A model study of the potential role of the reaction BrO + OH in the production of stratospheric HBr

Abstract: Abstract.We produce HBr with around 1-2% yield then this reaction will dominate HBr production between 20-35 km. As the main loss of HBr is reaction with OH this will lead to steady state HBr:BrO partitioning which is independent of other species, and temperature.

“…In addition to the strong interest in these mechanistic details, the reaction OH + HBr → H 2 O + Br H • 0 = −131.5 kJ mol −1 (1) has been of particular interest to atmospheric chemists because it plays a significant role in the bromine partitioning of the terrestrial atmosphere [1]. This reaction represents the dominant sink for HBr in the middle to lower stratosphere [2]. At temperatures below 200 K, the rate of OH loss in the presence of HBr shows a strong inverse temperature dependence, increasing by a factor of three between 150 and 20 K. As a result of atmospheric and fundamental interest in this reaction, there have been many varied kinetic studies of the rate in the past.…”

“…The potential occurrence of channel 2b is of great importance for the stratospheric bromine partitioning. , Hence, the experimental determination of the branching ratio for channel 2b is required. From the unique study of reaction 2, and considering that the branching ratio of channel 2b is likely to be as low as a few percentages, it appears that one cannot neglect the side and secondary processes involved in the reactive system used to produce OH and BrO radicals.…”

“…: Br ϩ HOBr (1) 2 This reaction has been also used in the laboratory as a source of HOBr, which is an important species in the atmospheric bromine/ozone chemistry [1]. Recent model calculations [2,3] have shown that the reaction between OH and BrO radicals may play an important role in the stratospheric bromine partitioning. This reaction may proceed following two channels:…”
