Abstract:Reactions of carbonyl sulfide (OCS) on atmospheric particles were investigated in a flowing system using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) at 293 K. Results show that OCS could be slowly oxidized and hydrolyzed on atmospheric particles. As a simplified model, alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) was used to further compare the two reactions and the results indicate that hydrolysis reaction of OCS has an advantage over oxidation reaction to take place at a given time and that heterogeneous reactions of OCS on particles at atmos… Show more
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.
