Book High Resolution Studies of the   1A2   X  1A1Electronic Transition of Formaldehyde

Download or read book High Resolution Studies of the 1A2 X 1A1Electronic Transition of Formaldehyde written by Cheryl Tatum Ernest and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formaldehyde (HCHO) plays a primary role in tropospheric chemistry. Its photochemical activity is an important source of radical species such as HCO, H, and subsequently HO2 as well as molecular hydrogen and carbon monoxide. As a source of hydrogen radicals (HOx = OH + HO2), HCHO plays a significant role in the oxidative capacity of the atmosphere, and an important part in the interrelated chemistries of ozone and the HOx and NOx (NO + NO2) cycles. Accurate atmospheric photolysis rates of HCHO are thus required in order to properly model tropospheric chemistry. Despite extensive studies HCHO's spectroscopy and photochemistry remains to be well characterized. Absolute room temperature absorption cross sections for the A1A2 -- X1A1 electronic transition of formaldehyde have been measured over the spectral range 30285 -- 32890 cm-1 (304 -- 330 nm) using ultraviolet (UV) laser absorption spectroscopy. Absorption cross sections were obtained at an instrumental resolution better than 0.09 cm-1 which is slightly broader than the Doppler width of a rotational line of HCHO at 300K (~0.07 cm-1) and so we were able to resolve all but the most closely spaced lines. Qualitative comparisons with spectral simulations show varying agreement depending on vibronic band. Refined state origins and transition dipole moments for each vibronic band have been reported. There is evidence of areas of perturbation and the need to optimize higher order spectral constants. Pressure broadening parameters have been measured and increase with the strength of intermolecular interaction between formaldehyde and the collision partner. Comparisons between the available high-resolution studies and spectral simulations indicate that the HCHO absorption cross section is still not well characterized. The relative quantum yield for the production of radical products, H+HCO, from the UV photolysis of formaldehyde (HCHO) has been measured directly using a Pulsed Laser Photolysis -- Pulsed Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLP -- PLIF) technique across the same spectral region. Relative yields were normalized to a value of 0.69 at 31750 cm-1 based on the current NASA-JPL recommendation. The resulting absolute radical quantum yields agree well with previous experimental studies and show more wavelength dependent behavior than the recommendation. This provides support for the complicated competition among the various HCHO dissociation pathways.

Book Laser Spectroscopy Sensors for Measurement of Trace Gaseous Formaldehyde

Download or read book Laser Spectroscopy Sensors for Measurement of Trace Gaseous Formaldehyde written by Ravi Kumar Boddeti and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sensitive and direct method to determine atmospheric formaldehyde (HCHO) using laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy (LIF) is described. This technique overcomes the tedious sample collections, water extraction and chemical reactions that are often required in conventional methods. In this LIF approach, the third harmonic of a nontunable Nd:YAG laser at 355 nm is used as a selective excitation wavelength for formaldehyde. Studies at alternative excitation wavelengths have also been performed using 341 nm and 309 nm, which are obtained by Stimulated Raman Scattering of nontunable Nd:YAG laser radiation at 266 nm and 355 nm, respectively. The calibration response is linear in the range of 1-57 ppm and the current limit of detection (LOD) is 0.5 ppm HCHO. It is anticipated that these approaches may be able to avoid interferences that occur in conventional methods for HCHO measurements.

Book New Investigation of Nitrogen Laser Induced Fluorescence in Formaldehyde  Spectra and Spectrally Resolved Lifetimes

Download or read book New Investigation of Nitrogen Laser Induced Fluorescence in Formaldehyde Spectra and Spectrally Resolved Lifetimes written by Ralph Ernest Chatham and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a considerable interest in the lifetimes and predissociation mechanisms of the excited formaldehyde molecule, H2CO. Active research is being conducted in the use of this predissociation via selective laser excitation to separate various isotopes of the three atomic species which make up the molecule. In addition, the molecule's comparatively simple structure and a large body of experimental data concerning that structure make it a useful test case for theoretical models. There are also astrophysical applications. The fact that light in the near ultraviolet causes dissociation of formaldehyde with a quantum yield which is close to one makes the molecule a sensitive detector of the radiation environment in the dense interstellar molecular clouds in which it has been observed by radio astronomy.
