dc.descriptionAir emissions from the combustion of AGO, PMS and DPK were characterized for gaseous air pollutants using an E8500 combustion gas analyzer. The measured concentrations were used to calculate the emission factors of the pollutants. The emission factors for the gaseous emission from AGO were for 10 ml of AGO, HC was 4.584E-05 g/l, CO was 1.633E-05 g/l, NOx was 0.00021 g/l, and zero values were recorded for both CO2 and SO2; for 50 ml of AGO, HC was 0.000142 g/l, NOx was 0.001516 g/l and zero values were recorded for both CO, CO2 and SO2. From PMS were for 10 ml of PMS, HC was 6.9846E-05 g/l, CO was 0.00017 g/l, NOx was 0.00034 g/l, and zero values were recorded for both CO2 and SO2; for 50 ml of PMS, HC was 8.731E-05 g/l, CO was 0.000213 g/l, NOx was 0.0008 g/l, SO2 was 3.76E-06 g/l and CO2 was 0.0066 g/l. From DPK were for 10 ml of DPK, HC was 3.4923E-05 g/l, CO was 2.1667E-05 g/l, NOx was 0.000089 g/l, and zero values were recorded for both CO2 and SO2; for 50 ml of DPK, HC was 6.1115E-05 g/l, CO was 4.0667E-05 g/l, NOx was 0.000191 g/l and SO2 was 2.667E-06 g/l. This study shows that For 10 ml, DPK had the minimum emission factor for HC, AGO had the minimum emission factor for CO, DPK had the minimum emission factor for NOx. For 50 ml, AGO had the minimum emission factor for CO, SO2, DPK had the minimum emission factor for HC, NOx. Therefore, AGO and DPK can act as a source of fuel with the best sustainable environmental effects.
