SOA formation from ethyne

组内消息 2016-02-14

High lightEthyne is the lightest of the non-methane hydrocarbons, whose oxidation product, glyoxal, is an important precursor of secondary organic aerosol. This study explores the effects of relative humidity on the formation of secondary organic aerosol under irradiation in the presence of nitrogen oxides and sodium chloride. Results show that relative humidity can enhance aerosol formation, which provides evidence of the contribution of ethyne to organic particles.

The heterogeneous photochemical oxidation of ethyne was investigated under different relative humidity (RH) conditions in the presence of nitrogen oxides and sodium chloride in a self-made indoor smog chamber. The purpose was to study the influence of RH on the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from C2H2. Through the experiments, we found that SOA was rarely formed at <22% RH in the presence of NaCl seed particles, and that SOA began to be formed at ≥29 % RH in the presence of NaCl, which shows the importance of RH in the formation of SOA. The yield of SOA (YSOA) from C2H2 was 0.2 % at 51 % RH, and increased by a factor of 17.5 as RH reached 83%. The SOA yield increased with increasing RH. The geometric mean diameter of the particles increased by a factor of 1.17, 1.22, 1.28 and 1.51 at a RH of 51, 63, 74 and 83% respectively at the end of the experiment, indicating that the growth of the particle size also increased with increasing RH. Analysis of the SOA with Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry indicated that the particles generated from C2H2 contained the functional groups –OH, C=O, C–O–C and C–C–OH, for whose absorption peaks increase with increasing RH.

The formation of ozone and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from ethylene-NO x -NaCl(aerosol) irradiations was studied under various relative humidity (RH) conditions in an indoor smog chamber. In the absence of NaCl seed aerosols, SOA was hardly formed and peak O3 concentrations decreased linearly with increasing RH in ethylene irradiations. For the irradiations with NaCl seed aerosols, when RH <48% (efflorescence relative humidity of NaCl), NaCl existed as solid phase and had little effect on peak O3 concentrations. The infrared spectra from sampled particles showed that SOA was rarely formed on solid NaCl particles. However, when NaCl was in the aqueous phase as RH ≥ 48%, the peak O3 concentration was sharply reduced by over 20 % as compared to experiments without NaCl aerosol, and the absorption of NaNO3 in aerosols was coincidently increased with RH. Model results indicated that the heterogeneous reaction of N2O5 with aqueous NaCl aerosols was the main cause for the sharp decrease of O3. Besides, the absorptions from C-H, C = O, ONO2 and COO groups all greatly increased with RH. Our results show that SOA from ethylene-NOx irradiations was mainly formed through aqueous reactions. The yields of SOA from ethylene were measured to be 1.5 and 2.3% at RH of 65 and 84%, respectively.

Heterogeneous reactions of NO2 on the surface of MgO particles
Abstract:MgO is one of the most important components of mineral aerosol, and it has an important influence on the formation of secondary pollutants. The heterogeneous reaction of NO2 on MgO particles was studied using in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and ion chromatography (IC). The influences of no ultraviolet radiation(UV), ultraviolet radiation(UV), ozone (O3), temperature and relative humidity (RH) on the reaction were investigated. A new method has firstly been established to determine uptake coefficients. The main products from the heterogeneous reaction of NO2 on MgO particles were nitrate and nitrite without UV. In NO2-MgO-O3 and NO2-MgO-hv reaction systems, the main product was nitrate, and its infrared adsorption peak areas were 1.54 and 3.04 times higher than that without UV, respectively. O3 and UV were in favor of the formation of nitrate. The initial rate of nitrate, due to the rise of temperature, showed a unimodal pattern with the maximum initial rate at 40℃ under UV. More sensitive factors affecting the reaction of NO2 on MgO particles are UV and ozone, followed by relative humidity and temperature. The initial reactive uptake coefficients of NO2 on MgO particles were determined to be 9.01×10-4 without UV and 5.65×10-3 with UV at 25℃ and 5% RH.
