Abstract

19

Rate coefficients have been determined at (298 ± 2) K and atmospheric pressure for

20

the reaction of OH radicals with two primary mono-alkyl, one secondary di-alkyl and

21

five tertiary tri-alkyl substituted amines in a large volume photoreactor using the

22

relative kinetic technique. The following rate coefficients (in cm3 molecule-1 s-1 units)

23

have been obtained:

43

The quoted errors are the 2σ deviations from least-squares linear analyse of the

44

kinetic date plus a contribution to take into account uncertainties associated with the

45

reference compounds. With the exception of diethylamine this study represents the

46

first determinations of the rate coefficients for reaction of the compounds with OH

47

radicals. The results are compared with rate coefficients available in the literature for

48

smaller alkyl substituted amines and also the values predicted for the compounds

49

investigated using a structure activity relationship (SAR). With the exception of tert-

50

amylamine the SAR predicted OH rate coefficients are in good agreement with the

51

experimental values. 2 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Introduction

55

Amines are derivatives of ammonia (NH3) where one, two or three of the hydrogen

56

atoms are replaced by organic groups to produce primary, secondary and tertiary

57

amines, respectively. Amines are emitted to the atmosphere from natural sources

58

such as oceans, biomass burning, vegetation and geologic activities and a number

59

of current and proposed large scale industrial processes make use of amines which

60

will result in fugitive emissions. For example, they are used to a large extent in the

61

pharmaceutical industry and are widely used in developing chemicals for crop

62

protection, medication and water purification. Amines are used in a diverse array of

63

end-use applications such as personal care products, agricultural chemicals,

64

cleaning products, gas treatment, petroleum, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and

65

food processing. Amines are also used extensively in the foundry industry whereby

66

their first use dates back to the 1960s with the introduction of the Phenolic Urethane

67

Cold Box Process (PUCB).1 The PUCB process utilizes an amine gas to catalyze the

68

reaction between a phenolic resin and an isocyanate resin to produce a urethane

69

bond. In the process no by-products are produced and curing takes place at the

70

same rate throughout. Amines such as trimethylamine (TEA), dimethylethylamine

71

(DMEA) and dimethylisopropylamine (DMIPA) are commonly used to cure the

72

phenolic urethane cold box binders. The anthropogenic and natural sources of

73

atmospheric amine emissions have been reviewed recently by Ge et al.2

74

The possible large-scale use of amines such as monoethanol amine (MEA) in

75

carbon capture technologies3 and the associated potential of

76

anthropogenic amine emission to the atmosphere has helped to kindle interest in the

77

atmospheric chemistry of amines.

78

industry and market studies estimate that the size of the market will grow from USD

The amine global market is a billion dollar

13.35 Billion in 2015 to USD 19.90 Billion by 2020.4 The large scale employment of

80

amines in the diverse array of applications in which they are used will unavoidably

81

result in direct and fugitive emissions of amines to the atmosphere. Amine

82

emissions, including both anthropogenic and natural sources, are an important

83

component of VOC emissions and have impacts on important environmental topics

84

such as aerosol formation and the production of potential carcinogens. To date,

85

approximately 150 amines have been identified in the atmosphere whereby

86

according to Ge et al.2 the most common and abundant are low-molecular weight

87

aliphatic amines with carbon numbers of 1-6.

88

It is only fairly recently that the atmospheric gas-phase chemistry of low-molecular

89

weight alkylated primary, secondary and tertiary amines (mainly methylated) has

90

received attention. Reviews of the presently available gas-phase amine chemistry

91

can be found in Nielsen et al.

92

reviews emphasize the need for additional kinetic and mechanistic data in this area.

93

The multiphase chemistry of atmospheric amines has been reviewed by Qiu and

94

Zhang.9

95

Studies to date indicate that the main atmospheric fate of amines will be competition

96

between reaction with the OH radical7 and heterogeneous uptake.10,11

97

Room temperature rate coefficients have been reported in the literature for the

98

reaction of the OH radical with a number of aliphatic amines including methylamine

temperature dependency of the rate coefficients has been investigated, it has been

105

found to be negative in all cases.12,14,15,17 Reaction of OH with the amines will occur

106

via H-atom abstraction from the alkyl chains attached to the nitrogen atom and in the

107

case of primary and secondary amines also from the N-H site. Onel et al.20 have

108

recently investigated the branching ratios for αC-H and N-H abstraction in the

109

reactions of OH with methylamine, dimethylamine and ethylamine.

In this study we present determinations of rate coefficients for the reaction of the OH

Experimental

131

The experiments were performed in a large volume (1080 L) quartz-glass reaction

132

chamber at a total pressure of 760 Torr (760 Torr = 101.325 kPa) of synthetic air and

133

(298 ± 2) K. The reactor is described in detail elsewhere21 and only a basic

134

description is given here. The chamber can be evacuated by a pumping system

135

consisting of a turbo-molecular pump backed by a double stage rotary fore pump to

136

10-3 Torr. Magnetically coupled Teflon mixing fans are mounted inside the chamber

137

to ensure homogeneous mixing of the reactants. The chamber is surrounded by two

138

types of lamps: 32 super actinic fluorescent lamps (Philips TL 05/40 W:

139

320N- reported in Nielsen et

315

al.7 which are all lower than those used in the Kwok and Atkinson24 SAR, in

316

particular, for the R3N parameter which is around 30% lower. The revised SAR

317

parameters of Nielsen et al.7 thus obviously result in lower rate coefficient estimates

318

for the reactions of OH with the amines investigated in this work and consequently

319

also in a poorer agreement between predicted and experimental values compared to

320

the Kwok and Atkinson24 SAR, especially for the tertiary amines.

321

It is interesting to consider why tert-amylamine is so much less reactive toward OH

322

than predicted by the Kwok and Atkinson24 SAR which functions reasonably well for

323

the other aliphatic amines. In contrast to all of the other aliphatic amines which have

324

been investigated here (Table 1) and also most of those reported in the literature

325

(Table 2) tert-amylamine has a tertiary carbon atom (>CCH-. It would appear

327

that in such a case the RNH2 parameter of 21 × 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 presently

328

used in the Kwok and Atkinson SAR is significantly over estimated. A value of only 7

329

to 8 × 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 for the RNH2 parameter would be required to match

330

the experimentally determined rate coefficient for OH with tert-amylamine

331

determined in this work. To our knowledge the only other alkyl amine to be

332

investigated which has a tertiary carbon atom (>C
