Exploitable results
Laboratory studies have been performed on the importance of ozone reactions with biogenic volotile organic compounds (VOC), the atmospheric oxidation of halogenated organic compounds used as fuel additives and the atmospheric oxidation of halogenated compounds af anthropogenic and biogenic origin.
Reactions of ozone with biogenic compounds
Kinetics and project studies of reactions of ozone with a variety of biogenic compounds. Emphasis has been placed on ozone with alkenes, since experimental evidence that these reactions lead to the formation of OH radicals. The reactions with a series of alkenes have been investigated and the OH radical yoeld rationalized in terms of the molecular stucture of the alkenes.
Atmospheric oxidation of oxygenated VOCs
The rate constants of the reaction of OH radicals with a series of alcohols, esters and ethers have been measured. studies have focused on difunctional cmpounds such as CH3O(CH2)nOCH3 which have potential applications as fuel additives and water based solvents in industry, Structure reactivity relationships are being developed to facilitate prediction of the kinetics of atmosperic oxygen and hence tropospheric lifetimes.
Atmospheric oxidation of halogenated organic compounds
Rate constants have been determined fro the reaction of hydroxyl radicals with a number of fluorinated ethers and chlorinated alkanes and alkenes. The results give estimates of the atmospheric lifetimes of these compounds and provide structure reactivity information on the reactions.
