Book Direct Spectroscopic and Kinetic Studies of the Simplest Criegee Intermediate

Download or read book Direct Spectroscopic and Kinetic Studies of the Simplest Criegee Intermediate written by Elizabeth Stack Foreman and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Atmospheric chemistry is driven largely by free radical species whose reactions determine both the composition and oxidative capacity of the atmosphere. Carbonyl oxides, or Criegee Intermediates, formed in the ozonolysis of alkenes in the troposphere are highly reactive biradicals/zwitterions that are implicated in the production of secondary organic aerosol and particulate matter. This thesis will focus on the following aspects of the spectroscopy and kinetics related to the simplest Criegee Intermediate, formaldehyde oxide: (1) kinetics of IO radical formation from the CH2I + O2 reaction, (2) spectroscopy and dynamics of electronically excited states of CH 2OO, (3) the kinetics of reactions of CH2OO with trace atmospheric pollutants. The spectroscopic and kinetic study of IO radicals formed as minor products in the laboratory synthesis of Criegee Intermediates is performed using cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS). We observe experimentally that IO radicals exhibit vibrational state specific formation kinetics and suggest that this is due to a product branching ratio controlled by the degree of internal excitation in the reactants. IO and CH2OO are produced simultaneously in the reaction of CH2I with O2 and exhibit overlapping absorption bands in the near-ultraviolet/visible. This poses a challenge for direct detection of CH2OO using a linear absorption technique. The measured rate constant for the formation of IO is used to deconvolute the total observed absorption spectrum into individual molecular components. Both CRDS and single-pass broadband transient absorption spectroscopy (BBTAS) are used to independently measure the absolute absorption cross sections for the second electronically excited state of CH2OO in the near-ultraviolet/visible. We show that the absorption spectra do not exhibit fine structure, even at the lowest excitation energies, and that the observed broad lineshapes cannot be attributed hot bands. This suggests that the photolysis quantum yield is “1 and the observed structure in the electronic absorption spectrum, that is absent from the action spectrum, is the result of relaxation via nonradiative population transfer to a long-lived state or fluorescence. BBTAS is subsequently used to probe the kinetics of the reactions of CH2OO with two inorganic acids: HCl and HNO3. We find that these reactions occur at or near the collision limit and that nitric acid in particular may be locally competitive with water vapor, which is widely accepted as the dominant sink for Criegee Intermediates in the atmosphere. Taken together these studies provide a deeper understanding of the role Criegee Intermediates play in tropospheric chemistry.

Book Mechanisms of Atmospheric Oxidation of the Alkanes

Download or read book Mechanisms of Atmospheric Oxidation of the Alkanes written by Jack G Calvert and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 1005 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An international team of eminent atmospheric scientists have prepared Mechanisms of Atmospheric Oxidation of the Alkanes as an authoritative source of information on the role of alkanes in the chemistry of the atmosphere. The book includes the properties of the alkanes and haloalkanes, as well as a comprehensive review and evaluation of the existing literature on the atmospheric chemistry of the alkanes and their major atmospheric oxidation products, and the various approaches now used to model the alkane atmospheric chemistry. Comprehensive coverage is given of both the unsubstituted alkanes and the many haloalkanes. All the existing quality measurements of the rate coefficients for the reactions of OH, Cl, O(3P), NO3, and O3 with the alkanes, the haloalkanes, and their major oxidation products have been reviewed and evaluated. The expert authors then give recommendations of the most reliable kinetic data. They also review the extensive literature on the mechanisms and rates and modes of photodecomposition of the haloalkanes and the products of atmospheric oxidation of the alkanes and the haloalkanes, and make recommendations for future use by atmospheric scientists. The evaluations presented allow an extrapolation of the existing kinetic and photochemical data to those alkanes and haloalkanes that are as yet unstudied. The current book should be of special interest and value to the modelers of atmospheric chemistry as a useful input for development of realistic modules designed to simulate the atmospheric chemistry of the alkanes, their major oxidation products, and their influence on ozone and other trace gases within the troposphere.

Book The Future of Atmospheric Chemistry Research

Download or read book The Future of Atmospheric Chemistry Research written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-01-29 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our world is changing at an accelerating rate. The global human population has grown from 6.1 billion to 7.1 billion in the last 15 years and is projected to reach 11.2 billion by the end of the century. The distribution of humans across the globe has also shifted, with more than 50 percent of the global population now living in urban areas, compared to 29 percent in 1950. Along with these trends, increasing energy demands, expanding industrial activities, and intensification of agricultural activities worldwide have in turn led to changes in emissions that have altered the composition of the atmosphere. These changes have led to major challenges for society, including deleterious impacts on climate, human and ecosystem health. Climate change is one of the greatest environmental challenges facing society today. Air pollution is a major threat to human health, as one out of eight deaths globally is caused by air pollution. And, future food production and global food security are vulnerable to both global change and air pollution. Atmospheric chemistry research is a key part of understanding and responding to these challenges. The Future of Atmospheric Chemistry Research: Remembering Yesterday, Understanding Today, Anticipating Tomorrow summarizes the rationale and need for supporting a comprehensive U.S. research program in atmospheric chemistry; comments on the broad trends in laboratory, field, satellite, and modeling studies of atmospheric chemistry; determines the priority areas of research for advancing the basic science of atmospheric chemistry; and identifies the highest priority needs for improvements in the research infrastructure to address those priority research topics. This report describes the scientific advances over the past decade in six core areas of atmospheric chemistry: emissions, chemical transformation, oxidants, atmospheric dynamics and circulation, aerosol particles and clouds, and biogeochemical cycles and deposition. This material was developed for the NSF's Atmospheric Chemistry Program; however, the findings will be of interest to other agencies and programs that support atmospheric chemistry research.

Book Physical Chemistry of Gas Liquid Interfaces

Download or read book Physical Chemistry of Gas Liquid Interfaces written by Jennifer A. Faust and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical Chemistry of Gas-Liquid Interfaces, the first volume in the Developments in Physical & Theoretical Chemistry series, addresses the physical chemistry of gas transport and reactions across liquid surfaces. Gas-liquid interfaces are all around us, especially within atmospheric systems such as sea spry aerosols, cloud droplets, and the surface of the ocean. Because the reaction environment at liquid surfaces is completely unlike bulk gas or bulk liquid, chemists must readjust their conceptual framework when entering this field. This book provides the necessary background in thermodynamics and computational and experimental techniques for scientists to obtain a thorough understanding of the physical chemistry of liquid surfaces in complex, real-world environments.
