ABSTRACT: Sulfur dioxide and organic aldehydes in the atmosphere are ubiquitous and often

15

correlated with mineral dust aerosols. Heterogeneous uptake and adsorption of one of these

16

species on mineral aerosols can potentially change the properties of the particles, and further

17

affect the subsequent heterogeneous reactions of the other species on the coating particles. In this

18

study, the interactions between heterogeneous uptake and adsorption of sulfur dioxide and

19

acetaldehyde on hematite are investigated by using in situ diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier-

20

transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) at room temperature. It is found that the pre-adsorption of SO2

21

on α-Fe2O3 can significantly hinder the subsequent heterogeneous oxidation of CH3CHO to

22

acetate, while the pre-adsorption of CH3CHO significantly suppresses the heterogeneous reaction

23

of large amount of SO2 on the surface of α-Fe2O3, and has a little influence on the uptake of

24

small amount of SO2. The heterogeneous reactions of SO2 on α-Fe2O3 pre-adsorbed by CH3CHO

25

change the existing acetate on the particle surface into chemisorbed acetic acid, for the

26

enhancement of surface acidity after the uptake of SO2. During these processes, different surface

27

hydroxyl groups showed different reactivities. Atmospheric implications of this study are

28

discussed.

1. INTRODUCTION

38

Mineral aerosols, which account for about 30-60% of global aerosols, are important types of

39

particles in the atmosphere and have strong effects on climate and public health.1,2 It is estimated

40

that 1000 to 3000 Tg of such aerosols are emitted annually into the atmosphere,3 and their

41

existence in the Earth’s atmosphere provides reactive surfaces for heterogeneous chemistry.4

42

Therefore the heterogeneous reactions of atmospheric trace gases on mineral aerosols have been

43

receiving increasing attention in the past decade. Past studies on heterogeneous reactions with

44

aerosol particles have focused mainly on individual trace gas or aerosol particles with single

45

composition. However, heterogeneous uptake of individual trace gas such as SO2, NO2 and

46

aldehydes on the mineral aerosols can significantly change the physical and chemical properties

47

of the particles due to the surface formed water-soluble ions like sulfate, nitrate and

48

carboxylates,5-7 which may impact the following heterogeneous reactions of other pollutant gas

49

on the coating aerosols. However, little attention was paid to the effect of pre-adsorption of the

50

pollutants on the adsorption and reaction processes on the mineral aerosols. Previous laboratory

51

studies of both inorganic gas pollutants have shown that a synergistic effect exists in the

52

heterogeneous reaction between SO2 and NO2 on different mineral oxides,8-10 while in the case

53

of inorganic and organic gas pollutants, HCOOH is found hindered significantly by coexisting

54

SO2,2 and organic amines pre-adsorbed on hematite significantly enhanced the reactivity of

55

COS.11 However, the research on this aspect is still limited. It is then interested to study on the

56

surface of mineral aerosols how the adsorption of one trace gas would impact the following

57

uptake of the other trace gas.

58

Hematite (α-Fe2O3) is one of the typical components of mineral aerosols, which contributes to

59

~ 6 wt% to it in the atmosphere.12As an essential nutrient for all organisms, soluble iron supply

60

plays a limiting factor on phytoplankton growth over vast areas of the modern ocean and has

61

effects on the oceanic CO2 uptake, which affects ocean biogeochemistry and therefore having

62

feedback effects on global climate.13 The long-range transport of aeolian dust is the dominant

63

iron external input to the open ocean surface, during which atmospheric chemical processing of

64

iron containing dust aerosols can affect the amount of soluble iron.14,15 Therefore, interest has

65

been put on the atmospheric chemistry of α-Fe2O3, and it is here chosen as model compound.

66

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is a principal sulfur-containing anthropogenic pollutant in the

67

atmosphere,12 and it is the major precursor of sulfuric acid and sulfate aerosols. It is well known

68

that sulfuric acid plays a significant role in the formation of atmospheric new particles,15 and

69

sulfate aerosols are known to cause detrimental health effects

70

solar radiation, resulting in a net cooling effect, as well as acting as cloud condensation nuclei

71

and thereby indirectly affecting climate.12 Hence,

72

atmosphere is of great concern, and three oxidation pathways have been revealed, including gas

73

phase oxidation, aqueous phase oxidation in cloud or fog droplets, and heterogeneous reactions

74

on the surfaces of aerosol particles.17 Many models have been applied to investigate the

75

formation of sulfate aerosols on a global scale. The results show that atmospheric concentrations

76

of SO2 are typically overestimated while sulfate tend to be underestimated,18,19 and the two

77

pathways including gaseous oxidation and aqueous oxidation are insufficient to bridge the gap

78

between field and modeling studies,20 indicating remaining uncertainties of the atmospheric

79

sulfate formation mechanisms and implying that the heterogeneous conversion of SO2 to sulfate

80

on aerosols may make an important contribution to atmospheric sulfate abundance. Increasing

81

attention has been paid on the heterogeneous oxidation of SO2 to sulfate on aerosols for its

82

importance and complexities in recent years.2,8,10,11,21

83

Aldehydes are ubiquitous in the atmosphere. They are emitted directly from combustion

84

sources and produced by photochemical oxidation of hydrocarbons including alkanes and

85

alkenes. Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), as one of the most abundant aldehydes in the atmosphere,22

86

originates from a variety of domestic and industrial sources.23 The widespread use of aldehyde-

87

based resins and construction materials

88

oxygenates result in the emission of CH3CHO.25,26 By itself, low-level exposure to CH3CHO has

89

been shown to induce adverse health effects.27 Indirectly, it can act as a precursor in the

90

photochemical formation of tropospheric ozone to compromise domestic air quality.28

91

Heterogeneous reactions of CH3CHO on oxide particles have been studied,22,23,29,30 and the

92

results show that through hydrogen bonding interaction between the carbonyl compound and the

93

surface hydroxyl groups, CH3CHO molecules are weakly and reversibly physisorbed on the

94

surface of the SiO2 particles, while on the surface of other oxides (α-Al2O3, CaO and TiO2)

95

CH3CHO molecules can undergo heterogeneous reactions to yield irreversibly adsorbed higher

96

molecular weight unsaturated carbonyl compounds. However, there is little reaction on the

97

surface of α-Fe2O3 as suggested by Li et al.29 It is expected that under atmospheric conditions

98

CH3CHO molecules can adsorb on mineral dust aerosols,29 and may change the surface

99

properties of those aerosols, which would impact on the uptake behaviors of these particles.

24

together with the incomplete combustion of fuel

100

Based on the heterogeneous reactions on α-Fe2O3 particles of individual gas-phase CH3CHO

101

and SO2, in the current work we focus on the impact these reactions have on trace gas uptake

102

behaviors of the particles, that is the interactions between the heterogeneous uptake and

103

adsorption of SO2 and CH3CHO on hematite, using in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier

104

spectroscopy (in situ DRIFTS). The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of

105

how CH3CHO and SO2 affect each other on the heterogeneous reactions with atmospheric

2. EXPERIMENTAL SECTION

109

2.1 Materials. α-Fe2O3 powder was synthesized according to the procedure in previous work,21

110

and was kept in a desiccator at 68% relative humidity (RH) for 48 h before in situ DRIFTS

111

experiments. The sample was still loose fine powders after the equilibration, and this treatment

112

caused some adsorbed water molecule layers to be present on the samples. Powder X-ray

113

diffraction (Rigaku D/MAX-II X-ray diffractometer with Cu Kα) was used to verify the purity of

114

the synthesized sample (see Figure S1), only hematite peaks were observed (JCPDS, Card

115

No.33-0664).The synthesized particles are fairly uniformed, in size (ca.100 µm), and diamond

116

shaped (see Figure S2),which is consistent with previous study.21

117

Ar (99.999% purity, Shanghai Yunguang Specialty Gases Inc.) and O2 (99.999% purity,

118

Shanghai Yunguang Specialty Gases Inc.) were introduced through an air dryer of silica gel and

119

molecular sieve before use. SO2 (100 ppm, SO2/N2), CH3CHO (100 ppm, CH3CHO/N2) were

120

used as reactant gases.

121

2.2 In situ DRIFTS Experiments. Heterogeneous reaction studies were performed by using

122

in situ DRIFTS, similar to our previous works.11,21,31 Infrared spectra were recorded in the

123

spectral range from 4000 to 650 cm-1 using a Nicolet Avatar 360 FTIR spectrometer equipped

124

with a MCT detector and a diffuse reflectance accessory. IR spectra were recorded at a resolution

125

of 4 cm-1, and 100 scans were averaged for each spectrum resulting in a time resolution of 1 min.

126

A 40 mg (± 0.02 mg) sample was placed in ceramic crucible into the chamber, with the

127

temperature of which kept at 298 K by using a temperature controller.

The sample was first purged with Ar (100 mL/min) for 1 h, and followed by a sample

129

background spectrum used for subsequent spectra. And then the reactant gas along with synthetic

130

air (21% O2 and 79% N2) was introduced into the chamber at a total flow rate of 100 mL/min for

131

2 h, during which the IR spectrum in the flow reaction system was recorded automatically every

132

10 min. All the IR spectra were recorded at a resolution of 4 cm-1 for 100 scans.

133

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

134

To investigate the impact of pre-adsorption of CH3CHO on the heterogeneous reaction of SO2

135

and vice versa, the following aspects were studied: 1) Investigation of heterogeneous reaction of

136

CH3CHO and SO2 on pure α-Fe2O3 individually. 2) Investigation of heterogeneous reaction of

137

CH3CHO (or SO2) on α-Fe2O3 pre-treated with SO2 (or CH3CHO).

138

3.1 Heterogeneous reaction of CH3CHO on α-Fe2O3. The heterogeneous uptake of

139

acetaldehyde onto the surface of α-Fe2O3 particles at 298 K was investigated at first. DRIFTS

140

spectra following the exposure of CH3CHO (80 ppm) in synthetic air on α-Fe2O3 particles at a

141

flow of 100 mL/min, as a function of time for a period of 2 h are shown in Figure 1. These

142

DRIFTS spectra provide valuable information of different surface species adsorbed on the α-

143

Fe2O3 particles by the vibrational modes. Bands around 1700 cm-1 (ν C=O) are observed only at

144

the very beginning (see Figure S3), the signal of which is very weak and disappears quickly,

145

corresponding to the limited molecular CH3CHO (physisorbed and chemisorbed) on the surface

146

of α-Fe2O3.32 It can be inferred that CH3CHO molecules are quickly transformed to other species

147

on the surface of α-Fe2O3. At low exposure (1 min, shown in Figure S3), weak bands at 2977 (νas

148

CH3), 2930 (ν CH), 2860 (νs CH3), 1460 (δas CH3), 1370 (δs CH3), 1180 (ν C-O-C), and 1100 (νs

149

C-O) cm-1 are observed, corresponding to the formation of predominant product gem-diol

150

(CH3CH(OH)2) and a small amount of dimer (CH3CH(OH)OCH(OH)CH3).33,34 No consumption

151

of surface hydroxyl groups at this stage implies the role of Lewis acid sites. The Lewis acid sites

152

can interact with carbonyl oxygen of CH3CHO to form adsorbed CH3CHO, and may catalyze the

153

hydration of CH3CHO to produce gem-diol, and further catalyze the subsequent polymerization

154

reaction between the hydroxyl groups of gem-diol and adsorbed CH3CHO33 or dehydration

155

between gem-diol molecules to produce the dimer.34 With increasing exposure, intensive bands

156

at 1558 (νas COO), 1454 (δas CH3), 1410 (νs COO), 1338 (δs CH3) cm-1 and two weak shoulder

157

bands at 1432 cm-1(νas COO) and 1388 (δs CH3) gradually show up, 35-36 corresponding to acetate

158

(already observed on the same surface after the adsorption of acetic acid).32 This indicates that

159

CH3CHO can be oxidized into acetate on the surface of α-Fe2O3, which is in good agreement

160

with the previous report.32 Weak bands at 1130 (ν C-O-C) and 1053 (νs C-O) cm-1 can also be

161

observed for the increasing formation of gem-diol and dimer. When the exposure time of

162

CH3CHO is increased to 1 h, bands at 1053 and 1100 cm-1 begin to decrease with other bands

163

increasing continuously in intensity (see Figure S4), indicating the occurrence of secondary

164

reactions of surface-formed gem-diol. One possible explanation is that the oxidation of adsorbed

165

CH3CHO to acetate suppresses the formation of gem-diol molecules, while the existed gem-diol

166

continues to transform to dimer.

167

Overall, CH3CHO can transform into other species when adsorbed onto α-Fe2O3. As discussed

168

above, within the 2 h reaction time, at least three products are observed on the surface of α-

169

Fe2O3. Acetate is identified as the dominant surface product while gem-diol and dimer as the

170

minor surface products, because the intensives of bands in the region of 1600-1250 cm-1 is much

171

higher than those in the region of 1250-1000 cm-1. The weaker bands in the region of 1250-1000

172

cm-1 may also imply the low coverage of Lewis acid sites on humid α-Fe2O3.

173

Some studies have reported that adol condensation occurred when CH3CHO or acetone was

174

adsorbed on some oxide particles,22,29,37 while others have reported that the formation of

175

crotonaldehyde cannot occur on α-Fe2O329,32 and oxidized anatase38 after the exposure of

176

CH3CHO. In our study, except that the ν(C=O) mode of adsorbed CH3CHO is observed only at

177

the very beginning, neither bands around 1700 cm-1 (ν C=O) nor bands near 1600 cm-1 (ν C=C)

178

are observed with increasing exposure. This rules out the formation of crotonaldehyde

179

(CH3CH=CHCHO), indicating no occurrence of adol condensation.

187

surface of α-Fe2O3,39 which suggests that the OH groups are the reaction active sites for the

188

heterogeneous reaction of CH3CHO with α-Fe2O3.

189

It is worth noting that the intensities of all the bands are rather weak when the concentration

190

of CH3CHO is set to be 3 ppm, indicating little reaction on the surface of α-Fe2O3, which is

191

consistent with that previously reported by Li et al.29 However, when the concentration of

192

CH3CHO is changed up to 80 ppm, a number of bands emerged with the increase of exposure

193

time, and the surface of α-Fe2O3 is almost saturated after adsorption of 80 ppm CH3CHO for 2 h.

194

Therefore, all the experiments in this study, the concentration of CH3CHO was set to be 80 ppm.

195

The detailed assignments of bands formed during the reaction are summarized in Table 1. The

196

proposed mechanism of the heterogeneous uptake of CH3CHO on α-Fe2O3 is depicted as follows

3.2 Heterogeneous reaction of SO2 on α-Fe2O3. Figure 2 shows the infrared spectra recorded

207

during the heterogeneous reaction of SO2 (3 ppm) on α-Fe2O3 particles as a function of SO2

208

exposure time. Three main bands at 1261, 1158, and 1010 cm−1 and three weak shoulder bands at

209

1361, 1337 and 1050 cm-1 are observed in the spectra, and the intensities of these bands increase

210

as the reaction proceeds. These bands can be assigned to the adsorbed sulfate and/or bisulfate,

211

which is consistent with previous studies.4,31,37,40

Five major negative bands at 3671, 3664, 3652, 3634 and 3621 cm-1 were observed during the

213

reaction. These 5 bands can be assigned to stretching vibration modes of isolated surface

214

hydroxyl groups bonded to the surface iron ions of octahedral site and tetrahedral sites,37 which

215

is in good agreement with the previous studies,4,31,37 indicating the consumption of hydroxyl

216

groups on the surface of α-Fe2O3 during the reaction. Another broad band from 3600 to 2800 cm-

Additionally, similar spectra were obtained when increasing the concentration of SO2 from 3

220

ppm to 80 ppm (see Figure S5), indicating the formation of the same surface products. In

221

contrast to the spectra collected from the uptake of low SO2 concentration (3 ppm), the intensities

222

of the surface products significantly increase at first and then grow more and more slowly as the

223

reaction proceeds, which suggests that saturation phenomenon on sulfate formation gradually

224

appears. Therefore, in this study, the concentration of SO2 is chosen to be 3 ppm and 80 ppm to

225

represent the small amount and enough amount of SO2 respectively.

3.3 Interactions between heterogeneous uptake and adsorption of SO2 and CH3CHO on α-

231

Fe2O3. To understand the effect of pre-adsorption of CH3CHO on heterogeneous reaction of SO2

232

on α-Fe2O3, and vice versa, two exposure experiments were performed. There were 5 steps for

233

each exposure experiment: 1) α-Fe2O3 particles were purged with Ar for 1 h at 298 K; 2)

234

CH3CHO (or SO2) was introduced with synthetic air for 2 h; 3) particles were purged with Ar for

235

1 h for the second time; 4) SO2 (or CH3CHO) was introduced with synthetic air for 2 h; 5)

236

particles were purged with Ar for 1 h for the third time. In the end of step 1 and 3, backgrounds

237

were recorded for subsequent spectrum collection. IR spectra in the flow reaction system were

238

recorded automatically every 10 min during step 2 and 4, and in the end (1 h) of step 3 and 5.

3.3.1 Heterogeneous uptake of SO2 on CH3CHO pre-adsorbed α-Fe2O3. FTIR spectra of

240

heterogeneous uptake of SO2 on α-Fe2O3 particles after pre-treatment with CH3CHO (80 ppm)

241

are shown in Figure 3. Each spectrum was obtained by referencing to the coating α-Fe2O3

242

spectrum after pre-adsorption of CH3CHO. Positive bands at 1682, 1300, 1260, 1154 cm-1 and

243

two negative bands at 1558 and 1410 cm-1 are observed growing as a function of increasing

244

exposure time. As discussed above, the bands at 1260 and 1154 cm-1 are assigned to

245

bisulfate/sulfate. New bands at 1682 cm-1 (ν C=O) together with 1300 cm-1 (ν C-OH) are

246

ascribed to the formation of chemisorbed acetic acid, bonded coordinatively through the

247

carbonyl oxygen to Lewis acid sites,32,41 which is not affected by subsequent Ar purging.

248

Negative bands at 1558 and 1409 cm-1 indicates the loss of COO-. In addition, the isolated

249

surface hydroxyl groups (3632, and 3621 cm-1) are also consumed as the reaction proceeds.

Page 16 of 41

261

The explanation might be that with the introduction of SO2 onto the α-Fe2O3 particles, surface

262

acidity increases as bisulfate/sulfate forms, and thus surface coordinated acetate ions are

263

transformed into chemisorbed acetic acid, which results in the consumption of COO- and the

264

formation of –COOH, as well as the possible transformation of coordination modes of sulfates.42

265

It also can be supported by the evidence that the intensities of the broad band from 3600 to 2800

266

cm-1 is weaker in the case of α-Fe2O3 pre-adsorbed CH3CHO than that of pure α-Fe2O3 (Figure

267

4a). Also, this evidence indicates that the products formed by the pre-adsorption of CH3CHO on

268

α-Fe2O3 disturb the formation of hydrogen-bonds based on the acidic species produced from the

269

heterogeneous reaction of SO2.

270

It is worth noting that when the concentration of introduced SO2 is 3 ppm, the pre-adsorption

271

of CH3CHO does not significantly affect the bisulfate/sulfate formation as shown in Figure 4a.

272

However, when the concentration of introduced SO2 increases up to 80 ppm, the formation of

273

bisulfate/sulfate is hindered significantly within the 2 h (Figure 4b). In other words, the pre-

274

adsorption of CH3CHO significantly suppresses the heterogeneous reaction of large amount of

275

SO2 on the surface of α-Fe2O3, while it has a little influence on the uptake of small amount of

276

SO2.

277

Earlier studies of SO2 and CH3CHO adsorption on α-Fe2O3 have shown that hydroxyl groups

278

and adsorbed water play an important role in the surface chemistry, and can be consumed during

279

the uptake of SO2 and CH3CHO.23,31 The disappearance of adsorbed water will hinder the

280

regeneration of hydroxyl groups,31 and hence the total amount of hydroxyl groups during the

281

whole reaction will be limited. In this study, the suppression may be attributed to these limited

282

surface hydroxyl groups. The pre-adsorption of CH3CHO mainly consumes the hydroxyl groups

283

with vibrational frequencies in the region from 3700-3647 cm-1. However, SO2 has no preference

284

for the hydroxyl groups with vibrational frequencies in the region from 3700-3600 cm-1 when

285

heterogeneous reaction occurs. Therefore, after the pre-adsorption of CH3CHO for 2 h, the left

286

hydroxyl groups are sufficient for the uptake of small amount of SO2 (3 ppm, 2 h), but

287

inadequate for large amount of SO2 (80 ppm, 2 h). The details will be further discussed in section

288

3.3.3.

3.3.2 Heterogeneous reaction of CH3CHO on SO2 pre-adsorbed α-Fe2O3. DRIFT spectra

290

of heterogeneous reaction of CH3CHO on α-Fe2O3 particles after pre-treatment with SO2 (3 ppm)

291

are shown in Figure 5. Predominant bands at 1716, 1682, 1652, 1558 and 1410 cm-1 are observed

292

increasing as a function of time. The two bands at 1558 and 1410 cm-1 are assigned to acetate as

293

discussed above, while the three bands at 1716, 1682 and 1652 cm-1 are in the region of C=O

294

stretching vibrations. To show the difference of surface products with uptake of CH3CHO (2 h)

295

in various conditions, Figure 6 is presented. Compared with the adsorption of CH3CHO on pure

296

α-Fe2O3, several new bands (1716, 1682 and 1652 cm-1) appear in the case of heterogeneous

297

reaction of CH3CHO on SO2 pre-treated α-Fe2O3. The band at 1716 cm-1 disappears after the

298

purging, while the other two bands at 1682 and 1652 cm-1 are more resistant to the purging,

299

which suggests that the band at 1716 cm-1 corresponds to physisorbed CH3CHO while the bands

300

at 1682 and 1652 cm-1 correspond to chemisorbed acetic acid and CH3CHO respectively.30,32

301

Apart from the appearance of new bands, intensities of the bands for acetate (1558 and 1410 cm-1)

302

are much weaker on the surface of SO2 pre-treated α-Fe2O3 than pure one, suggesting that the

303

pre-adsorption of SO2 can significantly hinder the heterogeneous reaction between CH3CHO and

304

α-Fe2O3 particles. When the pre-adsorption concentration of SO2 increases from 3 ppm to 80

305

ppm, molecular CH3CHO and CH3COOH become the dominant products on the particle surfaces,

306

and acetate and gem-diol species are hard to detect. No negative band shows up in the range of

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

17

The Journal of Physical Chemistry

307

1300-1000 cm-1, suggesting that the surface sulfates have not been affected by the heterogeneous

308

reaction of CH3CHO on α-Fe2O3. The negative effect of pre-adsorption of SO2 on heterogeneous

309

reaction of CH3CHO on α-Fe2O3 may be attributed to that the heterogeneous reaction between

310

SO2 and α-Fe2O3 particles can consume the surface isolated hydroxyl groups and form steric

311

hindrance of the surface catalysis,37 resulting in a weaker conversion from CH3CHO to acetate.

312

Additionally, the pre-adsorption of SO2 on α-Fe2O3 increases the acidity of particle surface by

313

the formation of acidic species, which leads to the formation of CH3COOH rather than CH3COO-

314

, as the acidity of HSO4- (pKa=1.99) is stronger than that of CH3COOH (pKa=4.75).

345

according to their vibration frequencies: (I) bands between 3700-3647 cm-1, (II) bands between

346

3647-3600 cm-1 and (III) bands less than 3600 cm-1. Hydroxyl groups of type I and II are

347

assigned to isolated surface hydroxyl groups, while those of type III are assigned to perturbed

348

surface hydroxyl groups,39 which are perturbed by the hydrogen bond interactions with adjacent

349

hydroxyl groups, and only isolated surface hydroxyl groups are consumed in all of our

350

experiments. As shown in Figure 7a, a large amount of surface hydroxyl groups of type I and a

351

small part of type II are consumed when large amount of CH3CHO (80 ppm, 2 h) is introduced

352

onto α-Fe2O3 sample, while in the case of SO2 (80 ppm, 2 h), surface hydroxyl groups of type I

353

and II are evenly consumed (see Figure 7b). It can be inferred that the heterogeneous reaction of

354

80 ppm CH3CHO on α-Fe2O3 for 2 h mainly exhausts surface hydroxyl groups of type I, while

355

SO2 exhausts hydroxyl groups of type I and II.

356

When α-Fe2O3 particles are pre-treated with CH3CHO (80 ppm, 2 h), the surface hydroxyl

357

groups of type I are already exhausted and part of type II are left, and thus only some left surface

358

hydroxyl groups of type II can be used as active sites for the following uptake of SO2. For the

359

following conversion of small amount of SO2 (3 ppm, 2 h), the results show that the left surface

360

hydroxyl groups of type II are sufficient, and the amount of the formed sulfate/bisulfate is the

361

same as that of the individual uptake of SO2 (3 ppm, 2 h) on the pure particles. However, when

362

the SO2 (80 ppm, 2 h) is introduced onto the coated particles (see Figure 7c), no appearance of

363

negative bands in the region of the hydroxyl groups of type I indicates that no hydroxyl groups

364

of type I can be consumed. The left hydroxyl groups of type II compared to the pure particles

365

with enough hydroxyl groups of type I and II are insufficient to transform the same amount of

366

SO2 to bisulfate/sulfate as on pure α-Fe2O3 particles, and results in the formation of less amount

367

of sulfate/bisulfate compared with the case without pre-adsorption of CH3CHO, suggesting the

368

suppression for the heterogeneous reaction of high concentration SO2.

369

Inversely, when α-Fe2O3 particles are pre-treated with SO2 (80 ppm, 2 h), the surface hydroxyl

370

groups of type II are already exhausted and only some surface hydroxyl groups of type I are left.

371

However, when the CH3CHO (80 ppm, 2 h) is introduced onto this kind of coated particles (see

Figure 7d), no further consumption of the left hydroxyl groups of type I is observed, indicating

373

the indispensable role of the surface hydroxyl groups of type II and the influence of the

374

heterogeneous uptake of SO2 with high concentration. Instead of reacting with the left surface

375

hydroxyl groups of type I, surface adsorbed CH3CHO together with some acetic acid is still

376

observed (also see Figure 6). The possible explanation may be that the other active sites such as

377

Lewis acid sites and oxygen vacancies may be responsible for the oxidation of CH3CHO and the

378

formation of acetic acid in the presence of O2. When α-Fe2O3 particles are pre-treated with

379

insufficient SO2 (3 ppm, 2 h), the surface hydroxyl groups of type I and type II are not exhausted

380

(see Figure 7e), and the left type I and II surface hydroxyl groups can be further used as active

381

sites. When the CH3CHO (80 ppm, 2 h) is introduced onto the coated particles (see Figure 7f), it

382

would use up the left surface hydroxyl groups of type II, which is supported by the following fact,

383

that is, in the range of type II in Figure 7e, 7f and 7a, the sum of spectrum of 2 h individual SO2

384

(3 ppm) and spectrum of 2 h CH3CHO (80 ppm) on SO2 (3 ppm, 2 h) coating particles coincides

385

with the spectrum of 2 h individual CH3CHO (80 ppm).

4. CONCLUSIONS AND ATMOSPHERIC IMPLICATIONS.

387

In this study, the effects of pre-adsorption of CH3CHO (or SO2) and the role of hydroxyl groups

388

on uptake of SO2 (or CH3CHO), two ubiquitous atmospheric gases, on α-Fe2O3 were

389

investigated. According to the experimental observations reported in this study, isolated

390

hydroxyl groups rather than perturbed surface hydroxyl groups play a significant role in the

391

heterogeneous oxidations of CH3CHO to acetate and SO2 to sulfate/bisulfate on α-Fe2O3, and

392

isolated hydroxyl groups have different reactivities in the individual uptake of CH3CHO and SO2

393

due to different surface sites. It is found that the pre-adsorption of SO2 on α-Fe2O3 significantly

394

hinder the following heterogeneous oxidation of CH3CHO to acetate, change the adsorption into

395

physisorption and chemisorption of CH3CHO, as fewer isolated hydroxyl groups can be obtained

396

as active sites after the uptake of SO2. In the other case, the pre-adsorption of CH3CHO

397

significantly suppresses the heterogeneous reaction of large amount of SO2 on the surface of α-

398

Fe2O3, while it has a little influence on the uptake of small amount of SO2. Additionally,

399

heterogeneous reactions of SO2 on α-Fe2O3 pre-adsorbed by CH3CHO change the existing

400

acetate on the particle surface into chemisorbed acetic acid, for the enhancement of surface

401

acidity after the uptake of SO2.

402

Previously, much attention was paid on the mechanism and kinetics of heterogeneous reactions

403

of SO2 and CH3CHO, individually, on mineral aerosols.4,22,30 However, in the atmosphere,

404

during the transportation of airborne mineral aerosols, heterogeneous reaction between SO2, or

405

CH3CHO with those aerosols would occur. Then, the physical and chemical properties of those

406

aerosols could be changed, providing secondary aerosols, and the hereafter heterogeneous

407

reactions would not be the same as on the pure one. According to the results of this study, uptake

408

of CH3CHO on α-Fe2O3 particles is affected by the pre-adsorption of SO2, and vice versa. This

409

shows the complexity of the heterogeneous reaction of SO2 and CH3CHO on airborne mineral

410

aerosols, and could provide more information of the sulfate and acetate formation in the real

411

atmosphere, by considering the pre-adsoprtion of CH3CHO and SO2.
