Evaluation on the role of sulfuric acid in the mechanisms of new particle formation for Beijing case
摘要:
New particle formation (NPF) is considered as an important mechanism for gas-to-particle transformation, and gaseous sulfuric acid is believed as a crucial precursor. Up to now few field-based studies on nucleation mechanisms and the role of sulfuric acid were conducted in China. In this study, simultaneously measurements of particle number size distributions and gaseous sulfuric acid concentrations were performed from July to September in 2008. Totally, 22 new particle formation events were observed during the entire 85 campaign days. The results show that in the case of both higher source and sink values, the result of the competition between source and sink is more likely the key limiting factor to determine the observation of NPF events in Beijing. The concentrations of gaseous sulfuric acid show good correlations with freshly nucleated particles (lt;igt;Nlt;/igt;lt;subgt;3-6lt;/subgt; and formation rates (lt;igt;Jlt;/igt;lt;subgt;3lt;/subgt; and lt;igt;Jlt;/igt;lt;subgt;1.5lt;/subgt;. The power-law relationship between Hlt;subgt;2lt;/subgt;SOlt;subgt;4lt;/subgt; concentration and lt;igt;Nlt;/igt;lt;subgt;3-6lt;/subgt; or lt;igt;Jlt;/igt; is adopted to explore the nucleation mechanism. The exponents are showed a great range (from 1 to 7). More than half of the NPF events exhibit an exponent larger than 2.5. For these cases, the thermodynamic process works better than the activation or kinetic nucleation theories to explain the nucleation events in urban atmosphere of Beijing.
