Name: Ng Research Group_20220710_Limonene_Nitrate radical_Ammonium sulfate_LIM-2
Date: 2022-07-10
Organization

Chamber
Georgia Tech Environmental Chamber (Far)
Experiment Set
MultiPrecursor_Takeuchi
Goals
To derive an SOA mass yield curve for limonene+NO3 system and to serve as a base case for the pure limonene system when comparing single- vs. multi-precursor systems.
Summary
0.8 uL of liquid limonene was injected, followed by the injection of 80 ppb of N2O5 (source of nitrate radical) at a rate of 11.3 ppb min-1.
Additional Notes
Initial oxidant concentration is the injected N2O5 concentration.Experiment Details

Time format and units: Time is either ET or in min.
Description:
To understand whether or not the formation and properties of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in multi-precursor systems can be described linearly using respective single-precursor systems. The system to investigate is nitrate radical oxidation of a-pinene and limonene.
