Model Analysis of Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation by Glyoxal in Laboratory Studies: The Case for Photoenhanced Chemistry

Abstract: The reactive uptake of glyoxal by atmospheric aerosols is believed to be a significant source of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Several recent laboratory studies have been performed with the goal of characterizing this process, but questions remain regarding the effects of photochemistry on SOA growth. We applied GAMMA (McNeill et al. Environ. Sci. Technol. 2012, 46, 8075-8081), a photochemical box model with coupled gas-phase and detailed aqueous aerosol-phase chemistry, to simulate aerosol chamber studies … Show more

“…The role of UV light in aaSOA formation by glyoxal is unresolved (Galloway et al, 2009(Galloway et al, , 2011Volkamer et al, 2009;Kampf et al, 2013). A recent data analysis study using GAMMA (Sumner et al, 2014) suggested a possible role for photo-enhanced chemistry in aaSOA formation by glyoxal involving organic photosensitizers such as fulvic acid (Monge et al, 2012). This chemistry can be represented in simpleGAMMA by including irreversible glyoxal uptake with γ ∼ 10 −3 during sunlit hours, consistent with Fu et al (2008), who based their representation on the experiments of Liggio et al (2005), and with Waxman et al (2013).…”

“…The aqueous-phase species tracked in simpleGAMMA are IEPOX, glyoxal, 2-methyltetrol, and IEPOX organosulfate. Mass transfer between the gas and Sumner et al (2014) aerosol phases only occurs for IEPOX and glyoxal. The effective Henry's law constants (H * ) and accommodation coefficients used to describe uptake for these species are given in Table 1.…”

“…Although the direct emission of glyoxal and methylglyoxal from vehicle exhausts seemed much smaller when compared to that of toluene, they would also contribute substantially to SOA due to their higher SOA formation potentials (Liggio et al, 2005;Warneck, 2005;Yu et al, 2005). The SOA yields of glyoxal and methylglyoxal were 0.56e1.20 and 0.66e0.95, respectively, against that of 0.3 for toluene (Ng et al, 2007;Lim et al, 2013;Sumner et al, 2014), so SOA formed from vehicle-emitted glyoxal and methylglyoxal altogether could reach 25.3e49.5% of SOA formed from vehicle emitted toluene.…”

“…Glyoxal forms SOA with higher yields during the day than at night due to OH aqueousphase chemistry (Tan et al, 2009;Volkamer et al, 2009;Sumner et al, 2014). We use a daytime γ of 2.9 × 10 −3 for glyoxal from Liggio et al (2005) and a nighttime γ of 5 × 10 −6 (Waxman et al, 2013;Sumner et al, 2014).…”
