What pollutants are released from fossil fuel combustion?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides are the pollutants released from fossil fuel combustion.
Is nitrogen oxide a fossil fuel?
No. Most nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere are a product of combustion of some fossil fuel in air, when the heat of combustion is sufficient to activate reactions between atmospheric nitrogen and oxygen, but the oxides are not present in the fuel itself.
Why fossil fuel combustion is a one way path?
Combustion is a one way path, or irreversible reaction. It is not possible to have an opposite reaction to re-create oil from the many compounds that result from combustion. See link.
Is carbon found in fossil fuel?
Carbon monoxide is not a fossile fuel. CO can result from incomplete combustion of a fossil fuel. Incomplete combustion will only occur when there isn't enough oxygen to allow the fuel to react completely to produce carbon dioxide and water. It also happens when the combustion is quenched by a heat sink such as a solid surface or flame trap. For most fuels, such as diesel oil, coal or wood, pyrolysis occurs before combustion. In incomplete combustion, products of pyrolysis remain unburnt and contaminate the smoke with noxious particulate matter and gases. Partially oxidized compounds are also a concern; partial oxidation of ethanol can produce harmful acetaldehyde, and carbon can produce toxic carbon monoxide. The quality of combustion can be improved by design of combustion devices, such as burners and internal combustion engines. Further improvements are achievable by catalytic after-burning devices (such as catalytic converters) or by the simple partial return of the exhaust gases into the combustion process. Such devices are required by environmental legislation for cars in most countries, and may be necessary in large combustion devices, such as thermal power plants, to reach legalemission standards. The degree of combustion can be measured and analyzed, with test equipment. HVAC contractors, firemen and engineers use combustion analyzers to test the efficiency of a burner during the combustion process. In addition, the efficiency of an internal combustion engine can be measured in this way, and some states and local municipalities are using combustion analysis to define and rate the efficiency of vehicles on the road today.
