Investigation of Aerosol Formation During Benzaldehyde Photolysis

Abstract: The kinetics of photolysis and photonucleation of benzaldehyde (BA) vapor in the air and in an inert gas is investigated, along with the physical and chemical characteristics of the resulting aerosol particles. Short-lived free radicals that accompany the BA photonucleation process were identified by means of spin trapping. Numerical simulation of BA photonucleation, combined with the proposed chemical mechanism, allowed us to calculate the rate of generation of initial particles and to estimate the aerosol qu… Show more

“…The S 4 state reported in previous experiments is likely the S 5 state calculated here as the calculated S 4 and S 6 states have small oscillator strengths. Upon irradiation at 248 or 266 nm, C 6 H 5 CHO is excited to the S 2 state, whereas irradiation at 193 nm might produce excitation mainly to the S 5 state Six possible channels for decomposition, Reactions (1)-(4), (8), and (9), are considered on the ground-state singlet PES for the initial reaction of C 6 H 5 CHOA C H T U N G T R E N N U N G ( 1 A ' ). C 6 H 5 CHO !…”

“…[7] In the atmosphere, the main destruction of aromatic aldehydes occurs by photodissociation with solar radiation and reactions with OH, NO 3 , and O 3 . The former process plays an important role in aerosol formation, [8] whereas the latter reactions in the atmosphere lead to formation of benzoylperoxyradicals, C 6 H 5 C(O)OO, an important intermediate of atmospheric pollutants. [3,6,9] The ultraviolet (UV) spectra of gaseous C 6 H 5 CHO have been studied experimentally [10][11][12][13] and theoretically.…”

“…The Smoluchowski equation was solved for free-molecular collisions of monomers and clusters, similar to those described by Rao and McMurry. 12 An effective algorithm for solving the coagulation equation has been reported earlier by Dubtsov et al 9,10,13 In the present study, this model was modified to account for the influence of t 1 (time gap between the end of irradiation and the moment of particles detection) and diffusion losses of monomer and clusters on the walls of the reactor and pipelines. Similarly to Rao and McMurry, 12 Under these conditions, the dynamics of the particle concentration is described by the following equations where F(t) ) F ) constant at t e t 0 , F(t) ) 0 at t 0 e t e t 0 + t 1 (no monomer formation during t 1 ), ij is the collision constant for clusters, consisting of i and j monomers, N k is the concentration of clusters, consisting of k monomers, t 0 is the irradiation time, and t 1 is the retention time.…”

“…The monomer formation rate value was calculated by a nonlinear least-squares fitting of the calculated curves with experimental data by a technique similar to that described by Dubtsov et al 9,10 Foreign gas affects the rate of monomer formation (F). Thus, in N 2 , F ) 1.48 × 10 7 cm -3 s -1 , which is more than in the N 2 + O 2 mixture (4:1) F ) 0.742 × 10 7 cm -3 s -1 , when water concentration is less than 5.0 × 10 17 molecule/cm 3 .…”

“…Nitrones are the most frequently used spin traps, and spin trap adducts formed in their case are called nitroxides. Dubtsov et al (2006) used α-phenyl nitrone (PN); 1,2,2,5,5-pentamethyl-3-imidazoline-3-oxide (PMIO); and 3-hydroxyl-2-3- Figures…”
