Collaborative publication: Effect of RH on SOA from cyclohexene

组内消息 2019-05-19

Influence of relative humidity on cyclohexene SOA formation from OH photooxidation

Highlights
• Combined effects of OH and RH on cyclohexene SOA formation were studied.

• The formation of oligomers at high RH was responsible for the increase of the SOA yield.

• High RH increases the OH uptake coefficient of SOA, and promotes SOA aging.

• Oligomers formation mechanism from cyclohexene photooxidation at high RH was proposed.

New publication in ACP: Effects of humidity on SOA formation from OH-initiated oxidation of m-xylene

组内消息 2019-02-19

Short Summary: The significantly negative effects of relative humidity (RH) on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from m-xylene under low NOx conditions were observed. The significant RH effects on chemical compositions of SOA are identified, in which highly oxygenated molecules (HOMs) are dominant. Our results show that the decrease of SOA formation under high RH conditions is mainly attributed to the suppression of the formation of oligomers and HOMs.

New collaborative publication in ACP on SOA formation from furan

组内消息 2018-06-25

We’re excited to announce the publication of a new article in ACPD. This article provides new information on the roles of NOx level and RH on the formation of SOA from the photooxidation of furan in the presence of NaCl seed particles. Strong evidences indicate that both the RH and different NOx levels have a significant effect on SOA formation.

Dependences of maximum O3 concentration, SOA mass concentration, SOA yield and liquid water content(LWC) on relative humidity (RH).
