We present a novel mechanism for the formation of photocatalytic oxidants in deliquescent NaCl particles, which can greatly promote multiphase photo-oxidation SO2 to produce sulfate. The photoexcitation [Cl––H3O+–O2] complex leads generation Cl and OH radicals, is key reason enhancing aqueous-phase oxidation accelerating oxidation. mass normalization rate sulfate production from photoreaction on droplets could be estimated 0.80 × 10–4 μg·h–1 at 72% RH 1.33 81% RH, equivalent known O3 liquid-phase mechanism. Our findings highlight significance particles as non-negligible source coastal areas. Furthermore, this study underscores importance Cl– photochemistry atmosphere.

Atmospheric chemistry research has been growing rapidly in China the last 25 years since concept of "air pollution complex" was first proposed by Professor Xiaoyan TANG 1997. For papers published 2021 on air (only included Web Science Core Collection database were considered), more than 24 000 authored or co-authored scientists working China. In this paper, we review a limited number representative and significant studies atmospheric few years, including (1) sources emission inventories, (2) chemical processes, (3) interactions with meteorology, weather climate, (4) between biosphere atmosphere, (5) data assimilation. The intention not to provide complete all progress made but rather serve as starting point for learning about advances reviewed paper have enabled theoretical framework complex be established, provided robust scientific support highly successful control policies China, created great opportunities education, training, career development many graduate students young scientists. This further highlights that developing low-income countries are heavily affected can benefit from these advances, whilst at same time acknowledging challenges still remain hopefully addressed over next decades.

Abstract Traditional atmospheric chemistry posits that sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) can be oxidized to sulfate 4 2– through aqueous-phase reactions in clouds and gas-phase oxidation. Despite adequate knowledge of traditional mechanisms, several studies have highlighted the potential for SO oxidation within aerosol water. Given widespread presence tropospheric aerosols, 2− production water could a pervasive global impact. Here, we quantify contributions aqueous pathways formation based on GEOS-Chem simulations subsequent theoretical calculations. Hydrogen peroxide (H O significantly influences continental regions both horizontally vertically. Over past two decades, shifts typical cities reveal an intriguing trend: despite reductions emissions, increased capacities, like rising H levels, prevent steady decline concentrations. Abating oxidants would facilitate benefit reduction positive feedback mitigation.

Currently, atmospheric sulfate aerosols cannot be predicted reliably by numerical models because the pathways and kinetics of formation are unclear. Here, we systematically investigated synergetic catalyzing role transition-metal ions (TMIs, Fe3+/Mn2+) in oxidation SO2 O2 on using chamber experiments. Our results showed that effect TMIs is critically dependent aerosol pH due to solubility Fe(III) species sensitive aqueous phase acidity, which effective only under < 3 conditions. The rate 2 orders magnitude larger than bulk solution increases significantly smaller aerosols, suggesting such a synergetic-catalyzed occurs surface. kinetic reaction can described as R = k*[H+]−2.95[Mn(II)][Fe(III)][S(IV)] (pH ≤ 3.0). We found TMI-synergetic-catalyzed dominant pathway Beijing when haze particles very acidic, while heterogeneous NO2 most important weakly acidic. work for first time clarified periods, parameterized into future studies formation.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a key role in atmospheric chemistry, but knowledge of its variation, sources, and impact on sulfate formation remains incomplete, especially the urban boundary layer aloft. Here, we conducted field campaign with measurements H2O2 related species at tower-based site (∼528 m above ground surface) Beijing spring 2022. The observed hourly concentration reached up to 21.2 ppbv an average value 3.4 ± 3.7 during entire observation period, which was higher than values from previous observations throughout world. budget revealed that two known sources (self-reaction HO2 radicals ozonolysis alkenes) could not account for significant H2O2, leading considerable unknown source strength (∼0.14–0.53 h–1) noon after sunset. Based levoglucosan signal, distribution fire points, backward trajectories, biomass burning emissions southwest (e.g., North China Plain) were found contribute greatly formation. Besides, photochemical aging PM2.5 might also have potential production noon. unexpectedly high concentrations aloft made vital contribution (0.2–1.1 μg m–3 h–1), be transported surface turbulent mixing. Our findings provide improved understanding chemistry megacity, as well

Abstract. The importance of dust heterogeneous oxidation in the removal atmospheric SO2 and formation sulfate aerosols is not adequately understood. In this study, Fe-, Ti-, Al-bearing components, Na+, Cl−, K+, Ca2+ surface, were discovered to be closely associated with sulfate. Regression models then developed make a reliable prediction reactivity based on particle chemical compositions. Further, recognized gas-phase, aqueous-phase, routes quantitatively assessed kinetically compared by combining laboratory work modelling study. presence 55 µg m−3 airborne dust, accounts for approximately 28.6 % secondary during nighttime, while proportion decreases 13.1 solar irradiation. On drivers (e.g. transition metal constituents, water-soluble ions) are more efficient than surface-adsorbed oxidants H2O2, NO2, O3) conversion SO2, particularly nighttime. Dust offers an opportunity explain missing source severe haze pollution events, its contribution complex environments could even higher current calculation results. Overall, surface responsible significant have profound impacts sulfur cycling.

Aerosols in the atmosphere are effective microreactors for aqueous reactions converting primary pollutants to secondary fine particulate matter (PM2.5). These believed scale with volume of water, such as water deliquesced urban aerosols. Here, using single-particle Raman spectroscopy, we mapped scaling law conversion rate sulfite microdroplets, a key reaction producing sulfate PM2.5 and driving formation China's haze. We show that, droplets below approximately 100 μm, this scales not volume, but droplet surface area, owing kinetic acceleration at air-water interface. Therefore, when linearly extrapolating rates aerosol air-quality models may inaccurately predict rates. predictions likely underpredictions, if adopt parameters measured from laboratory systems, i.e., bulk solutions, surface-area-to-volume ratio much smaller than atmospheric
