European photoreactor

Objective

To allow the determination and evaluation of chemical mechanisms which are needed for transport and dispersion models.


An outdoor smog chamber is built in Valencia for studying mechanisms of photochemical processes which lead to oxidant formation, in particular, ozone, in the polluted air of most European regions and which also influence the oxidising capacity of the atmosphere on a global scale. The development of measures to effectively control the photo-oxidant formation necessarily depends on the provision of reliable mechanistic data which can be obtained from this smog chamber studies.

A dual chamber facility will be constructed; it will be used in a differential mode ensuring the kinetic analysis of specific chemical systems at ambient concentration levels of the reactants. Systems proposed to be studied in the presence of different NOX concentrations are: biogenic VOCs, aromatic VOCs, alternative fuel components, air polluted by a real emission source (automobile engine) and radical reactions important for tropospheric oxidation processes, the latter by direct measurements of HO2, RO2 and NO3 radicals.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
