Title A name given to the resource Exploration of carbon nano dots in hydro carbon soot and carbon black Subject The topic of the resource Aromaticity and environmental pollutant; Carbon nanodots; Carbon nanostructure; Hydrocarbon soot Description An account of the resource Hydrocarbon soot, a prime component of particulate matter pollution, poses a great threat to the environment. In this study, we put forth a novel way of harnessing carbon nanodots from the soot particulates thereby converting an environmentally perilous component to an innocuous entity suitable for many applications such as biomedical tracers, gas detectors etc. Large scale production of pure carbon nanodots (PCN) was achieved via direct catalyst free thermal decomposition of kerosene and diesel. Nanostructure of carbon black and graphite is also investigated for comparative studies. In UV-Vis spectra, absorptions at 233, 232 and 229 nm are attributed to ?-?? transition of the C=C bonding. XRD of the samples shows a highly intense peak at ?24 and a slightly broadened peak around 42 due to (002) and (010) reflections of graphitic planes respectively. In IR spectra, peaks at 3431 and 1047 cm-1 were assigned to O-H and C-O stretching vibrations respectively. The band observed at 1619 cm-1 manifests the skeletal vibrations from graphitic domains and hence indicates the presence of crystalline graphitic carbon. The absorption bands at 2920 and 2850 cm-1 arise because of the existence of aliphatic groups in the soot sample. 2017, International Congress of Chemistry and Environment. All rights reserved.
