Abstract
The neutralization reaction of micro-encapsulated sulfuric acid aerosol with gaseous ammonia has been investigated. Experimental parameters were: influence of different coating substances, coating thickness, relative humidity and reaction time. The reaction of H 2SO 4 aerosol with NH 3 was measured as a function of time by chemical characterization of the particulate and gaseous phase before and after mixing of the reactants in a flow reactor. A remarkable decrease in the reaction rate was observed, depending on molecular structure of the organic coating substance and the thickness of coating. Straight chain molecules like n-hexadecane and n-hexadecanol strongly retard the reaction. Branched chain molecules as coating showed no significant effect, probably because of their inability to form tight films. Naturally occurring organic coating substances affect the neutralization, too. The mass transport resistance of the films investigated are interpreted in terms of the accommodation and reaction coefficient.
