摘要

Hematite surface minerals can play a key role for the stability in hot, CO_2 exoplanetary atmospheres. In a previous work we applied a heterogeneous mechanism for the oxidation of atmospheric CO(g) into CO_2(g) occurring on the surface of hematite to planetary atmospheres. In that work we calculated CO_2(g) production rates via this "hematite mechanism" for specific planetary atmospheric scenarios both in and out of the Solar System. We perform a general parameter study of the hematite mechanism in which we change key initial variables (CO and O_2 gas-phase abundances) and temperature, pressure covering the diverse range of conditions for terrestrial planetary atmospheres; we investigate the response of the CO(g) oxidation rate and hence discuss the implications for the atmospheric CO_2(g) budget. We apply a numerical integration scheme based on the Gear method to a system of seven chemical equations to investigate the rate of CO(g) oxidation via the hematite mechanism. Results suggest the mechanism has a potentially important influence on the evolution of hot atmospheres of terrestrial-type planets, especially for temperatures above about 550 K. The abundance of CO(g) was found to be not important for the rate of CO oxidation, whereas the abundance of O_2(g) begins to play a role above about 10~(-5) volume mixing ratio. Above about 550 K, the efficiency of CO(g) oxidation increases because the rate determining step involving CO_2 desorption is faster. Subsequently switching off the rather uncertain rate of diffusion of 0 atoms from the crystal bulk to the surface led to a strong lowering in reaction rates and a stronger dependency of the CO(g) oxidation rate upon O_2(g). For example, on increasing the volume mixing ratio of O_2(g) from 10~(-3) to 10~(-4) for a scenario without diffusion (with Venus-like surface conditions) the percentage conversion of initial CO(g) into CO_2(g) increased from ~30% up to ~60%.
