The aim of this work was to evaluate the emission of nitrous oxide (N2O) using a diesel engine at laboratory scale without a catalytic converter with diesel/biodiesel blends (%) of 95:5 (B5), 90:10 (B10), 85:15 (B15), 80:20 (B20), 75:25 (B25), and 50:50 (B50). Measurements of N2O in the exhaust gas were made using an experimental setup based on photoacoustic spectroscopy using a quantum cascade laser that was validated to be selective and sensitive in the range from 1.7 to 2.72 ppmv.

Environmental impact of combustion of ethanolic biodiesel/diesel blends from several feedstocks on the gas emission levels in the atmosphere
TLDR
Evaluated ethanolic biodiesel from several feedstocks and engine operational conditions and the effect of engine operating conditions and biodiesel content in the blends during their combustion on the exhaust emissions point to crambe and macaw as more environmentally sustainable feedstocks for biodiesel production because they generate less greenhouse gas emissions.
Photoacoustic spectroscopy for detection of N2O emitted from combustion of diesel/beef tallow biodiesel/sugarcane diesel and diesel/beef tallow biodiesel blends
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an important greenhouse gas. Emissions of this gas are generated by the combustion of fossil fuels, mainly in the transportation sector worldwide. Biofuel is a promising…

Photoacoustic Spectroscopy for the Quantification of N2O in the Off-Gas of Wastewater Treatment Plants.
TLDR
Different configurations of photoacoustic setups for the online-measurement of gaseous N2O, employing semiconductor lasers at 2.9 and 4.5 μm, were developed and tested and found that the use of a quantum-cascade laser emitting at about 4.53 μm yielded the highest sensitivity, but also observed a strong cross-sensitivity to humidity.

Quartz crystal microbalance and photoacoustic measurements in dental photocuring.
TLDR
Two techniques, Quartz Crystal Microbalance and Photoacoustic Spectroscopy, were used to monitor the real-time cure and to obtain the optical absorption spectra of resins, respectively, and the results confirmed the advantages of using PAS and QCM to study polymerisation kinetics.
