The Peculiar Atmospheric Chemistry of KELT-9b

The chemistry of atmospheric bromine

Bromine may act as a catalyst for recombination of ozone and could be more efficient than either nitric oxide or chlorine. The lower atmosphere contains small concentrations of gaseous bromine produced in part by marine activity, in part by volatilization of particulate material released during the combustion of leaded gasoline, with an additional contribution due to the use of methyl bromide a...

Atmospheric chemistry.

T he field of atmospheric chemistry is very broad, both in the problems addressed and in the approaches taken. Thus, it includes laboratory and theoretical studies, field measurements, and modeling, and addresses chemistry from the lower to the upper atmosphere, in remote and polluted regions, from marine to continental areas, and both outdoors and indoors. Given this complexity, it is impossib...

Atmospheric Chemistry of Alcohols

A química atmosférica dos álcoois, os quais são largamente empregados como combustíveis de veículos leves (como o etanol no Brasil) e solventes industriais, foi revista com o foco centralizado em seus aspectos de cinética e mecanismos de reação. A oxidação dos álcoois na atmosfera envolve sua reação com radicais hidroxil (OH). São apresentadas constantes de velocidade para a reação álcool-OH de...
