to obtain due to a combination of detection limits, interference from ozone
and secondary nitrogen compounds, and sample line problems.
Somewhat different problems appear in the UNC simulations. In these
simulations UV data were used rather than arbitrarily varying photolysis con-
stants to simulate propylene decay (as was done in the UCR simulations); therefore,
several days appear to have improper radical inputs, especially on cloudy
days when only TSR data were available. Nevertheless, several days show
rather close simulations of observed propylene decay, yet ozone may be either
underpredicted or overpredicted. On many days, a very rapid rise in ozone
occurs around 1200 hours which the present simulations cannot follow even if
the NO crossover is simulated too early. A drastic example of this is seen
A
in Figure 80 for the red side of the experiment performed on 31 March 1978.
One explanation for the overprediction/underprediction problem in the UNC
set of simulations may be an N0x loss reaction that changes between experiments
and has yet to be properly characterized. Candidates for future study are
the N20j- reaction with 1^0 and the loss rate of PNA to the walls.
PROPYLENE/ACETALDEHYDE
Differences between the PAN simulations in dual chamber experiments at
UNC, which compared ethylene/acetaldehyde on one side of the chamber to pro-
pylene on the other, were discussed earlier. Also, to support the use of a low
acetaldehyde photolysis rate, we indicated that successive experiments at
UCR (EC-216 and EC-217) should use similar photolysis constants; EC-217 con-
tained a large initial concentration of acetaldehyde added to propylene
while in EC-216 propylene was the only organic compound. Finally, the mixture
of acetaldehyde and propylene represents a means of using the hierarchical
concept to further test parts of the propylene and PAN chemistry. However,
a key experiment, EC-217, is poorly simulated by our current chemistry in an
unusual fashion: the decay of propylene and acetaldehyde cannot be simul-
taneously simulated as indicated in Figure 104. We requested that a similar
pair of experiments be performed in the dual facility at UNC and, on 12 June
1979, these experiments were carried out. Table 24 and 25 show the initial
conditions for the two UCR and two UNC experiments. Figures 103 through 106

present the graphical results. Surprisingly, the current chemistry appears
to predict the decay curves for acetaldehyde and propylene simultaneously in
the UNC experiment, but not in the UCR experiment.
A better test of the PAN chemistry would have been possible if the
propylene side of the dual chamber experiments had used more propylene so
that similar PAN could be predicted for both sides. Since the same instru-
ment is used to measure PAN, by alternating between both sides of the
chamber, a prediction and verification of equal PAN on both sides would con-
stitute a sensitive test of the PAN chemistry.
BUTANE
The butane mechanism published in our interim report (Whitten et al.,
1979) was modified to model the data from new experiments performed in both
the UCR and UNC chambers. Table 26 presents the current version of the
butane chemistry. The initial conditions and results from simulations of six
experiments in the UCR chamber and seven experiments in the UNC chamber are
presented in Tables 27 through 30 and Figures 107 through 120. The minor
changes made to the butane chemistry are briefly described in the following
subsections. The photolysis rate constants for butyraldehyde and methyl ethyl -
ketone are assumed to be the same as the formaldehyde photolysis rate constant
producing radicals.
R0£ + HO^
As described earlier for CH^O^ in the propylene chemistry, rate constants
for these reactions were reduced to the number recommended in the 1979 NASA review
(DeMore et al., 1979).
R0£ + NO
We have lowered the rate constant for the pathway to nitrate formation
-1 . -1
from the sec-butyl peroxy radical to 550 ppm min . Although this value
lowers the simulated nitrate to nearly half the values reported in the UCR
data, we feel the current number used is an upper limit for this particular

reaction. Larger numbers produce a decided "kink" in the NO profiles near
X
the crossover point in the UNC simulations. Hence we recommend that nitrate
data be taken in future UNC experiments to confirm corresponding data received
from UCR.
Sec-Butoxyl + 0^
In order to improve the overall product distribution, the reaction rate
constant was lowered to half the value used last year. However, we recommend
that future butane experiments at UNC include more data on the product of
this reaction, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), so that the present distribution can
be confirmed.
The set of UCR experiments included a brief study of temperature varia-
tion. The changes in product data at these temperatures provided a
serendipitous confirmation of a crucial part of the butane mechanism. The
main products stemming from butane oxidation are acetaldehyde and MEK. The
ratio of these compounds varies from about 0.5 in the low temperature experi-
ment (289K) to about 2.5 in the high temperature experiment (312K). We are
encouraged by the agreement between our simulations and the observed changes
in this product ratio for two reasons: (1) the activation energy for the
decomposition of sec-butoxyl radicals to acetaldehyde is a key factor and the
value (8800K) we used appears to be correct (Batt, McCulloch, and Milne, 1975);
and (2) the use of rate constants, arbitrarily adjusted by us to provide a
close competition between the decomposition reaction and the reaction with
oxygen (which forms the MEK) has finally been justified. Estimates and
evaluations of the pertinent rate parameters for these two processes have
large combined uncertainty factors (Barker et al., 1977); in fact, the com-
bined uncertainty of the ratio could be as high as 100.
The results of the current butane simulations indicate a definite over-
prediction of ozone. In our interim report (Whitten et al., 1979), we had
mentioned a general observation in smog chamber modeling concerning the rate
of NO-to-NOg conversion. If the hydrocarbon decay is simulated to closely
230
-------
match the observed hydrocarbon decay, the function of any given mechanism is
then to provide the intermediate species that convert NO to N02> deplete N0x,
and act as sources and sinks for radical balance. We have assumed that a
proper conversion rate for NO to N02 would automatically generate the correct
ozone through the basic, well-established inorganic parts of the chemical
mechanism. However, the continuing problem is that an N0-to-N02 conversion
rate, which may follow experimental observations early in many smog chamber
simulations, is often too fast late in the simulation. These butane simula-
tions provide examples of this continuing problem.
Although we have yet to solve this problem, we have attempted to analyze
it. First, the observed ozone and ;N0 data are not adequate to reconcile the
problem. Early in virtually any smog chamber experiment the concentrations of
NO and N02 are high relative to their concentrations late in the experiment
when NO has been depleted. The early high NO concentrations apparently
A A
provide the most reliable NO data and the late low concentrations seem to
A
be the least reliable. Previously we discussed a high N0X (and low formaldehyde)
concentration experiment in the UNC chamber regarding the problems with low
ozone data taken in the presence of high NO concentrations. The possible
problem was linked to decay?^>f ozone in the sampling system. The same reason-
ing explains the ozone data reported for EC-308. We estimate that an eight-
second sampling time would lead to the ozone values reported. Hence, there is
normally a problem verifying the N0-to-N02 conversion rate relationship to
ozone formation using observed data.
While preparing for the interim report (Whitten et al., 1979), we con-
sidered such reactions as H02 + N03 and R02 + N03, as well as R02 + 03> In
fact, we included R02 + 03 reactions in the propylene mechanism. All of
these speculative reactions have the characteristic of reducing the ozone
peak without substantial change to the N0-to-N02 conversion early in the
simulation. In general, the peroxy radicals increase in concentration as the
simulation proceeds because their rate of production changes very little yet
their destruction is typically determined by reaction with NO, which, of course,
is decreasing rapidly.
231
-------
On the other hand, 0^, PAN, and NO^ also increase rapidly when NO has
been depleted. Hence, a reaction involving one of these three species and/
or peroxy radicals appears to be missing from our mechanisms. To demonstrate
that a reaction with N03 provides a closer simulation to the observed ozone
profile for these recent butane experiments, we included a reducing reaction
for NOg to NOg of about 400 min"^. Figure 108 shows that ozone is reduced to
near the observed data for EC-304, yet the butane decay, NO behavior, and
A
product appearance profiles are essentially unchanged. A reducing species for
NOo is now under investigation. For an NO, reaction with formaldehyde, a value
-1-1 -1 -1
near 10000 ppm min , or for acetaldehyde a value near 2500 ppm min , would
produce similar results in these simulations.
The butane decay for UCR runs EC-305 and EC-307 could not be simulated
with our current chemistry. Typically, we increase the photolysis
constants until the hydrocarbon decay rate is matched. However, these two
runs have very high HC/N0 ratios which lead to rapid NO removal, producing,
in turn, very low concentrations for NO. The H02 reaction with NO
restores the OH radicals which, in turn, are responsible for the butane decay.
Hence some means of either maintaining NO in the simulation or of restoring
OH, other than reaction with NO, must be missing from our mechanism.

SECTION 5
THE TOLUENE MECHANISM
Aromatic compounds form a significant fraction of the reactive hydrocarbons
in urban photochemical smog. Our approach to the treatment of aromatics oxi-
dation has involved two activities: (1) the preparation of empirical mechanisms
that replicate the behavior of ozone and nitrogen oxide during oxidation, and
(2) the explicit modeling of toluene chemistry. During the past year, these
two efforts have, to some degree, converged, and our toluene mechanism is
reasonably explicit as to the compounds involved; it also reproduces the
ozone and NO behavior well.
A
EMPIRICAL FEATURES OF AROMATICS OXIDATION
We have developed a series of empirical kinetic mechanisms to simulate
photochemical oxidant production in aromatic hydrocarbon systems (Whitten
and Hogo, 1977; Whitten et al., 1979). Our preferred method of mechanism
development is first to construct an explicit representation of all major
products and reactions in the hydrocarbon decay scheme. From this explicit
mechanism, we formulate a condensed mechanism, combining similar radicals,
products, and the like into generalized-state variables. It has been difficult
to apply this process for aromatic hydrocarbons, since explicit mechanisms that
give adequate simulations of hydrocarbon decay, N0V behavior, and ozone pro-
duction have been lacking. Thus, we have resorted to the use of empirical
mechanisms.
Several observable features differentiate aromatic hydrocarbon photochemistry
from that of such compounds as propylene and butane. The most noticeable of
these features is the inefficiency of N0-to-N02 conversions as compared with
233
-------
the hydrocarbon oxidized. Kopczynski, Kuntz, and Bufalini (1975) reported the
ratio of hydrocarbon consumption versus NO oxidized as 1.5 for a paraffin
mixture, 2.5 for olefins, and 4.1 for aromatics. Moreover, they noted that
the ratio of HC consumption to NO oxidation varied with NO concentration,
whereas the olefin and paraffin ratios remained constant. Cox, Derwent, and
Williams (private communication, 1979) have obtained similar results in high
OH (HONO-driven) hydrocarbon N0X systems.
In the UCR toluene smog chamber runs analyzed thus far, we have observed
a marked decline in the efficiency of N0-to-N02 conversions after the N02 peak
has been reached. This decline in efficiency for aromatic systems appears to
be even more pronounced than that observed for olefin and paraffin systems. Our
first empirical aromatics mechanism (Whitten and Hogo, 1977) reduced ozone
production efficiency by means of an NOj-aromatics reaction. This reaction
was given a rate constant considerably higher than the actual reaction rate
of NOg with toluene to represent the reaction of the highly unsaturated ring-
opened compounds formed in aromatics decomposition. In subsequent mechanisms,
we treated the hypothesized compounds more explicitly.
The product of the NO^ addition to propylene has recently been identified
as propylene glycol 1,2 dinitrate (Akimoto et al., 1978). Dinitrates are
highly toxic compounds, and their formation in aromatic systems would have
important implications in air quality management.
If NOg uptake is important in aromatic photochemistry, it may account
for another feature of the UCR toluene runs. Estimates of the 0H« concen-
tration in UCR smog chamber simulations EC-266 through EC-273 (see Figures
121 through 126) based on toluene decay rates seem inconsistent with the
rate of N0X consumption. More precisely, in these experiments N0X decay
is noticeably greater than can be explained by the observed nitrogen species
(PAN, PBN, and so on) and the formation of nitric acid by the reaction of
OH* plus NOg. This nitrogen balance discrepancy is not an obvious feature
of the propylene and butane runs that we have examined. We hypothesize
that some nitrated organic is being formed. Since any PAN-I1ke compound
would tend to register as NO (and thus would not appear as a discrepancy)

we speculate that perhaps an oxygenated alkyl dinitrate is being formed.
Such a compound may be difficult to measure, which might account for the
poor nitrogen and carbon balances observed in aromatic systems.
The glyoxal compounds formed in the aromatic ring-opening process photolyze
more rapidly than formaldehyde. The radical production rate in toluene systems
cannot be explained on the basis of aldehydes alone, and therefore, the additional
radicals must come from species peculiar to aromatics systems, such as benzalde-
hyde and glyoxals. Since the addition of benzaldehyde to a photochemical system
actually retards the system (Kuntz, Kopczynski, and Bufalini, 1973), we now
believe the glyoxals to be the principal photolytic species.
We refer to the ratio of oxidizing radicals produced by a system to the
primary photolysis rate as "Q":
n _ Oxidation
^ " Photolysis
Factor Q appears to be an important measure of the ozone-forming capacity of
the system at high hydrocarbon-to-NO (HC/NOj ratios. A low Q system should produce
A A
less ozone than a high Q system at high HC/NO ratios, because the NO
A
disappearance rate is faster at high HC/N0X ratios relative to the Og produc-
tion rate. Since aromatic systems have a demonstrably low oxidizing rate and
a high primary photolysis rate, the "Q" for aromatic systems is low. Further-
more, if our hypothesis of dinitrate formation is correct, the difference
between the ozone formed at high HC/NO ratios by aromatics as compared with
A
olefin-paraffin systems should be even more striking. Accordingly, we
designed several experiments to test this hypothesis. The first of these
experiments has been carried out and, as predicted, the addition of toluene
to a propylene system at high HC/N0Y ratios causes a reduction
in peak ozone concentration. We will discuss this experiment in greater
detail when we describe our simulations of the UNC outdoor smog chamber
results.

-------
the explicit photochemistry of aromatic compounds
The gas phase oxidation of an aromatic hydrocarbon molecule is initiated
by a hydroxy! radical. The hydroxy! radical attack may proceed through
either addition to the aromatic ring or hydrogen abstraction of side chain
groups. In toluene, for example, side chain abstraction gives
The aromatic radical then absorbs oxygen to form a peroxy radical that may, in
turn, effect an N0-to-N02 conversion and then yield benzaldehyde:

According to an analogy with 0( P) atom reactions, hydroxy! attack at the ortho
position will probably predominate (Atkinson et al., 1978).
The thermalized OH-toluene adduct is unstable at temperatures >_ 380°K
(Perry, Atkinson, and Pitts, 1977). From extrapolation at high temperatures
[where only Reaction (8) is important] to lower temperatures, the ratio of
hydroxyl abstraction to addition was estimated by Perry, Atkinson, and
Pitts (1977) to be 0.16 (+0.07 or -0.05).
At low pressures (6 to 15 torr), the adduct radical reacts with Og:
yielding cresol at a ratio of seven times the yield of benzaldehyde (Hendry,
1978), a rate that agrees with the estimate of Perry, Atkinson, and Pitts (1977).
At higher 02 pressures, however, the product yield of cresol to benzal-
dehyde as observed at the UCR chamber and elsewhere (Hoshino, Akimoto, and
Okuda, 1978) is closer to 2 to 1. The destruction rate of cresol by OH is too
low to explain this discrepancy.
Atkinson et al. (1978) suggest that the OH-toluene adduct radical may
react with Og to form an oxygenated radical:
In the degradation of phenol by gamma-ray-Induced hydroxyl In aqueous
solution (Sato, Takimoto, and Tsuda, 1978), the secondary reaction with
is immediately followed by ring opening to yield dihydroxymucondlaldehyde:
(13)
242
-------
6-s-
Consistent with this reaction pathway is the work of Schwartz (1974),
who identified ring-opened compounds of six and seven carbon atoms in
toluene aerosol.
Smaller ring-opened fragments have also been observed in aromatics-OH
systems. Nojima et al. (1974) reported the formation of glyoxal, methylglyoxal,
and biacetyl, all of which would have been produced by the cleaving of rings in
the photooxidation of benzene, toluene, and xylene. Darnell, Atkinson, and
Pitts (1978) have determined that in the N0X photooxidation of o-xylene,
approximately 20 percent of the reaction of OH radicals leads to biacetyl.
Nojima et al. (1974) found that biacetyl production in an o-xylene system
was only half as great as methylglyoxal production. However, these experi-
ments were carried out using very high concentrations (1000 ppm) of hydro-
carbons. Glyoxal production was observed in all three aromatics systems.
For toluene, the principal oxygenated product observed was methylglyoxal.
Takagi et al. (1979) observed the ratio among glyoxal, methylglyoxal,
and biacetyl production to be 3.3:0.5:1. These ratios were estimated by
Nojima et al. (1974) to be 0.2:2.5:1. Although the variations in these data
are large, they suggest that over half of the products of the hydroxyl aro-
matic reactions are ring cleavage fragments.
The formation of glyoxal compounds might occur with the successive degra-
dation of the ring-opened compound. However, glyoxals seem to form immediately
after the initial hydroxyl reaction, suggesting that some fraction of the ring
cleavage reaction forms multiple fragments.

One possible pathway Involves the oxygenated OH-toluene adduct radical
(Atkinson, 1979, private comnuni cation):

+ 1,0 — n°2 +
Cleavage then occurs to give methylglyoxal (circled), HO^ and another
ring-opened fragment.
The complementary product to the glyoxals, produced either from further
degradation of a ring-opened compound or by cleavage of the ring at multiple
points, would be an Internally unsaturated dialdehyde (2 butene 1,4 dial for
the toluene system):
H 0
I II
H-C-C-C-C-H
!i i
0 H
The properties of unsaturated dialdehyde compounds such as this (called FOLE
in our toluene mechanism), are speculative. These compounds might photolyze;
the double bond might react with OH, Og, or NOgj the hydrogen atoms might be
abstracted to yield peroxyacyl-like radicals, which might form PANs and other
compounds. Such compounds might also form aerosols or adhere to the smog
244
-------
chamber walls. The latter effect is likely because dialdehydes have low vapor
pressures and high boiling points. Butanedial (succinaldehyde), for example,
has a boiling point of 170°C, and hexanedial has a vapor pressure of 3 torr
at 90°C (Rappoport, 1967).
The quantum yield for photolysis to radicals for the unsaturated
aldehydes is probably low. Acrolein, for example, on absorbing light, tends
to form an excited polymerizing molecule rather than decompose (Calvert and
Pitts, 1966). The inclusion of a photolysis reaction for the unsaturated
dialdehydes would make the simulation mechanism much too reactive.
Reactions involving 0H« are probably not important because the number of
N0-to-N02 conversions would become too large unless some other mechanism
exists to reduce the importance of that reaction. The low vapor pressure of
these dialdehydes could be responsible for a reduction of any 0H> importance.
As we have mentioned previously, Schwartz (1974) observed ring-opened com-
pounds in the analysis of toluene aerosols.
Recent measurements (01Brian, personal communication, 1979) indicate that
a substantial fraction of the carbon in toluene oxidation is lost from the gas
phase. For unsaturated dialdehydes leaving the gas phase, only a modest first-
order loss rate (^.05 min"1) is necessary to compete with hydroxy! attack
and to eliminate the excessive ozone production caused by the hydroxyl reaction.
This reasoning is speculation in support of a specific fact: our simula-
tions of toluene systems work better when the reaction of OH with these secondary
oxidation products is eliminated. Therefore, we have eliminated the reaction,
noting that the overall behavior is likely to be complex.
The only reactions of the FOLE compounds that are contained in our toluene
mechanism are reactions with 0g and NO^. We have assumed that the internal
double bonds contained in these compounds react with 03 and NOg at rates simi-
lar to that of dimethylbutene. These rates are very fast; even if the FOLE
compounds are rapidly precipitating from the gas phase, they will tend to react
in our simulations with 0g and NOg before they encounter an aerosol particle or
a chamber wall.
-------
Fate of Benzaldehyde
Benzaldehyde is a known product of toluene oxidation, accounting for
11 to 23 percent of the overall reaction products (Perry, Atkinson, and Pitts,
1977; Hendry, 1978).
It has long been known that the addition of benzaldehyde to photochemical
mixtures tends to retard their photochemical activity (Kuntz, Kopczynski, and
Bufalini, 1973). One could explain this effect by suggesting that benzalde-
hyde is a radical scavenger. However, systems of air, benzaldehyde, and N0X
show increases in NO-to-NOg conversions when compared with air systems. Obvi-
ously, radical scavenging is balanced by some source of radicals as well.
Hendry (1972) suggests that the rate of decomposition of the benzoyloxy
radical is low, allowing it to react with oxides of nitrogen and the reactor
wall, thereby serving as a radical sink. This leads to the following reaction
sequence (Hendry et al., 1978):
0,
0.

°no2
246
-------
This sequence is primarily a scavenging mechanism: Used alone, it produces
too great a retardation of photochemical activity in UCR runs EC-337 and EC-339.
Counterbalanced by the scavenging effect is the effect of benzaldehyde photolysis:
H

c
6^6
+ HCO

+ H02 + CO
We assume that the carbon-phenyl bond is the bond that breaks upon
photolysis to reduce the number of N0-to-N02 conversions in the photolysis
pathway. We have also included a decomposition reaction for the benzoyloxy
radical:
Photolysis yields for benzaldehyde are not well known. At 313 nm, the
quantum yield at room temperature is low. However, a second absorbtion band
exists below 310 nm with a very high absorbtion peak (x max = 282 nm, e ¦ * 1600;
Calvert and Pitts, 1966). If benzaldehyde photolysis proves to be unimportant,
the decomposition rate of the benzoyloxy radical will have to be increased.
The chemistry of peroxybenzoylnitrate is from Hendry 1972.
Fate of Cresol
Cresol is a reaction product in the toluene system similar in magnitude
to that of benzaldehyde (Hoshino, Aktmoto, and Okuda, 1978; UCR toluene data). It

-------
reacts with OH approximately six times faster than toluene (Perry, Atkinson,
and Pitts,1977). The products of this reaction are unknown; we have used
dihydroxy toluene as the reaction product.
Although cresol does not react with ozone, there is evidence of a strong
reaction with N03 (O'Brian, personal communication, 1979). It is possible
that cresol is responsible for the N03 loss in aromatic systems that we have
discussed previously. However, the yield of cresol from toluene oxidation
does not seem to be high enough for it to be the principal N03 uptake species.
The expected product of the NO^-cresol reaction would be a cresol nitrate.
MASS BALANCE IN THE TOLUENE MECHANISM
The toluene mechanism is given in Table 31. Subsequent to the initial
reaction of OH* with toluene, 16 percent of the reacted carbon mass goes to
cresol and 11 percent goes to benzaldehyde. Of the remaining 73 percent
carbon, 80 percent follows a pathway that leads to ring opening, fracture,
and the production of <*-dicarbonyls, here assumed to be methyl glyoxal. The
complementary product to the methyl glyoxal is labeled FOLE and is assumed to
react exclusively with 03 and NOj, to form dinitrates. The remaining 20
percent of the ring opening (15 percent overall) goes to a diolefinic compound
assumed to react as two FOLE groups.
There is some doubt as to the fate and precise reactions of the compounds
grouped as "FOLE." The overall stoichlometry of the toluene oxidation
sequence presented here mimics actual toluene oxidation too precisely to be
dismissed lightly. If the suggested FOLE reactions do not exist, then they
at least emulate reactions that are taking place.
DESCRIPTION OF TOLUENE SIMULATIONS FOR UCR
Initial conditions and photolysis rates for the UCR toluene experiments
are given in Table 32 There were minor variations in the solar simulator light
intensity during the second series, but we have made no attempt to correct for these
effects. Nitrogen dioxide photolysis varied only about 2 percent during the series.

* Rx is an initial radical source having a photolysis rate 1/2 that of HONO (.0.03 min^)
to mimic HONO effects.
-------
The only general error seen in these runs is an overprediction of- PAN.
This is probably caused by our assumption that all of the <*-dicarbonyls formed
are methylglyoxal. If simple glyoxal comprised a significant fraction of the
^-dicarbonyls, then the production of peroxyacetyl radicals and" PAN formation
would be reduced.
A comparison of the toluene only runs with those runs having high initial
conditions of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde (runs EC-270, EC-271, and EC-336)
shows the need for the «-dicarbonyls as a radical source. Even if all of the
toluene that decays were to go immediately to formaldehyde, the photolysis
rate necessary to provide radicals for the toluene runs is twice that needed
to fit the formaldehyde-added runs. Clearly, some product having a high
photolysis rate is formed from toluene oxidation.
In the later series of experiments, EC-327 through EC-340, analysis of ben-
zaldehyde is begun (see Figures 127 through 131). Runs 337 and 339 contained high
initial conditions of benzaldehyde and exhibited the slower chemistry noted
previously. Benzaldehyde decay for these runs is slightly underpredicted, and
the benzaldehyde peak for the other runs is slightly overpredicted. These
factors suggest that the OH* rate constant for benzaldehyde is faster than
that used in these simulations or that benzaldehyde photolysis should be faster.
DESCRIPTION OF TOLUENE SIMULATIONS FOR UNC
Initial conditions for the UNC outdoor smog chamber experiments are given
in Table 33, and Figures 132 through 139 give the simulation results for these
same experiments. Simultaneous experiments involving ethylene and propylene
were simulated using the Revised Carbon-Bond Mechanism (CBM-II) given in Table 34.
The Influence of water on PNA chemistry, discussed in Section 3, was not included
in these simulations.
255
-------
The only modification of the mechanism from experiment to experiment was
a change in the fraction of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde used. For ethylene,
all aldehydes were assumed to be formaldehyde; for propylene, a 2:1 formaldehyde
acetaldehyde ratio was used.
The only noteworthy feature of the 1978 experiments is the very high Rx
values required to fit the 91878 runs. The value of 0.06 ppm for Rx is clearly
too great to be explained by H0N0. Yet without this value, the simulations
are greatly retarded, even though the production and decay rates reproduce
the data, albeit involving a time lag. One is tempted to consider the pos-
sibility that the data were somehow shifted by an hour or two. Otherwise,
we have no explanation for this curious feature.
THE PROPYLENE TOLUENE EXPERIMENT (62179)
In order to highlight the NO loss, which is one of the most important
features of toluene oxidation, we designed an NOx-limited experiment in which
the loss would have an effect upon ozone. As expected, a propylene toluene
mix gives a lower ozone peak (20 percent lower) than a propylene-only run,
despite a faster initial ozone production rate. Our simulations of these
experiments are shown in Figures 140 and 141. (In the 1979 experiment, unlike the
1978 series, PAN data were subtracted from the NOg data in order to correct
for the known PAN interference.) If our simulations are correct, the increased
N0X loss for the toluene system is equally divided between two mechanisms; one
is the loss of NOg to organic nitrates as previously described. However, if
the NOg reactions are removed, some difference still exists (the results are
given in Figure 142 with reactions 76 and 90 eliminated). This is because the
overall photolysis rate is substantially higher in the toluene-added system,
resulting in a higher OH concentration and a higher production rate of nitric
acid. The ozone formation rate is enhanced marginally and the ozone peak is
reached sooner, though at a lower concentration than in the propylene-only
system. This, therefore, is a graphic demonstration of the parameter "Q."

SECTION 6
CARBON-BOND CHEMISTRY
The developments in explicit chemistry, reported in earlier sections, have
not been integrated into the Carbon-Bond Mechanism (CBM) because these develop-
ments came late in the contract year. Since insufficient time precluded the
use of the extensive comparisons with explicit chemistry (as presented in
Whitten and Hogo, 1977; Whitten et al., 1979), this section presents only a
few simulations with the CBM. Since the report last year, the principal change
in the CBM has been a further improvement in the chemistry of aromatics based
on the mechanism for toluene described in Section 5 of this report. This section
presents a brief review of the differences between the original CBM and its
current formulation, CBM-II, along with some simulation results using both
versions. A compendium of isopleth diagrams is included to demonstrate the
behavior of several species that occur in atmospheric chemistry as a function
of the HC and N0V precursor levels.
A
COMPARISON OF OLD AND NEW MECHANISMS
The original formulation of the CBM was published in two documents (Whitten
and Hogo, 1977; Whitten, Hogo, and Killus, 1979). Table 35 presents the version
of the old CBM used in the present study. The interim report of last year
(Whitten et al., 1979) presents an extensively revised version of the CBM
(CBM-II). Shortly after publication of that report some minor improvements
were added to the aromatics chemistry, bringing the mechanism to the level shown
in Table 36. Both versions of the CBM have been used in several atmospheric
studies. The present comparison study suggests that either version appears to
reproduce smog chamber experiments, though the newer version is more
scientifically relevant; the atmospheric studies previously performed
using the old CBM are probably still valid from the standpoint of the chemistry.

-------
The main features that distinguish the two versions of the CBM are
briefly explained in the following discussion.
> Aromatics Chemistry. Approximately one year ago, a semi-
empirical aromatics mechanism was constructed to simulate
the hydrocarbon decay, NO-to-NC^ conversion, N0X decay to
nitrates, PAN formation, and ozone formation seen in a series
of smog chamber experiments involving either nitrogen oxides
and pure aromatics or NO and mixtures of hydrocarbons con-
A
taining aromatics. This mechanism has been incorporated into
the SAI Airshed Model.
During the past year, we have been studying the fundamental
chemistry involving aromatics that has emerged from recent
laboratory kinetics studies. The CBM-II mechanism in Table
36 reflects our present thinking on the fundamental chemistry
of aromatics, yet is still compatible with the SAI Airshed
Mechanism, requiring only a modification of rate constants
and a relabeling of the aromatic photolytic species as GLY
(gl'yoxals). Approximately 73% of the oxidation pathway
leads to glyoxal photolysis in both the CBM-II mechanism
and the toluene developmental mechanism. Cresol and
benzaldehyde are neglected as unimportant in the CBM-II
mechanism. The overall rate constant for OH oxidation of
aromatics is taken to be an average of toluene and xylenes.
The aromatics mechanism in the CBM may be said to have
evolved to the state of being primarily a condensed mech-
anism of known fundamental chemistry.
> PAN Chemistry. In the old CBM, the peroxyforrny] radical
(HCOp was used to generate PAN formation via reaction with
NOg using an empirical rate constant. In the CBM-II, the
HCOg has been eliminated, and a new species representing
peroxyacyl radicals (ACOj) is now used. ACO^ 1s fbrmed from
the hydroxy! radical (OH*) attack on carbonyl compounds
283
-------
(surrogate CARB). The amount of ACO^ formation is proportion-
al to 1-a, which represents the higher aldehydes. Hence, PAN
chemistry itself uses no empirical rate constants. Further-
more, the use of a in the new CBM has been carefully conceived
to ensure that ozone production is rather insensitive, yet PAN
production is sensitive, to the choice of a. In the old CBM and
in other mechanisms such as the well-known Hecht, Seinfeld, and
Dodge (HSD) mechanism, the parameter that governs PAN formation
significantly affects ozone production—if too much PAN is simu-
lated by the mechanism, then 0^ will be low and vice versa. CBM-
II eliminates this problem. A poor choice for a should only pro-
duce incorrect PAN simulations.
> Organic Nitrates. The CBM-11 incorporates recent discoveries
concerning the formation of these compounds. Darnell et al.
(1976) have found that R02~type radicals having large R groups
can form organic nitrates via reaction with NO. The aromatics
chemistry also leads to nitrate formation. Unfortunately, at
present,the rate constant for R02 plus NO leading to nitrate
is empirically adjusted to provide proper organic nitrate
levels in the UCR smog chamber experiments used to validate
the new mechanism. Until smog chamber data are available for
a large variety of individual compounds and a variety of mix-
tures, this rate constant cannot be determined from the reac-
tivity of the hydrocarbon mix.
> Large Paraffin Chemistry. Carter et al. (1976) have shown
that a cyclic intermediate could allow large RO radicals to
isomerize in air to HOROg radicals. The explicit mechanisms
for butane and 2,3-dimethylbutane show that, subsequent to
attack by hydroxyl radicals, on the average, more than one R02
intermediate form prior to the production of an H0£ radical.
The cyclic isomefcization reaction accounts for some of this
effect, and decomposition reactions for large RO radicals
account for the rest. In CBM-II, this complex chemistry is
284
-------
treated through a parameter, A, which is determined from the
average number of R02 intermediates between hydroxyl attack
on paraffins and generation of H02» which occurs in explicit
mechanisms via the 02 abstraction of RO intermediates.
> Ozone Olefin Chemistry. CBM-II treats the diradical interme-
diates that, according to recent studies conducted by NBS,
Ford, and EPA, are formed during these reactions. Although
these intermediates—sometimes referred to as Criegee inter-
mediates—are known to react unimolecularly or in combina-
tion with NO, N02, aldehydes, and S02> the relative rates
between these various possibilities are not yet known.
> Activation of Single Bonds. CBM-II accounts for the forma-
tion of R02 radicals from the chemistry of carbonyl compounds
other than formaldehyde. In order to maintain carbon mass
balance, a special species, x, is used that removes a carbon
group from the single bonded surrogate, PAR, whenever an extra
carbon group is generated. For example, if the surrogate
carbonyl species were to represent pure acetaldehyde (a =0),
hydroxyl attack would produce ACO^. However, the surrogate,
ACO^, in the new CBM has two carbon atoms and the precursor,
CARB, has but one carbon atom, so an x is formed along with
ACO^. Then, a fast reaction in the CBM-II between PAR and x
immediately removes one PAR from the system, thereby accounting
for the extra carbon generated in the AC0| radical.
> Elimination of HONO. As. shown in Whitten et al. (1979), this
compound is rapidly photolyzed and re-formed in a "do nothing"
cycle in the atmosphere. These reactions lead to an average
steac(y-state value that is very small. Modeling studies at
SAI have confirmed that the elimination of this species leads
to trivial differences in computer smog simulations.
285
-------
> Explicit Treatment of the Olefin Hvdroxvl Addition Product. The
explicit chemistry of hydroxy! attack on olefins leads to the
formation of two aldehydes from the initial addition product,
which in air is a H0R02 radical. The old CBM treated this
radical as a typical R02 radical that produces but one aldehyde;
the extra aldehyde was added along with the R02 as a product
in the initial OH reaction. However, the present version of the
CBM-11 includes a special reaction of the HORQg addition pro-
duct with Oy Hence, the explicit treatment allows, the forma-
tion of two aldehydes from the H0R02 or reaction with Qg. The
03 reaction is still under investigation, and future versions
of the CBM may not require this reaction.
In addition to these changes, the use of carbon bond chemistry
has been improved and can be applied to either version of the
CBM. In one study it was found that the concentration-weighted
root-mean-square method of averaging the hydrocarbon rate con-
stants produced the best overall performance of the CBM in a
series of simulations of smog chamber experiments using mix-
tures of hydrocarbons. A related study showed that internal
olefins could be simulated as two carbonyls per double bond.
Thus, the CBM can treat three levels of reactivity for olefins:
Ethylene is treated as a separate species, terminal olefins,
are treated by the surrogate double-bond species OLE, and the
highly reactive internal olefins are treated as two CARBs per
olefin bond.
Performance of the CBM-II should not differ significantly
from the old CBM, according to the tests on several smog chamber
experiments reported below. However, the new mechanism incor-
porates an extensive range of recent information on smog chem-
istry. One notable difference has been a prediction, using the
new chemistry, that the addition of aromatics to a mixture of
olefins and paraffins at high hydrocarbon-to-NOx ratios would
286
-------
suppress ozone formation. A recent experiment at the outdoor
chamber at UNC has confirmed this prediction as shown in
Section 5.
To represent the performance of both the old and new versions
of the CBM, we have included two sets of results from simula-
tions of 11 smog chamber experiments. Figures 143 through 164 com-
pare the observed data with the computed simulations for each
version of the CBM. Tables 37, 38, and 39 present the initial
conditions.
Ozone formation is determined by the conversion of NO to NOg,
which in turn is determined from the decay of the hydrocarbons.
The decay rate of the hydrocarbons is primarily a function
of the hydroxyl radical level that is, in turn, determined by
a balance between radical sources and sinks. The sink reac-
tions in the old CBM are not controllable, but the organic
nitrate formation from ROg and NO in the CBM-II should be
adjusted within a factor of 2 from the default value of
500 ppm if nitrate data are available. The major adjustments
in these simulations were of the carbonyl photolysis rate,
but these adjustments were within the range of uncertainty
of the artificial light source used.
Before' judging the ozone performance of any mechanism, the
hydrocarbon decay and NO conversion and loss rates should
A
be correctly simulated. The basic function of a properly
assembled mechanism is then the correct maintenance of radi-
cals in generating ozone and nitrates.
Table 40 presents statistical evidence, based on the mechan-
isms of Tables 35 and 36, demonstrating the ability of both
versions of the CBM to simulate ozone. Bias for both versions
is slightly high, as indicated by the positive mean errors.
CBM-II shows only +3 ppb, or +2.8 percent, on an average
287
-------
relative to the observed data. Although both versions show
an average absolute error of about ±0.06 ppm, the newer ver-
sion appears to show a better relative error of ±18 percent,
compared to ±26 percent for the older CBM. This difference
is visually manifested in the simulation results figures;
the older version seems to produce ozone peaks with a notice-
able bulge.

A COMPENDIUM OF ISOPLETH DIAGRAMS
As part of our analysis of the behavior of the CBM, we have prepared a
series of isopleth diagrams showing the formation of various smog constituents
as predicted by the CBM. The species included are:
> Ozone
> PAN
> no2
> hno3
> NOJ
> Carbonyls
> HOg
> h202
> OH
> Organic Nitrates.
The hydrocarbon mixture used in these isopleths consisted of the following
carbon fractions; 0.034 ethylene, 0.25 aromatic, 0,034 oleflnic, 0.65 parafinic,
0.034 carbonyl (i.e., these fractions are the amount of carbon in each bond
category). This hydrocarbon split represents an average automobile emissions
mixture combining both evaporative (40 percent) and exhaust emissions (60 per-
cent) (KilTus et al., 1977). The mixture has been wormallzed to remove unreac-
tive hydrocarbons.
325
-------
Standard OZIPP (or EKMA) conditions were used except that aldehyde photol-
ysis to stable products was changed to 0.35 of the nominal program value in
order to make it consistent with the values that we have been using for the
UNC outdoor chamber (Whitten and Hogo, 1978).
Ozone
The Carbon-Bond Mechanism (Figure 165) is somewhat more reactive than the
mechanism used by Dodge (1977) in the Empirical Kinetic Modeling Approach (EKMA)
(Figure 166). However, when used on a propylene-butane mix (Figure 167), the
shape of the curves are similar. The inclusion of the aromatic mechanism
alters the shape of the Carbon Bond isopleth diagrams for the automobile hydro-
carbon mix.
PAN
The PAN isopleths (Figure 168) are interesting for several reasons. They
are similar in shape to the ozone isopleths, yet the region of maximum effi-
ciency is broader and shifted slightly to the higher HC/NO ratios. The PAN
X
isopleths resemble the ozone isopleths of a propylene butane mix (Figure 167)
more closely than they resemble ozone from our simulated automobile emissions.
This suggests that the aromatics mechanism in some fashion distorts the ozone
chemistry while PAN chemistry is left unperturbed.
If we plot ozone formation as a function of increasing precursor concen-
tration at the HC/N0X ratio of maximum production efficiency, we obtain a
curve similar to the Appendix J rollback curve (Figure 169). Ozone production
efficiency declines at higher precursor concentration levels, while PAN produc-
tion efficiency increases at higher concentration levels (Figure 169), indicat-
ing that pollution control measures work more effectively on PAN than on ozone.
The isopleths of peak NO2 concentration (Figure 170) show an almost linear
dependence on N0X- Only at very low HC/N0x ratios (HC/N0x < 2) is the NOg

peak not reached. The NO2 recovery is surprisingly low, only about 60 percent
of total NO . Dilution is responsible for some of this NO loss, but the
X X
majority seems to be in the form of organic nitrate, which is discussed below.
hno3
Nitric acid isopleths (Figure 171) show few surprises. Their linear rela-
tion to NO is nearly identical to the N0« isopleths, although most nitric
A t
acid is formed after the NO2 peak. The bend in the HNOg isopleths occurs
at slightly lower HC/NO ratios than the ozone bend. Below this ratio,
A
nitric acid appears to be completely hydrocarbon limited.
N03
The NO3 isopleth diagram (Figure 172) is very similar to ozone isopleths.
However, NOg is destroyed rapidly at high N0X concentrations by the reaction
with NO and at high hydrocarbon concentrations by the reactions with aromatics
intermediates. Thus, the NOg isopleths bend sharply away from both axes.
Aldehydes
The aldehyde isopleths (Figure 173) show the effects of two factors.
Because aldehydes are emitted directly, they form a fractional part of the
hydrocarbons and the isopleths tend to run parallel to the hydrocarbon axis
at the lowest HC/N0Y ratios where the chemistry is slow. Aldehydes are also
efficiently produced at high HC/NO ratios. It appears that aldehydes can
r\
reach a maximum of 10 percent of the initial hydrocarbon concentration, or
roughly twice the emissions rate.
HOg and HgOo
HOg concentration (Figure 174) is maximized at very high HC/N0x ratios.
Hydrogen peroxide formation (formed by HOJj - HOg reaction) peaks
at a somewhat smaller HC/N0x ratio. Hydrogen peroxide isopleths (Figure 175)
look very similar to reported isopleths for aerosol formation (Miller and

Joseph, 1977). Wu, Bogard, and Brock (1978) have suggested that some particulate
formation is the result of ozonides that react with other ozonides to form
polymeric aerosols. Such a reaction sequence could well resemble hydrogen
peroxide formation.
OH-
Isopleths of 10-hour average OH- concentrations (Figure 176) seem to
depend almost solely on the HC/NO ratio, and have little to do with precursor
A
concentration. This is in keeping with elementary steady state analysis. To
a first approximation, at low HC/NO ratios, OH depends on the ratio of aldehyde
A
photolysis to N02 concentration. At high HC/N0X ratios, hydrogen peroxide
formation removes H0£ from the system before OH is reformed.
Organic Nitrates
Isopleths were generated for the ratio of organic nitrate production to
total nitrate (the remainder being HNO^) after 10 hours (Figure 177). Organic
nitrates are produced in the CBM in roughly equal amounts from two sources:
the R0,j reaction with NO and the reaction of NOg with an aromatics intermediate.
Smog chamber experiments with large paraffins or aromatics are predicted by the
new CBM to produce organic nitrates at high HC/N0x ratios. Future experiments
will be needed to confirm this prediction.
This set of isopleth diagrams can be used to assess the chemical reac-
tivity of chemistry secondary to ozone chemistry, such as S02 conversion to
sulfate. The OH* diagram indicates that if OH was responsible for the major
fraction of sulfate production then HC and NO control strategies aimed at
A
reducing sulfate would not be effective at constant HC/NO ratios even though
A
ozone and PAN would be reduced.

16. ABSTRACT
Mechanisms that describe the formation of photochemical smog are developed
using a computer modeling technique directed toward the simulation of data collected
in two smog chambers: an indoor chamber and a dual outdoor chamber. The results
of simulating 164 different experiments are presented in Vol. 1. Individual com-
pounds for which specific experiments were simulated and mechanisms developed
Include the following: formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, ethylene, propylene, butane,
and toluene. Experiments in both chambers were simulated for all these compounds.
The mechanisms reported describe the decay of the precursor organic compound,
formation and decay of secondary organic compounds, conversion of nitrogen oxides,
formation of nitrates, and the appearance and decay of ozone. Special emphasis is
given to the chemistry of toluene. Also included is a study of a generalized
smog-based or carbon-bond mechanism developed in a previous study. Volume 2
contains the user's manual and coding for a chemical kinetics computer program,
CHEMK.
