Abstract
A literature survey has been carried out on the formation of soot from flames, in particular as relevant to fires. The properties of soot are very similar irrespec tive of the origin, but the effects of various parameters and additives are significantly different for diffusion flames and premixed flames. If the fuel is polymeric, the chemical structure of the polymer and its thermal breakdown mechanism will govern the amount of soot produced.Keywords
