Abstract

In order to obtain information on dry deposition of SO2 onto loess in China, the effects of water vapor and NO2 on SO2 deposition-oxidation processes were investigated in laboratory measurements. The deposition velocities of SO2 onto loess particles were 2.34–7.33 cm s−1, were high in comparison with the other studies. Deposition of SO2 onto the particles was decreased with exposed time and amounts of SO2, but was influenced by adsorption of water vapor onto the particles. On the other hand, oxidation of SO2 physically8 adsorbed was promoted by the coexistence of water vapor and NO2. So, it was indicated that it was possible for water vapor and NO2 in the atmosphere to play an important role in dry deposition for the deposition-oxidation interaction between SO2 and loess particles.
