ICARUS Chamber Experiment: 2014 FIXCIT Study_20140111_nitric oxide/ALPHA-PINENE/hydrogen peroxide_Hydroxyl radical_No Seed_Alpha-pinene + OH, high NO, dry, (NH4)2SO4 seed at end
d789022
<p>Goals:<br/> High NO oxidation of alpha-pinene to test products. Interested mainly in: organic nitrate yield from alpha-pinene at the high NO limit<br/> -products formed in high NO oxidation of alpha-pinene to confirm for CIMS instruments what potential products formed in SOAS<br/> -potential contribution of alpha-pinene derived nitrates to particle phase nitrates seen at SOAS. Secondary goals: potential effect of addition of seed aerosol on apparent loss rate of gas-phase compounds</p> <p>Summary:<br/> The initial measurements of alpha -pinene and alkyl nitrates appeared to go well for PTR-MS and TD-LIF. <br/> Ozone began creeping up about ~30min into the experiment, reaching a maximum &lt; 90 ppbv O3. NO was injected in after about an hour and 15 minutes after lights on to titrate out the ozone. Particle nucleation was observed roughly <br/> ~1hr 15min into the oxidation, potentially from an OH spike from the NO injection due to PNA buildup. <br/> After 08 ~5hrs of oxidation, the lights were turned off. Thirty minutes of dark sampling followed, at which <br/> point ammonium sulfate seed was injected into the chamber to determine <br/> what effect, if any, this will have on wall-loss of various species.</p> <p>Organization: 2014 FIXCIT Study<br/> Lab Affiliation: California Institute of Technology<br/> Chamber: Seinfeld chambers</p> <p>Experiment Category: Gas phase chemical reaction<br/> Oxidant: Hydroxyl radical<br/> Reactants: nitric oxide, ALPHA-PINENE, hydrogen peroxide<br/> Reaction Type: Photooxidation<br/> Relative Humidity: 5<br/> Temperature: 26<br/> Seed Name: No Seed<br/> Pressure: 755</p>
