Objective
To study the aqueous phase chemistry of tropospheric oxidants
This project is concerned with laboratory studies of the phase transfer and the aqueous phase chemistry of tropospheric oxidants. The accommodation coefficients of important gas phase oxidants like ozone and methylhydroperoxide into water droplets will be determined. The influence of ozone on atmospheric aqueous phase chemistry will be studied with respect to :
1. the oxidation of S (IV) in the presence of transition metal ions (e.g. Fe, Mn, Cu, V, Co) and
2. its reactions with transition metal ions TMI's and the role of the resulting intermediates.
Elementary reactions of the radical anions SO-4 and SO-5 which are key intermediates in the atmospheric aqueous phase oxidation of S (IV) will be studied with respect to potential loss mechanisms in reactions with TMI's like Fe (II), Mn (II), and organic cloudwater constituents like HCHO, CHOOH, etc.
Moreover, this project addresses the reactivity of organic peroxy radicals which are either formed by direct uptake from the gas phase or in reactions of radical oxidants with organic compounds within the aqueous phase.
It is expected to obtain a number of rate data concerning phase transfer and reactivity, which could improve the understanding of the complex tropospheric chemistry system.
