Abstract
Several relevant models of nanoparticle formation and reformation in the atmosphere are underlined: the mechanism of forming fine ash particles in coal-fired thermal power plants; carbon particulates formed either directly or through partial oxidation intermediates; acid rain, bases, ammonia, saline or oxide particulates formation mechanism. For solid or liquid particulate matter of organic nature present in the atmosphere, the phases of the partial oxidation of organic compounds and the dioxin and furan generation in various combustion systems are presented. The mechanism of reforming these compounds from flue gas through de novo syntheses initiated through the conversion of carbon dioxide into formose is also described.
