N2 - Raman microspectroscopy (RM), which provides fingerprint spectra and allows the distinction of a wide range of chemical substances with the spatial resolution of an optical microscope, has been applied for analysis of soot and related carbonaceous materials. Using several reference samples, we found that spectral parameters determined by curve fitting with five bands (G, D1-D4) correlate with apparent elemental to total carbon ratio, provide information about degree of graphitic structural order in soot and enable a discrimination of samples. We applied RM for the investigation of size-resolved atmospheric aerosol particles and found that RM can provide qualitative and quantitative information about the composition of samples. We investigated changes in structure and reactivity of soot upon oxidation and demonstrated that RM promises to become an efficient tool for investigation and optimization of diesel exhaust after-treatment systems. Moreover, we demonstrated the potential of the photoacoustic sensor for quantitative detection of soot emission.
