Addition of catalytic amounts of a suspension of ZnO in t-butyl hydroperoxide to diesel fuel improves the engine performance by increasing the mileage by about 20% and decreasing particle emission by about 50% . ... 

The characteristics of several QCM instruments for aerosol measurement have been reviewed (ll). Particles are collected by impaction, electrostatic precipitation or both. The mass sensitivity is reported to be affected by the location of deposited particles on the crystal, the size of the particles, and the type of coating. In addition, the sensitivity changes as the crystal becomes loaded. Despite some limitations, most of the studies Indicated that QCMs can be successfully used for aerosol measurement with good correlation coefficient with the reference filtration method. Applications included measurement of aerosol in ambient air, particulate emission from automobiles and diesel engines, smoke plume from a coal-fired power plant, solid fueled rocket plvune, and particulate matter in the effluents in combustion sources.
