Abstract:The up-scaling of an earlier described VUV-photochemical oxidative functionalization of polystyrene aerosols depends primarily on the possibility to increase substantially the particle concentration in the gas phase, the aerosol flux and the rate of oxidation. The VUV-photolysis of tetrachloro-methane (CCl 4 ) in the presence of air was chosen for the initiation of the oxidation of the polystyrene surface (photo-oxychlorination) taking advantage of the excellent solvent characteristics and the high absorption … Show more
