particles formed during the DMA selection process. The present
231
analysis focuses on the singly charged particles. As expected, the mode positions of both
232
number and mass distributions on the mass equivalent diameters of the rBC cores changed
233
with dmob, shifting to larger mass equivalent diameters with an increase in dmob. As shown in
234
Table S1, The MMD of the rBC cores shifted from 85 nm mass equivalent diameter at 125
235
nm dmob to 173 nm at 300 nm dmob. It is noteworthy that the value of CMD is close to that of
236
MMD at the same dmob. Additionally, Figure S4A-J and S5A-J showed that the CMD and
237
MMD values of the rBC cores remained essentially unchanged as the exhaust was diluted at
238
different ratios.
239
As shown in Figure S2 and S3, the mode ranges of the number size distributions of the rBC
240
cores were similar to those of the mass size distributions. Thus, MMD is used as the main
241
physical property parameter in the following analysis and discussion. Figure 2 displays the
242
MMD evolution of the rBC cores as a function of particle mobility diameter dmob. The MMD
243
depended linearly on the dmob. The corresponding mass of the rBC cores at the MMD also
244
had an increasing trend with increasing dmob. As seen in Figure 2, the mass of the rBC cores 9
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Environmental Science & Technology
245
at the MMD was proportional to the cubic of dmob. It increased from 0.58 fg at 125 nm dmob to
246
4.88 fg at 300 nm dmob.

Size Dependence of Coating Thickness and Mass on rBC cores. Figure 3A shows that the
252
coating thickness remained unchanged within uncertainties with increasing dmob. This agrees
253
well with the observations of Fujitani et al. using transmission electron microscopy, who
254
found an independence of coating thickness of particles emitted from diesel engines on
255
dmob.60 The average coating thickness at different dmob was calculated to be (28.72±4.81) nm.
256
This value was markedly smaller than the coating thickness (50-130 nm) of urban particles
257
associated with traffic emissions, which are atmospherically aged, resulting in much thicker
258
coatings.61 As shown in Figure 3B, the relative coating thickness, defined as the ratio (Dp/Dc)
259
of particle diameter (Dp, from coating thickness plus core diameter) to rBC core diameter
260
(Dc), had a small decreasing trend with increasing dmob. Dp/Dc slightly reduced from
261
(1.64±0.20) at 125 nm dmob to (1.39±0.18) at 300 nm dmob.
262
Assuming a coating density of 1.3 g cm-3,21 the coating mass can be calculated on the basis
263
of average coating thickness and rBC core diameter at the MMD. Figure 3C displays that the
264
coating mass increased as a function of dmob. The coating mass at 300 nm dmob was
265
(5.93±1.59) fg and larger by a factor of 4.1 than that at 125 nm dmob. Nevertheless, the
266
coating to rBC core mass ratio exhibited a decrease with dmob (Figure 3D). It was (2.48±0.62) 10
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 10 of 24
Page 11 of 24
Environmental Science & Technology
267
and (1.22±0.33) at 125 and 300 nm dmob, respectively, which were in the reported range
268
(0.27-5.5) of the coating to rBC core mass ratio.21, 62, 63

273
MMD. Error bars were derived from the standard deviation of the average coating thickness.
274 275
Size Dependence of Morphology of Particles Containing rBC. Figure 4A shows the
276
effective density of particles containing rBC as a function of dmob. The effective density was
277
observed to decrease with dmob, which was related to the fact that larger BC aggregates have
278
more branched and open structures than smaller BC aggregates.64, 65 The effective density
279
(ρeff) decreased from (1.97±0.33) g/cm3 at 125 nm dmob to (0.77±0.13) g/cm3 at 300 nm dmob.
280
Figure 5A shows that the effective density markedly increased with increasing the coating
281
to rBC core mass ratio in the particles. Rissler et al. also found larger effective densities for
282
particles with higher OC mass contents generated from diesel engines.62 By filling the
283
internal voids of rBC aggregates, the coatings on diesel particles can lead to increases in the
284
effective density. The trend of increasing effective density with increasing coating mass is
285
similar to observations of gradual increases in the effective density of soot particles during
286
atmospheric aging process, which is attributed to the restructuring of black carbon aggregates
287
by the condensation of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) produced from the oxidation of 11

diameter; (B) the mass-mobility relationship of diesel particles containing rBC; (C) the
292
dynamic shape factor of particles containing rBC as a function of mobility diameter. The
293
mass of particles containing rBC was the total mass of the rBC core at the MMD plus that of
294
the coating. Error bars were derived from the standard deviation of the mass of coatings.
295 296
Figure 4B shows that the mass-mobility relationships of the diesel particles containing rBC
297
can be well described using a power law function, which allowed the mass-mobility exponent
298
(Dm) of the particles containing rBC to be derived at 2.09 using Eq 2. A Dm value of lower
299
than 3.0 indicates a fractal and non-spherical morphology of particles containing rBC.
300
The dynamic shape factor (χ) represents an important parameter to characterize the
301
morphology of rBC-containing particles. The value of χ is 1 for a spherical particle without
302
cavities. Figure 4C shows the changes in χ of particles containing rBC as a function of dmob.
303
The χ exhibited an increasing trend with dmob, indicating more non-spherical shape for larger
304
particles. The χ increased from (1.60±0.20) at 125 nm dmob to (2.23±0.29) at 300 nm dmob.
305
As shown in Figure 5B, the coatings played an important role in the shape factor χ. The
306
value of χ decreased with an increase in the coating to rBC core mass ratio. This suggests that
307
the particles with a higher coating to rBC core mass ratio have a more spherical shape. There
308
are two processes that may cause the decrease in χ due to an organic coating increase: (1)
309
organic materials may fill the voids between monomer rBC granule aggregates and smooth
310
the particle surfaces; and (2) the organics may cause the restructuring of the rBC cores.42 The
311
second process is likely less important for freshly emitted diesel particles; it has been
312
reported that insignificant restructuring occurred for fresh BC particles of variable intrinsic 12

313
OC content.66 This suggests that the first process is likely the major factor in the decrease of χ
314
and a more spherical shape.

Size Dependence of the Optical Properties of Particles Containing rBC. On the basis of
321
the RDG calculations, Figure 6A displays the absorption cross section (σ) of the diesel
322
particles containing rBC at 355 and 532 nm as a function of dmob. The σ showed an increasing
323
trend with increasing dmob. The σ at ultraviolet wavelength (355 nm) was larger than that at
324
visible wavelength (532 nm).
325
Figure 6B shows the mass absorption cross section (MAC) of diesel particles containing
326
rBC at 355 and 532 nm as a function of dmob. The MAC at 355 nm was higher than that at 532
327
nm, which is attributed to the wavelength dependence shown in Equation 5. For either light
328
wavelength, the MAC of the particles was dependent on dmob. The derived MAC value was
329
9.79 and 7.97 m2 g-1 for 125 nm dmob at 355 and 532 nm, respectively, whereas it decreased to
330
7.75 and 6.91 m2 g-1 for 300 nm dmob at 355 and 532 nm, respectively.
331
Intrinsic OC has an important influence on the optical properties of fresh soot. As shown in
332
Figure 6C, the MAC increased with an increase in the mass ratio of coating to rBC core,
333
which may be attributed to the lensing effect of the coating. Absorption enhancement of soot
334
particles containing rBC has been reported due to organic coatings generated during
335
atmospheric aging process.42, 67, 68 For example, a coating of toluene-OH oxidation products 13
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Environmental Science & Technology
336
or succinic acid increased the light absorption of soot particles by 5%.42, 69 The enhancement
337
from secondary organic aerosol (SOA) coatings was attributed to lensing and restructuring
338
effects, which required a sufficient OC coating thickness.69, 70

342
of the mass absorption cross section (MAC) versus the coating to rBC core mass ratio in the
343
particles of different mobility diameters. The mass of particles containing rBC was the mass
344
of the rBC core at the MMD plus that of the coating. Error bars were derived from the
345
standard deviation of the mass of coating.

Discussion and Implications. Based on the SP2 and DMA results in this work, the effective
348
density, mass-mobility exponent, dynamic shape factor, and mass absorption cross section of
349
particles containing rBC from a diesel engine were derived at different dmob. In previous
350
studies, these properties of particles emitted by diesel engines and other fuel combustion,
351
containing rBC or not, have been investigated by different combinations of instruments, such
352
as an aerosol particle mass analyzer (APM)42, 62, 71-74, a centrifugal particle mass analyzer
353
(CPMA)43 or an aerodynamic aerosol classifier (AAC)75, all coupled with a DMA. It should
354
be pointed out that SP2 was highly sensitive to particles containing rBC, while APM, CPMA
355
or AAC cannot distinguish particles with and without rBC. Although the values of properties
356
derived by the combination of SP2 and DMA were close to those obtained through APM,
357
CPMA or AAC, the former detected particles containing rBC specifically while the others
358
measured all particles including rBC and non-rBC particles. Recently, the morphology and
359
density of ambient aerosols containing rBC have been measured using the DMA-SP2 14

360
instrument combination.76 Here, this system was used to characterize the size distribution and
361
coating thickness of the rBC cores in the particles generated from a diesel truck, the results of
362
which were used to evaluate the morphological and optical properties of the rBC particles
363
only. The results increase current outstanding of the physical and optical nature of particles
364
containing rBC in the diesel exhaust.
365
The characterization of morphology and optical property of diesel rBC particles can be
366
compared with those from diesel engines and fuel flame sources. The ρeff (0.77-1.97 g/cm3)
367
was larger than those in previous measurements of soot from diesel engines (0.30-0.82 g/cm3)
368
and propane flame (0.18-0.41 g/cm3) and of aerosols in urban environment (0.26-1.40 g/cm3)
369
dominated by traffic emission.62, 73 The Dm (2.09) was slightly lower than the reported Dm
370
range (2.28-2.56) of particles emitted from light-duty and heavy-duty diesel vehicles at
371
idling,62 and smaller than the Dm (2.40) of particles sampled on road in an urban center.73 The
372
χ (1.60-2.23) was within the χ range (1.02-4.61) of particles generated from the shock-tube
373
combustion with diesel as fuel at variable temperature.72
374
The MAC value (6.91-7.97 m2 g-1) at 532 nm was close to that (6.76-7.02 m2 g-1 at 532 nm)
375
of BC particles in other diesel vehicle exhaust, calculated by the same RDG method.21 It was
376
also in agreement with the reported range (7.5±1.2 m2 g-1) for MAC of freshly emitted
377
particles comprised of light-absorbing carbon from fossil fuel combustion.47 Zangmeister et
378
al. summarized that the reported MAC range of diesel engine generated aerosol at 514-532
379
nm was 7.4-17 m2 g-1 with an average of (9.5±3.3) m2 g-1.77 In comparison, a MAC value of
380
8.70 m2 g-1 at 532 nm was reported for soot particles from incomplete propane combustion.17
381
For flame soot particles from different fuels (ethylene, kerosene, diesel, and paraffin), MAC
382
ranges between 3.8 m2 g-1 and 8.6 m2 g-1 at 550 nm.77
383
Variations in the morphological and optical properties of rBC-containing particles from
384
different sources may be related to combustion conditions,72 such as fuel/oxygen ratio and
385
nature of fuels, which significantly influenced the size, composition and structure of rBC
386
particles.24, 51, 59 In particular, the properties of rBC particles markedly rely on their size,24 as
387
shown in the present study. The source and size dependent characteristics suggest that climate
388
models on the impact of rBC particles should carefully distinguish assumptions of these rBC
389
particle properties, in order to obtain more exact estimation results. 15
