| description | Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) were generated from the ozonolysis of
α-pinene in the CESAM (French acronym for Experimental
Multiphasic Atmospheric Simulation Chamber) simulation chamber. The SOA formation and
aging were studied by following their optical, hygroscopic and chemical
properties. The optical properties were investigated by determining the
particle complex refractive index (CRI). The hygroscopicity was quantified
by measuring the effect of relative humidity (RH) on the particle size (size growth factor, GF)
and on the scattering coefficient (scattering growth factor, <i>f</i>(RH)). The oxygen to
carbon atomic ratios (O : C) of the particle surface and bulk were used as a
sensitive parameter to correlate the changes in hygroscopic and optical
properties of the SOA composition during their formation and aging in CESAM.
<br><br>
The real CRI at 525 nm wavelength decreased from 1.43–1.60 (±0.02) to
1.32–1.38 (±0.02) during the SOA formation. The decrease in the real
CRI correlated to the O : C decrease from 0.68 (±0.20) to 0.55 (±0.16). In contrast, the GF remained roughly constant over the reaction time,
with values of 1.02–1.07 (±0.02) at 90% (±4.2%) RH.
Simultaneous measurements of O : C of the particle surface revealed that the
SOA was not composed of a homogeneous mixture, but contained less oxidised
species at the surface which may limit water absorption. In addition, an
apparent change in both mobility diameter and scattering coefficient with
increasing RH from 0 to 30% was observed for SOA after 14 h of
reaction. We postulate that this change could be due to a change in the
viscosity of the SOA from a predominantly glassy state to a predominantly
liquid state. |
