Experiment
Name: Caltech Atmospheric Chamber_20130410_trans-beta IEPOX/hydrogen peroxide_Hydroxyl radical_Ammonium sulfate
Date: 2013-04-10
Organization
Caltech Atmospheric Chamber
Chamber
Near/Far Bag 2012-2015 (Tran)
Experiment Set
IEPOX uptake experiments
Goals
IEPOX was introduced to hydrated ammonium sulfate at 50% RH, the chamber was cooled to to remove the IEPOX from the gas phase (no more traces in CIMS); this increased the RH to ~80%) then H2O2 was added and lights turned on to photolyze the IEPOX on the particles and walls.
Summary
The organic aerosol as seen on AMS reacted nearly all away. Fragmentation products such as hydroxyacetone, glycolaldehyde, formic acid, acetic acid, and peroxyacetic acid were seen as products on CIMS
Additional Notes
Note that this experiment needs a chamber blank to subtract out the gas phase oxygenated voc formation from the walls.Experiment Details

Experiment Set Details
Name: IEPOX uptake experiments
Time format and units: Experiment time (minutes, local)
Description:
Reactive uptake of cis and trans beta-IEPOX (isoprene epoxydiols with the epoxide in the 2-position, and the -CH2OH in the cis and trans conformations) onto dry and hydrated seeds of ammonium sulfate (AS), as well as other inorganic seeds. Note that wall loss is already applied to AMS particle data.
