Abstract

Abstract

The organic compounds emitted from biomass burning are important precursors of atmospheric secondary organic aerosols, but relevant reaction parameters are still relatively lacking. This study selected four representative species, including resorcinol(RES), 4-ethylphenol(4-EP), eugenol(Eug) and 2,4,6-trimethylphenol(Trmp), and used the relative rate method to determine the second-order reaction rate constants of those species against oxidation by the hydroxyl radical in the atmospheric aqueous-phases(such as conditions of fog/cloud droplets), also estimated the liquid phase reaction life under actual atmospheric conditions. The kinetic constants(K) of the four precursors at 298 K, pH=5.4 were(7.68±0.04)×10⁹ L/(mol·s),(18.12±0.56)×10⁹ L/(mol·s),(23.11±0.60)×10⁹ L/(mol·s) and(16.90±0.58)×10⁹ L/(mol·s), respectively. The uncertainties of K values were 3.5%~12%. In addition, the K value at T=293 K and 288 K were also determined, and the values at 288 K were 22%~38% lower than those at 298 K, indicating that temperature had a significant influence on the bimolecular rate constants of those compounds. It was also found that when the precursor was consumed nearly half, the solution pH decreased, suggesting that a certain number of organic acids might be generated during oxidation. The atmospheric lifetimes calculated according to the CAPRAM 3.0 under different scenarios ranged from tens of seconds to tens of hours, indicating that the aqueous-phase oxidation of biomass burning emitted phenolic species had a considerable impact on the secondary organic aerosol formation.
