Kinetics, Mechanism and Product Yields in the Atmospheric Oxidation of Dimethylsulfide
نویسنده
چکیده
Dimethylsulfide (DMS, CH3SCH3) produced by phytoplankton degredation is thought to be the major source of the sulfate and methanesulfonate aerosol found in the marine boundary layer. An understanding of the mechanism of formation of these aerosols is critical in evaluating the factors which control visibility in the marine boundary layer. The primary objective of this research effort is to determine the detailed mechanism of, and final product yields from, the OH initiated gas phase oxidation of DMS.

The Gas Phase Oxidation of Acetaldehyde Reaction Mechanism and Kinetics
The mechanism of the low temperature oxidation of gaseous acetaldehyde was investigated in the temperature range of 1 50-400?°C. The minor, intermediate and major products were identified and measured quantitatively by sampling directly into the ionization chamber of an MS10-C2 mass spectrometer from the reactor. The formation of H2O, CO, CO2, HCOOH, H2, HCHO, CH3COOH and CH3OH as the major pro...
متن کاملKinetic, mechanistic and thermodynamic investigations on Iridium (III) catalyzed oxidation of D-Mannitol by N-chloro-p-toluenesulfonamide in perchloric acid medium
The present paper deals with the kinetics and mechanism of homogeneously Ir(III) chloride catalyzed oxidation of D-mannitol by chloramine-T [CAT] in perchloric acid medium in the temperature range of 30 to 45 0C. The reaction is carried out in the presence of mercuric acetate as a scavenger for chloride ion. The experimental results show first order kinetics with respect to the oxidant [CAT] an...

The oxidation of n-pentanol by tetramethylammonium fluorochromate in acidic solution wasstudied using spectrophotometric technique. The reaction was arranged to be under pseudo firstorderconditions respect to the oxidant. A Michaelis-Menten type kinetic was observed respect tothe substrate. The reaction is catalyzed by hydrogen ions. Dependences of the reaction rates ontemperature and different...
متن کاملThe Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of the N-Substituted Urea-Titanium (III) Complexes by Iodine (AS I-3) in Ethanol and Acetonitrile
The oxidation of complexes of Ti(III), (TiL6)3+ (L=ur, Meur, DMeur, DEture, N-Bu-ur, and Phur), by iodine as I3- in ethanol and acetonitrile solutions, appears to proceed as a second order reaction and is much faster in ethanol solution (where solvolysis occurs) than in acetonitrile. The enthalpy of activation appears to decrease as ligand's size ...
متن کاملReply to Newland et al.: The dominant phenolic pathway for atmospheric toluene oxidation.
Ji et al. (1) reassess the atmospheric oxidation mechanism of toluene: Their experimental work shows a larger-than-expected branching ratio for cresols but negligible formation of ring-opening products and is corroborated by theoretical calculations revealing that the phenolic pathway is kinetically and thermodynamically favored over the primary peroxy radical (RO2) formation. Despite the compe...
