The ozonolysis of cyclohexene is studied with respect to the pressure dependent formation of stable gas-phase products and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) as well as the influence of the presence of SO(2). In addition the rate coefficient for the initial reaction cyclohexene + O(3) was determined at 295 K. The observed increase in CO and ethene yields at low pressures and the absence of ketene in the product spectrum confirm previously proposed reaction pathways forming these decomposition products. An enhanced ethene formation at pressures below 300 mbar coincides with drastically decreased aerosol yields pointing to a high influence on SOA formation of chemical activation driven dynamics in the vinylhydroperoxide channel. The static reactor experiments at 450 mbar in the presence of SO(2) in the present study showed a similar sensitivity of additional particle formation to H(2)SO(4) number densities as found in near-atmospheric flow reactor experiments [Sipiläet al., Science, 2010, 327, 1243], a surprising result with regard to the very different experimental approaches. At low pressures (around 40 mbar) no significant new particle formation is observed even at high H(2)SO(4) concentrations. These findings indicate that the collisional stabilisation of initial clusters is an important aspect for SOA formation processes involving sulfuric acid and organic compounds. The results may have implications for geo-engineering strategies based on stratospheric sulfur injection, but caution is mandatory when room temperature laboratory results are extrapolated to stratospheric conditions.
Im Beitrag werden Perspektiven zum Thema Nanotechnologie im Chemieunterricht beschrieben, die im Rahmen Fachdidaktischer Transferforschung innerhalb einer Kooperation zwischen Fachdidaktik und Fachwissenschaft erarbeitet wurden. Ein besonderer Fokus wird dabei auf die experimentelle Erschließung von Eigenschaften verschiedener nanoskaliger Materialien wie etwa Titandioxid, Zinkoxid und Silica gelegt. Über die Verwendung dieser Materialien können Themen wie Adsorption, Fluoreszenz, (Photo‐) Katalyse und Toxizität mit einem aktuellen Forschungsthema vernetzt und in eine Vielfalt von Kontexten eingebettet werden.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
