New Developments in Heterogeneous Aerosol Processes Affecting NOx and SO2
Randall Martin
Reduced Rate of NReduced Rate of N22OO5 5 Hydrolysis (NHydrolysis (N22OO55 + aerosol + aerosol 2 HNO 2 HNO33))
• Reaction probability ( 0.1 (Jacob et al., 2000)
• Recent model and laboratory measurements suggest lower with species and RH dependence

- vs ozonesonde climatology (Logan et al., 1998) -2.9 ppbv to -1.4 ppbv
Uptake of NOUptake of NO22 and NO and NO33 on Aerosols on Aerosols
• NO2 0.5 HONO + 0.5 HNO3; reaction probability 10-4 (Jacob, 2000)
• NO3 HNO3; reaction probability 10-3 (Jacob, 2000)
• NO2 uptake dominates over land

Fraction of HNO3 production (~600 m) by uptake of NO2 and NO3 Calculated with GEOS-Chem
Uptake of HOUptake of HO22 on Aerosols ( on Aerosols (HO2 0.5 H2O2)
• Recommendation of 0.2 based on availability of Cu(II) (Jacob, 2000)• Requires Cu(II) > 10-3 M (Mozurkewich et al., 1987)• Reaction probability <0.01 in absence of Cu(II) (Thornton and Abbatt, 2005)
• Copper Emissions ~100 Gg yr-1 (crustal and combustion)• Cu 0.1% of aerosol mass at northern midlat (likely sufficient if not bound
with organics)• Only 0.004% of aerosol mass in biomass burning plumes (likely insufficient)
GEOS-Chem calculation (~600m)
Reaction could be a large fraction of HOx budget if sufficient Cu(II)

• Reaction probability of 10-4 (Goodman et al., 2000) - 0.1 (Hanish and Crowley, 2001)
• Negligible effect on NOx in North America, but may be important for Sahara (Bauer et al., 2004; Liao and Seinfeld, 2005)

Similar Reactions May Also Occur in Dust (Ullerstam et al., 2002)
However, field measurements of Asian (Ooki and Uematsu, 2005) and Saharan (Umann et al., 2005) found little evidence of SO2 uptake
ConclusionsConclusions
• Recent updates <10% effect on surface NOx in North America
• Most significant:
– reduced rate of N2O5 hydrolysis
– potential role of HO2 uptake
• Oxidation of SO2 in alkaline sea-salt important over ocean
