Modeling Cl2 formation from aqueous NaCl particles: Evidence for interfacial reactions and importance of Cl2 decomposition in alkaline solution
نویسندگان
چکیده
[1] A series of experiments have demonstrated that a significant yield of chlorine gas is produced when mixtures of ozone and sodium chloride particles above their deliquescence point are irradiated at 254 nm. In order to obtain expressions for future modeling studies, a comprehensive model is used to analyze the system and to determine its sensitivity. This work reexamines and expands previous studies [Knipping et al., 2000]. The enhanced model, described in detail herein, reaffirms that current known physical and chemical processes fail to reproduce the observed Cl2 formation in the experiments. A methodological analysis, proposed as a framework for similar studies, of the physicochemical system supports the accountability of an overall mechanism initiated by the formation of a relatively stable complex of the hydroxyl radical and chloride ions at the gas–liquid interface for the observed chlorine generation. Different potential fates of the OH...Cl surface intermediate are discussed. A rate expression and kinetic parameters are presented for the overall reaction of the interfacial mechanism. In addition, sensitivity studies underscore the importance of accurately modeling chlorine decomposition processes in alkaline solution—in particular, the reactions of chlorine with hydroxide, carbonate, and basic hydrogen peroxide. Recommended aqueous-phase rate constants for these reactions are drawn from a literature evaluation illustrating the limited availability and lack of agreement of related kinetic data.

Gas-phase molecular halogen formation from NaCl and NaBr aerosols: when are interface reactions important?
Unique interface reactions at the surface of sea-salt particles have been suggested as an important source of photolyzable gas-phase halogen species in the troposphere. Many factors influence the relative importance of interface chemistry compared to aqueous-phase chemistry. The Model of Aerosol, Gas, and Interfacial Chemistry (MAGIC 2.0) is used to study the influence of interface reactions on...
متن کاملProduction of gas phase NO2 and halogens from the photolysis of thin water films containing nitrate, chloride and bromide ions at room temperature.
Nitrate and halide ions coexist in particles generated in marine regions, around alkaline dry lakes, and in the Arctic snowpack. Although the photochemistry of nitrate ions in bulk aqueous solution is well known, there is recent evidence that it may be more efficient at liquid-gas interfaces, and that the presence of other ions in solution may enhance interfacial reactivity. This study examines...

The Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes with phenylpyridylformamidine (PhPyF) ligand, [Ni(PhPyF)Cl2] and [Zn(PhPyF)Cl2], have been prepared and investigated using different chemical techniques such as elemental analysis, molar conductance, FT-IR, UV-vis spectra and magnetic moment. The obtained chemical analysis data showed the formation of 1:1 (metal: ligand) ratio. The square planar and tetrahedral g...

A laser photolysis–long path laser absorption (LP-LPLA) experiment has been used to determine the rate constants for H-atom abstraction reactions of the dichloride radical anion (Cl2) in aqueous solution. From direct measurements of the decay of Cl2 in the presence of different reactants at pH 5 4 and I 5 0.1 M the following rate constants at T 5 298 K were derived: methanol, (5.1 6 0.3) · 104 ...
