Atmospheric Oxidation of Ethers Under High and Low NOx Conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The photooxidation of diethyl ether (C2H5OC2H5) and diisopropyl ether, (CH3)2CHOCH(CH3)2, in the presence of NOx was studied at the European Photoreactor (EUPHORE) in May 1998. The main objective of the experiments was to validate the degradation mechanisms that are based on data obtained from laboratory photoreactor studies. For diisopropyl ether, the experiments provided product yield data that differed significantly from that obtained in conventional photoreactor studies. In order to elucidate further mechanistic information, the photooxidation of diisopropyl ether was studied again in July 1998 in the presence and absence of NOx.

α-pinene photooxidation under controlled chemical conditions – Part 1: Gas-phase composition in low- and high-NOx environments
The OH oxidation of α-pinene under both lowand high-NOx environments was studied in the Caltech atmospheric chambers. Ozone was kept low to ensure OH was the oxidant. The initial α-pinene concentration was 20–50 ppb to ensure that the dominant peroxy radical pathway under low-NOx conditions is reaction with HO2, produced from reaction of OH with H2O2, and under high-NOx conditions, reactions wi...

متن کاملα-pinene photooxidation under controlled chemical conditions – Part 2: SOA yield and composition in low- and high-NOx environments
The gas-phase oxidation of α-pinene produces a large amount of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in the atmosphere. A number of carboxylic acids, organosulfates and nitrooxy organosulfates associated with α-pinene have been found in field samples and some are used as tracers of αpinene oxidation. α-pinene reacts readily with OH and O3 in the atmosphere followed by reactions with both HO2 and NO. ...
