Abstract
Nighttime NO3-initiated oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), such as monoterpenes, plays a crucial role as sources of organic nitrates (ONs) and secondary organic aerosols (SOA), which are known to have significant impacts on climate, air quality, and human health. Nevertheless, these reactions are still poorly understood. Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to provide new kinetic data for two monoterpenes, α-phellandrene and β-phellandrene through experiments in simulation chambers. The rate constants have been determined using an absolute kinetic method and found to be (3.9 ± 0.6) × 10−11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 for α-phellandrene and (6.6 ± 1.0) × 10−12 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 for β-phellandrene. These rate constants have been compared to data from the literature. For α-phellandrene, previous studies were scattered, and this new determination allows us to confirm the lowest value provided by the other absolute rate determination. For β-phellandrene, our study provides the first absolute rate determination which is in good agreement with the unique value from the literature obtained by the relative rate technique. Rate constants of α- and β-phellandrene are also compared to those of other monoterpenes having similar chemical structures. These kinetic results show that the oxidation by NO3 is a significant sink of α- and β-phellandrene during nighttime.
期刊介绍:
As the leading archival journal devoted exclusively to chemical kinetics, the International Journal of Chemical Kinetics publishes original research in gas phase, condensed phase, and polymer reaction kinetics, as well as biochemical and surface kinetics. The Journal seeks to be the primary archive for careful experimental measurements of reaction kinetics, in both simple and complex systems. The Journal also presents new developments in applied theoretical kinetics and publishes large kinetic models, and the algorithms and estimates used in these models. These include methods for handling the large reaction networks important in biochemistry, catalysis, and free radical chemistry. In addition, the Journal explores such topics as the quantitative relationships between molecular structure and chemical reactivity, organic/inorganic chemistry and reaction mechanisms, and the reactive chemistry at interfaces.
