Zusammenfassung |
The secondary organic aerosol (SOA) yield of β-caryophyllene
photooxidation is enhanced by aerosol acidity. In the present study, the
influence of aerosol acidity on the chemical composition of
β-caryophyllene SOA is investigated using ultra performance liquid
chromatography/electrospray ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry
(UPLC/ESI-TOFMS). A number of first-, second- and higher-generation
gas-phase products having carbonyl and carboxylic acid functional groups are
detected in the particle phase. Particle-phase reaction products formed via
hydration and organosulfate formation processes are also detected. Increased
acidity leads to different effects on the abundance of individual products;
significantly, abundances of organosulfates are correlated with aerosol
acidity. To our knowledge, this is the first detection of organosulfates and
nitrated organosulfates derived from a sesquiterpene. The increase of
certain particle-phase reaction products with increased acidity provides
chemical evidence to support the acid-enhanced SOA yields. Based on the
agreement between the chromatographic retention times and accurate mass
measurements of chamber and field samples, three β-caryophyllene
products (i.e., β-nocaryophyllon aldehyde, β-hydroxynocaryophyllon aldehyde, and β-dihydroxynocaryophyllon
aldehyde) are suggested as chemical tracers for β-caryophyllene SOA.
These compounds are detected in both day and night ambient samples collected
in downtown Atlanta, GA and rural Yorkville, GA during the 2008 August
Mini-Intensive Gas and Aerosol Study (AMIGAS). |
