Experiment

Name: Ng Research Group_20171012_ALPHA-PINENE_Nitrate radical_Ammonium sulfate_dry
Date: 2017-10-12

Organization
Ng Research Group

Chamber
Georgia Tech Environmental Chamber (Far)

Experiment Set
Monoterpene ON_Takeuchi

Goals
To characterize particulate organic nitrate generated from NO3 oxidation of a-pinene and understand its hydrolysis process.

Summary
SOA including particulate organic nitrate formed by 12 ppb of a-pinene injected as precursor VOC and 80 ppb N2O5 injected as oxidant precursor + ~50 ppm HCHO as HO2 source.

Additional Notes
Used to compare with the same experiment but in humid condition.
