Investigation of the reaction system NOX/ClOX/HOX under tropospheric and stratospheric conditions
Abstract
Physico-chemical processes in the atmosphere were investigated in laboratory experiments. A reaction chamber in which photochemically initiated gas phase reactions can be studied over wide ranges of temperature and total pressure was constructed. Kinetic methods for measuring relative rate constants of reactions of OH, Cl, and H2O radicals with gaseous substances of atmospheric interest are explained. Reactions of OH radicals with different alkenes, aromatics, sulfur containing compounds, and peroxynitric acid are discussed.
