Abstract

Sulphur dioxide oxidation in supercooled monodisperse droplets at T4213 7C was studied in the presence of oxygen. The SO2 concentration was found to range from 0.08 to 7.1 ppmv and the contact time between gases and droplets was 210 s. The experimental results showed that sulphate concentration due to SO2 oxidation is independent of temperature, i.e. the increase of SO2 solubility in the liquid phase balances the rate constant decrease of the oxidation reaction. Following McKay’s kinetics (Atmos. Environ., 5 (1971) 7), we calculated the rate constant at T4213 7C and the activation energy. A comparison was made between experimental S(VI) oxidation concentrations due to oxygen and theoretical oxidation values due to O3, H2O2 and oxygen in the presence of catalyzers (Fe31, Mn21).
