摘要

A major source of uncertainty in predicting the climate and health effects of organic aerosol is how its composition changes over their atmospheric lifetimes. Here, products and intermediates of the oxidation of atmospherically relevant aqueous di-carboxylic acids (DCAs) initiated by gas-phase hydroxyl radicals, OH(g), at the air-water interface were detected by mass spectrometry in a novel setup under various experimental conditions. Exposure of sub-millimolar reactant aqueous microjets to ~ 10 ns OH(g) pulses from the 266 nm laser flash photolysis of 0_3(g)/0_2(g)/H_2O(g) mixtures yielded an array of interfacial intermediates/products, including peroxyl radicals and peroxides, that were unambiguously and simultaneously identified in situ by mass spectrometry[l,2]. An important finding is that the oxidation of DCAs initiated by gas-phase OH radicals leads not only to their stepwise degradation but also to the formation of more reactive species, such as hydroperoxides, which can propagate radical chain reactions in the condensed aerosol phase. We demonstrate that the reactivities of shorter-chain DCAs homologues (oxalic acid and malonic acid) toward OH(g) decrease dramatically, in line with the higher hydrophilicity of the shorter chain mono-anions that inhibits their partitioning to the air-water interface. The present results would explain why and how shorter-chain DCAs naturally accumulate in aged organic aerosol. Our results suggest that interface-specific OH oxidation of DCAs would play a far more significant role in photochemical aging process of atmospheric aerosols than previously assumed.
