RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES
Research reports of the Office of Reseaich and Development, U S Environmental
Protection Agency, have been grouped into nine series These nine broad cate-
gories were established to facilitate further development and application of en-
vironmental technology- Elimination of traditional grouping was consciously
planned to foster technology transfer ana a maximum interface in related fields.
The nine series are:
1	Environmental Health Effects Research
2.	Environmental Protection Technology
3	Ecological Research
4.	Environmental Monitoring
5.	Socioeconomic Environmental Studies
6.	Scientific and Technical Assessment Reports (STAR)
7.	Interagency Energy-Environment Research and Development
8.	"Special" Reports
9.	Miscellaneous Reports
This report has been assigned to the ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH series. This series
describes research on the effects of pollution on humans, plant and animal spe-
cies, and materials. Problems are assessed for their long- and short-term influ-
ences. Investigations include formation, transport, and pathway studies to deter-
mine the fate of pollutants and their effects. This work provides the technical basis
for setting standards to minimize undesirable changes in living organisms in the
aquatic, terrestrial, and atmospheric environments.

ABSTRACT
Mechanisms that describe the formation of photochemical smog are devel-
oped 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 experiemnts are presented
in Vol. I. Individual compounds for which specific experiments were simu-
lated and mechanisms developed include the following: formaldehyde, acet-
aldehyde, 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 organics, 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. Vol. II contains
the user's manual and coding for a chemical kinetics computer program, CHEMK.
This report was submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
in fulfillment of Contract No. 68-02-2428 by Systems Applications, Incorpor-
ated. This report covers the period 23 August 1978 to 23 August 1979, and
work was completed as of 23 August 1979.

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
This report describes the final year of a three-year study, sponsored by
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to model the formation and evolu-
tion of photochemical oxidants. The study has three basic narts:
1.	Development and refinement of explicit chemical kinetic mecha-
nisms* for simulating smog chamber experiments that were initiated
with a few simple hydrocarbon species and NO . This effort is
X
intended to assist in developing a greater understanding of the
formation of photochemical oxidants, to point out specific chem-
ical reactions most in need of further study, and to provide a
basis for the second part of this study.
2.	Refinement of a generalized mechanism for describing the chemical
aspects of photochemical oxidant formation in the atmosphere.
This mechanism, known as the Carbon-Bond Mechanism (CBM) is incor-
porated in large air-quality simulation models used for predicting
spatial and temporal pollutant distributions in the atmosphere.
Consequently, the mechanism must be able to treat complex mixtures
of hydrocarbons yet have modest computing requirements.
3.	Analysis of the effects of the physical and chemical character-
istics of smog chambers on smog formation and evolution.
Knowledge of these chamber effects is valuable for validating
kinetic mechanisms with smog chamber data and for applying
mechanisms in atmospheric studies.
* A chemical kinetic mechanism is a set of chemical reactions and rate
constants. From a kinetic mechanism one can derive a set of coupled
differential equations, which when integrated using a computer, can
yield concentration/time profiles for the chemical species in the
mechanism. Explicit mechanisms describe individual species, whereas
generalized mechanisms include surrogate species that represent an
entire group of similar species.

-------
These portions were nearly completed during the first two years of this
study, and the results have been released in an interim report (Whitten et al.,
1979). During the past year, our efforts have primarily concentrated on
extensions of the first two parts of the study. The work on the first part
centered on the development of a mechanism for aromatic hydrocarbons and a
careful adaptation of the previously developed smog chemistry to outdoor con-
ditions of lighting, temperature, and humidity. Efforts on the second part
describe the behavior of the generalized chemistry over a range of precursor
concentrations. The number of smog chamber experiments in our inventory has
increased substantially during this past year so that the statistical validity
of the mechanism can now be based on nearly 300 experiments with time-dependent
data.
A graphic illustration of the technical approach used in this study is
displayed in Figure 1. Mechanism development in the present context is based
primarily on simulating smog chamber experiments with explicit kinetic
mechanisms. An explicit mechanism for a given chemical system individually
treats each species and reaction thought to be important in that system. To
simulate a smog chamber experiment, one must have data from the smog chamber
experiment, a kinetic mechanism, and a computer program that simulates gas-
phase chemistry by integrating the differential equations developed from the
chemical mechanism.
The explicit mechanism work provided the framework for the second part
of this study—refinement of the Carbon-Bond Mechanism (CBM). Developed
in an earlier SAI study for the EPA (Whitten and Hogo, 1977), the CBM is a
generalized mechanism--it treats generalized species rather than individual
compounds, primarily for the purpose of reducing computing requirements.
Many generalized mechanisms treat chemically similar molecules in groups,
but the CBM treats chemically similar carbon atoms in groups, regardless of
the compounds in which they occur. Our approach to refining the CBM involved
condensing the essential features of the revised or newly developed explicit
mechanisms from the first part of this study. For aromatics the procedure
was reversed. Several alternate pathways or splits in the explicit chemistry
were unresolved a year ago; therefore, an empirical, condensed scheme was
developed. As new information on aromatics chemistry became available to us
during this past year, we have begun filling in the condensed steps with

appropriate explicit chemistry. The revised Carbon-Bond Mechanism (CBM-II) was
validated using smog chamber data and was incorporated in the current SAI Air-
shed Model, which is now being used to model air quality in Los Angeles,
Sacramento, and St. Louis.
For the study of chamber effects we used an explicit propylene mechanism
to simulate data from propylene/NOx experiments performed in eight smog
chambers. We also analyzed the relative speeds of reaction and diffusion to
the chamber walls to determine which are rate limiting for various species.
The simulation results and that analysis were used to evaluate the effects of
different wall materials, light sources, surface/volume ratios, and other
characteristics. Differences in the spectral distribution of irradiation
between chambers appear to account for most of the observed differences in
photochemical oxidant formation. Wall effects appear to be small, and they are
often within the uncertainty of the spectral distribution of the light source.
The results of this study were presented in the interim report (Whitten et al.,
1979).
A principal goal in computer modeling of smog chemistry is to develop a
set of reactions and rate constants that provides the closest possible agree-
ment between simulations and measurements for a series of experiments. This
development is carried out by:
>	Using measurements or estimates for all important reactions,
products, and rate constants known or expected to occur in
the system of interest, within their limits of uncertainty,
to formulate a kinetic mechanism.
>	Estimating the physical conditions appropriate for the ex-
periments performed (e.g., the initial HONO concentrations,
the temperature during each experiment, and other parameters).
>	Simulating the smog chamber experiments using a computer.
>	Modifying or adding reactions, products, and rate constants
until satisfactory agreement between simulations and measure-
ments is achieved. However, there are many constraints that must
be met:
- Common reactions must have the same rate constants in all
experiments.
4

-------
-	Chamber-dependent effects should be consistent.
-	Precursor decay must be simulated correctly.
Published data on reactions and rate constants were used where possible
in constructing the mechanisms, but, because of gaps in the data, all mechan-
isms contained hypothetical reactions or estimated rate constants. Simulated
time profiles of precursor decay and secondary product appearance and decay
were compared with the profiles using smog chamber data to evaluate the hy-
potheses and estimates and, thus, to develop a deeper understanding of the
formation of photochemical oxidants.
In constructing mechanisms, we followed the concept of a hierarchy of
chemical species that has been described in detail elsewhere (Whitten et al.,
1979). Essentially, each species can be assigned to a hierarchical level on
the basis of the number of photochemical-oxidant-forming systems in which it
occurs. NO, NC>2> CO, ozone, and some other inorganic species, for example,
occur in every photochemical-oxidant-forming system, and they are thus
assigned to the lowest level. Formaldehyde, which occurs in every system
except the C0/N0x system, occupies a higher level in the hierarchy. Acetalde-
hyde occurs in most systems, but not in formaldehyde/NO or CO/NO , and so it
X	X
is at a still higher level. This description of the hierarchical concept,
although ambiguous, suggests an order for development of explicit kinetic
mechanisms. After constructing and evaluating a mechanism for CO, one can
develop a formaldehyde mechanism by adding a few reactions and rate constants
to the CO mechanism. The same procedure can be used for acetaldehyde. In
validating each successive mechanism, one can focus attention on the added
reactions and rate constants because the other reactions and rate constants
have already been validated. Following this procedure reduces the probability
that a complex mechanism, such as that for propylene, contains errors that
compensate for each other in simulations of a set of smog chamber experiments.
During this study we used an approach for validating each mechanism that
is intended to minimize the possibility of fortuitous agreement between
simulations and measurements. A valid kinetic mechanism, unlike a mere curve-
fitting exercise, should give reasonable predictions when used in applications
such as atmospheric modeling that are outside the range of conditions and smog
chamber experiments for which it was developed. Our approach is based on the
following principles:
5

-------
>	The first measurements that must be reproduced with acceptable
accuracy are those related to the consumption of the initial pre-
cursors. A mechanism for propylene/NOx systems, for example,
should describe the disappearance of propylene and NO . Ozone
A
development and other manifestations of the experiment must depend
on the products that result from decay of the precursor hydro-
carbons and NO^. Good agreement between measured and simulated
ozone concentrations, coupled with poor agreement for hydro-
carbon decay, is indicative of compensating errors in the kinetic
mechanism. Errors that compensate one another under the conditions
of a particular smog chamber experiment are not likely to do so
for other experiments or atmospheric applications. For example,
if a new experiment were to be initiated at the point at which
a previous experiment reached half the decay of a key precursor,
then the same mechanism would simulate both experiments correctly
only if the decay of that key precursor were simulated correctly
in the original experiment.
>	In simulating a series of experiments in the same smog chamber,
chamber-dependent effects must be treated consistently. If ozone
is assumed to react with the walls of the chamber, for example,
the same rate constant for that reaction should be used in all
simulations of experiments in that chamber unless some character-
istic of the chamber has been changed. If a light source is
assumed to emit progressively lower amounts of short-wavelength
radiation over a period of several months, the photolysis rate
constants for the series of experiments must diminish in accor-
dance with the order of performance of the experiments. Arbitrary
adjustments for such effects must be avoided.
The results of applying these procedures and principles is summarized in
Section 2, which also presents the conclusions and recommendations. Sections 3,
4, and 5 each present detailed discussions on the developmental work in the areas
of inorganic chemistry, explicit mechanisms, and the chemistry of toluene.
Section 6 describes some studies using the generalized chemistry of the CBM.

SECTION 2
SUMMARY OF RESULTS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This section of the report presents general conclusions based on the
final year of this study. The three main topics summarized are (1) the
development of aromatics chemistry; (2) the adaptation of smog chemistry to
the changing atmospheric effects caused by natural variations in ultraviolet
light, temperature, and humidity; and (3) the precursor dependence of various
species in smog chemistry.
In computer modeling studies such as this one, many ideas are tried, and
large quantities of computer output are produced. In the descriptions of
the activity that produced the current closest agreement between simulations
and observational data, the implicit conclusion is that the steps taken were
both unique and necessary. However, experience has shown that equally close
agreement is possible from several combinations of adjustments to physical
conditions and mechanisms. Hence, the conclusions presented here must be
qualified with the caveat that the results are subject to change in accordance
with new data and further modeling efforts.
GENERAL CONCLUSIONS
During the past year, significant progress in mechanism development has
occurred, particularly in aromatics chemistry and inorganic chemistry. Impor-
tant discoveries in aromatics chemistry indicate that many of the carbon atoms
react with few conversions of NO to N02, that some carbon atoms are very reac-
tive, and that considerable N0x, apparently via NO^, is converted to organic
nitrates. Olefin and paraffin chemistries, which were developed in earlier
7

-------
studies, tended to have nearly all carbon atoms equally reactive, and the
major portion of NO was converted to nitric acid with little invlovement of
the NO-j radical.
The atmospheric lighting effects from intermittent clouds or overcast
conditions are difficult to characterize quantitatively. A single measure
of light intensity, such as total solar radiation, appears to be inadequate
for completely simulating observed smog chamber data. The changes produced by
clouds in the ultraviolet spectrum have yet to be adequately characterized
in Our simulations as a function of wavelength. The major effect of temper-
ature on smog chemistry, in our current mechanism, is connected with the
chemistry of peroxynitric acid (PNA). At low temperatures the formation of
PNA is enhanced because of a negative activation energy, and at the same time,
the decomposition of PNA is retarded because of a large positive activation
energy. This compound acts as a temporary sink for radicals that would other-
wise be available to drive the smog chemistry. Since PNA is formed from both
a radical (H02) and N02, the temperature effects on experiments with low H02
and N02 concentrations are minimal.
It is likely that PNA chemistry also explains the effect of humidity on
smog chemistry, but more experiments comparing wet and dry atmospheres need
to be studied. The involvement of water vapor on many important individual
reactions also needs further study.
Various species produced by the generalized chemistry of the CBM have
been plotted as isopleths, which are functions of the smog precursor con-
centrations of hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. The shapes and locations of
these isopleths are useful for predicting measurement and experimental pro-
grams designed to verify the CBM. These diagrams should also be useful for
predicting the conditions most affected by the reactions that could be added
to the CBM. For instance, the reaction of OH* with S02 might be added to
simulate sulfate formation. In this ease, the isopleth diagram for OH-
generated by the CBM suggests that maximum OH* occurs at a specific HC/NO
X
ratio and is virtually independent of concentration of the HC and NO pre-
X
cursors if their ratio is held constant.

MECHANISM REFINEMENT
The initial conditions and mechanisms are provided for all of the UCR
simulations reported in this study. However, a satisfactory method of pre-
senting the time-dependent temperature and light flux data used to simulate
the UNC experiments is not available at this time and, therefore, they are not
included in this report. Adjustments were made from the reported data only as
follows:
>	A small initial concentration of HONO was assumed in each
simulation to help reproduce the measured rate of consump-
tion of the initial hydrocarbon(s) early in each experiment.
The amount of HONO assumed was always less than the equi-
librium concentration calculated for the initial NO and N02
concentrations using the equation (Durbin, Hecht, and
Whitten, 1975):
[HN°2]eq = (4.18 x 10"7) exp 2365/T ([N0][N02][H20])1/2
>	In simulations, primarily of UCR data, small adjustments
were made in the photolysis constants. These adjustments,
like those of the initial HONO concentration, helped to
simulate accurately the measured consumption of the initial
hydrocarbon(s). The adjustments were within the range of
reported intensity variations and the main justification
for their use is that they ensured hydrocarbon decay
products were being used in the mechanisms at the observed
rates.
>	In a few simulations, the initial HC or NO concentration
X
was changed slightly from the measured value. The adjust-
ments were generally within the observed scatter in the
data. The reported initial value is merely one data
point in a series; adjustments were made to obtain the
closest overall agreement between all the simulated and
measured concentrations of HC and NO .
X
9

-------
> In some UCR experiments, for which the reported initial NO
A
concentration was zero, PAN was detected. The presence of
PAN, which contains nitrogen, indicates the presence of NO
/\
at some time during the experiment. To simulate these ex-
periments we had to assume limited degassing of NO from the
X
chamber walls. The assumed input of NO was so small that
X
including it in simulations of smog chamber experiments with
nonzero initial NO concentrations had no discernible effects.
X
In fact, there seemed to be an unexplained loss of NO in
X
many UCR experiments, which may be the result of trapping of
NO on the walls of the chamber.
A
We used these methods to adjust the simulated hydrocarbon consumption
rate to fit the measurements so that the simulation results would reflect the
generation of secondary products in the chamber from the decay products of
the primary precursors. Future research on photolysis constants, for example,
may show that the adjustments used in this report are in error. Other
sources of radicals and radical sinks may be discovered that our current
mechanisms do not properly describe. Nevertheless, the present approach
uses carbonyl compounds as surrogates for the compounds produced during an
experiment, and these in turn generate radicals. In this approach,
the rate of production of radicals varies during the simulations. This
variation produces different simulations than a constant rate of radical pro-
duction would (e.g., if radicals are assumed to be supplied by the walls of
the chamber, the radical production would be constant).
The assumption that radicals are supplied by the photolysis of products
formed from the decay of the precursors is directly applicable to atmospheric
modeling. The range of photolysis rate constants used to simulate UCR
experiments provides an indication of the sensitivity of radical production
and subsequent ozone formation to light intensity. The average value of 0.004
for the ratio of the formaldehyde radical production photolysis rate constant
to the N02 photolysis rate constant, used in simulations of UCR experiments,
is close to the 0.003 average value used in simulations of experiments in the
10

-------
outdoor smog chamber at UNC. Thus, the solar simulator used at UCR produces
a spectrum that is consistent with the actual solar spectrum in terms of the
aldehyde photolysis required in our mechanisms.
All the explicit mechanisms were tested in two different smog chambers.
The only changes made between chambers were the following:
>	Photolysis constants were adjusted and maintained for each
UCR experiment. Adjustments were almost never made for the
UNC experiments except on an experimental basis on cloudy
days. However, the photolysis rates for the UNC simulations
were varied continously according to the measured solar
radiation.
>	Ozone decay on the chamber walls was simulated in all UCR
runs with a first-order rate constant of 0.001 min-1, and in
all UNC runs with a rate constant of 0.00022 min ^ .
-6 -1 -1
>	The rate constant used for N2O5 + H^O was 5x10 ppm min
for all UCR runs with an EC number between 121 and 279, and
-5 -1 . -1
1.5 x 10 ppm min was used for all others. (The chamber
was apparently altered after EC-279.) A value of 5.5 x 10 ^
pprrf^min ^ was used for all UNC experiments.
>	Two reactions were used to simulate formaldehyde adsorption
and desorption from the walls in all UNC experiments. In
some UNC formaldehyde experiments, the amounts of formalde-
hyde initially assumed to be on the chamber walls were ad-
justed to simulate the observed formaldehyde behavior. No
wall interactions were considered for formaldehyde in the
UCR simulations because these experiments were performed
with the walls heated to 303K.
11

-------
Conclusions that can be drawn from the formaldehyde simulations are
clouded by problems with the measurement of formaldehyde and its tendency to
adhere to surfaces. However, the present chemistry used to simulate the
experiments in both chambers shows no gross inadequacies. The UCR experiments
utilized trace levels of butane which could be used to monitor OH levels. In
two experiments, without added NO , the simulated butane decay was too fast.
A
Thus, the mechanism appears to lack a sink reaction for radicals that becomes
important at very low N0X levels. There is no evidence in these formaldehyde
simulations to indicate a need for reactions which would suppress ozone or
lower the efficiency of ozone production from the conversion of NO to N02- The
agreement between simulated and observed concentrations of CO in the UNC ex-
periments confirms that the peroxyformyl radical, HCOg, is probably not important
since C02 would be expected from the reaction of this radical with NO.
The chemistry of acetaldehyde adds the chemistries of the CH^ radical
and PAN to the formaldehyde mechanism in addition to the acetaldehyde itself.
Section 4 presents evidence to support the use of a low overall quantum
yield for radical production from the photolysis of acetaldehyde. The
acetaldehyde simulations themselves are basically consistent with the ob-
servations, but the PAN predictions are uncertain. In early 1978, the PAN
analyzer at UNC was recalibrated downward; therefore, most of our simulations
of UNC experiments prior to this recalibration underpredict PAN while those
after the recalibration overpredict PAN. Acetaldehyde experiments without
added NO appear to be a useful means of monitoring the offgassing of NO
x	*
from smog chamber walls by monitoring PAN production.
From the study of several simulations of ethylene chemistry, we have
concluded that further characterization of the formaldehyde and inorganic
chemistry will be necessary before any major changes to the ethylene chemistry
can be tested adequately.
The combination of the ethylene and acetaldehyde mechanisms was tested
in the dual UNC chamber against the chemistry of propylene. Although more
12

-------
experiments will be needed for confirmation, it appears that too much PAN is
generated by the present acetaldehyde mechanism. The same instrument is used
to monitor PAN from both sides of the dual chamber; however, using the present
chemistry, PAN in the ethylene/acetaldehyde side was overpredicted while PAN
in the propylene side was underpredicted. The only organic precursor for PAN
in both mechanisms is acetaldehyde. Hence, an error in the acetaldehyde mech-
anism causing the production of too much PAN infers that a pathway to PAN for-
mation is missing from the propylene mechanism.
The discrepancies between the observations and the computer simulations,
like those in the ethylene chemistry, are often masked by the light flux, tem-
perature, and humidity effects; these discrepancies are due to inaccuracies
in the formaldehyde and inorganic mechanisms. These problems show up in
the ethylene and propylene simulations more often than in the formaldehyde ex-
periments because of the limited number of formaldehyde experiments. A signifi-
cant change made in the propylene chemistry was the reduction in radical yield
resulting from oxygen atom attack on propylene. We conclude that our current
yield of two radicals 25 percent of the time represents an upper limit since
higher yields tend to initiate the oxidation chemistry too early in simulations
of UNC experiments.
From these propylene simulations, we tentatively conclude that some form
of suppression is needed for either ozone itself or the NO conversion effi-
A
ciency. That is, the number of N0-to-N02 conversions per reaction of propy-
lene appears to be too high, especially for simulations of the UCR data. The
problem with this conclusion is that the UNC simulations often result in the
reverse effect. Hence, there may be a chamber-dependent effect that is spe-
cific to propylene. Indeed, the performance of similar propylene/acetaldehyde
experiments indicates that some factor is missing since the current mechanisms
do not successfully simulate the results from both chambers.
From the present study of butane chemistry, we conclude that the assump-
tion of close competition between alternate pathways for the sec-butoxyl
radical has finally been verified. For several years, modelers have found
that this assumption was a convenient way to tune the predictions of butane
simulations to observed product distributions. However, the competition
13

-------
between thermal decomposition and reaction with oxygen could not be measured
in laboratory studies at conditions relevant to the smog chamber experiments.
The results of the present simulations of experiments conducted at
three different temperatures show that the variance in product distribution
between acetaldehyde and MEK is explained by the activation energy of the
decomposition pathway.
Other conclusions based on the butane study are that an ozone suppression
reaction is needed and that nitrate production is an important but limited
sink for both radicals and N0V. A major source for radicals, in general, and
PAN, in particular, is the photolysis of MEK in our mechanism, but this
conclusion needs the further verification that will be possible when the smog
chamber experiments using only this organic are modeled.
Our simulations of toluene/NOv systems lead us to conclude that the
a-dicarbonyl compounds, formed in the photooxidation of aromatics systems,
photolyze very rapidly, yielding a high overall radical concentration. How-
ever, compared with other hydrocarbons, aromatics systems are relatively inef-
ficient producers of peroxy radicals. The net result of these two factors is
a high rate of hydrocarbon and NO decay in aromatics systems but an ineffi-
A
cient production of ozone.
In the aromatics system, there also appears to be a major sink for N0V,
A
in addition to the formation of PAN and nitric acid. Unlike the N0V sink
represented by alkylnitrate formation in paraffinic systems, the aromatics
N0X sink dominates after the N02 peak and seems to be associated with the
NOg radical.
The overall mass balance is very poor for both nitrogen and carbon in
the smog chamber data available to us.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In this section, we offer specific recommendations that focus on using
modeling to highlight needs for future studies. In many cases, the
14

-------
discussions in the rest of this report explain thoroughly the reasons for
these recommendations. The recommendations are divided into three categories:
laboratory measurements of reaction products and rate constants, smog chamber
experiments, and analytical techniques. In addition to these specific recom-
mendations, we wish to emphasize the need for continued research to reduce the
uncertainties in reaction rate constants and product distributions for indi-
vidual reactions associated with, and under experimental conditions relevant
to, smog chemistry. We also wish to stress the need for continued chamber
and modeling studies and analytical improvements to provide carbon and nitro-
gen mass balances for smog chamber experiments.
The specific recommendations regarding smog chamber experiments to be
used with modeling studies are:
>	A series of experiments using individual hydrocarbons from
a homologous series should be performed. In the paraffin
series, only butane and 2,3-dimethylbutane have been care-
fully studied. Such molecules as pentane, hexane, and
others found in the atmosphere should be studied so that
the schemes used in generalized mechanisms to generate
average rate constants can be evaluated. Developmental
work on butane chemistry itself should be enhanced because
the chemistry of nitrate production and alkyl radical
reactions would require that the reactions pertinent to
butane be treated as part of a similar series.
>	Experiments using molecules with various ring structures
should be performed so that explicit mechanisms for them
can be developed. Cyclohexane and cyclohexene are observed
in the atmosphere, as are the various ring structures of
natural hydrocarbons such as a-pinene. However, the details
of the smog chemistry of such compounds are not known well
enough to justify using generalized mechanisms to evaluate
the importance of those compounds in photochemical oxidant
formation in the atmosphere.
15

-------
>	Smog chamber experiments should be performed, similar to
the formaldehyde and acetaldehyde series reported here,
for the other photolytically active species utilized in
this study such as MEK, acetone, glyoxal, methylglyoxal,
and biacetyl. Trace quantities of butane should be pres-
ent in these experiments to monitor the hydroxy!
concentration.
>	Experiments at high HC/NO ratios are needed, along with
/\
nitrate measurements, for long chain paraffins and aro-
matics in order to verify the predictions of the carbon
bond chemistry.
>	Experiments in an aerosol chamber should be util-
ized so that organic and nitrate aerosol production can be
simulated using the aromatics mechanism.
>	Experiments designed to determine the threshold of impor-
tance of OpD) should be performed. Ozone should be a
significant initial reactant so that the hydroxyl radicals
generated from 0(1D) dominate other sources of radicals such
as formaldehyde.
>	Experiments using	or some other suitable radical source,
should be conducted with CO at various temperatures and humid-
ities to verify the inorganic chemistry.
Experiments commonly performed in laboratory vessels can also be per-
formed in smog chambers (at night if photochemistry is to be avoided).
The recommendations concerning laboratory experiments of specific reac-
tions are:
>	Reactions and rate constants of alkylperoxy radicals at
typical atmospheric concentrations should be studied.
The reactions of alkylperoxy radicals with NO, NO2. 03,
and other radicals (particularly HOp are most appropriate
16

-------
for study. In addition to the rate of reaction with NO,
the pathway to nitrate formation needs to be determined
as a function of the structure of the alky! group.
The fate of the addition products when hydroxy! radicals
react with olefins under atmospheric conditions should
be determined. In particular, the peroxy radical that
apparently forms when oxygen adds to the addition
product may react with ozone; this possibility may still
warrant consideration. The upper limit to formation of
hydroxy substituted products should also be determined.
The photolysis of ketones and aldehydes under typical
atmospheric conditions should be studied to determine
possible radical products. Modern kinetic mechanisms
generally rely on the photolysis of carbonyl compounds
(which are intermediate products in the atmospheric oxi-
dation of hydrocarbons) to supply the majority of the
radicals necessary to sustain the overall smog formation
process in simulations.
The competitive chemistry for Criegee intermediates needs
to be determined between NO, NO2, S0£, aldehydes, and
other possible reactions. The products of these reactions
also need verification, especially the reactions with l^-
The effects of water concentration on virtually all smog
reactions are uncertain. However, the chemistry of HO2 and
peroxynitric acid requires immediate verification since
current modeling studies are assuming that the chemistry of
these compounds is strongly influenced by water.
The influence of ammonia on smog chemistry may parallel
that of water so that the studies using HgO might include
this compound as well.
The yield of various products from the attack of oxygen
atoms on olefins should be studied at atmospheric condi-
tions to verify the assumed yields given in this report.
Significant involvement of the N03 radical is implicated
in many cases. The products and rate constants for the
17

-------
many possible reactions of NO^ need to be determined. In
particular, the various intermediates in aromatics chem-
istry, as well as butane chemistry, warrant special atten-
tion for study with NOg.
>	The compound 2-butene-dial is the logical product of the
aromatics mechanism. However, the chemistry of this species
is very uncertain. Photolysis, hydroxyl attack, and reac-
tion with ozone and NOg all require investigation.
Our recommendations for improved measurements are as follows:
>	Data at 300 nm [for 0(1d) chemistry], 320 nm (for aldehyde
photolysis), and 380 nm (for NO2 photolysis) need to be
continuously monitored relative to each other with at least
one determined absolutely. The shape and level of the solar
spectra appear to be the most important data needed to model
smog photochemistry, especially on partially cloudy days.
>	The measurement of the following compounds is needed: organic
nitrates, 2-butene-dial, MEK, acetone, glyoxals,
and H^O^.
>	The accuracy of aldehyde measurements, especially formalde-
hyde, must be improved.
>	The temperature and water effects on the formaldehyde
adsorption/desorption problem should be characterized.
18

-------
SECTION 3
TREATMENT OF INORGANIC REACTIONS
The inorganic reaction set forms the basis of all smog chemistry. In
practical terms, the nearly 300 smog chamber experiments now in our data
inventory all need to be modeled using the same set of inorganic reactions.
Recent significant changes to this set of reactions have led to questions
concerning the reliability of previous simulations as well as those currently
being performed. The following examples indicate important recent develop-
ments:
>	The discovery of peroxynitric acid and related compounds
having strong temperature-dependent chemistries.
>	Drastic changes in rate constant estimates for important
reactions such as HO2 plus NO.
>	The discovery of a significant water effect in the UNC
chamber and the consequent need for further laboratory
studies of many individual reactions.
Smog chamber experiments that emphasize the inorganic set of reactions
are becoming more available. In the present study, the experiments using
formaldehyde were intended for the purpose of emphasizing inorganic reactions,
but complications have arisen involving the measurement and physical adsorption-
desorption of this compound onto and off the chamber walls. In the near
future, experiments using hydrogen peroxide as a radical source together with
carbon monoxide to convert hydroxyl radicals to H02 will be carried out. By
that time, we hope that the temperature and water dependence of the basic in-
organic reaction set will have been established more firmly.
19

-------
Before the writing of the interim report for this contract (Whitten et
al., 1979) the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) evaluation of atmospheric
chemistry was released (Hampson and Garvin, 1978). This year the NASA
evaluation (DeMore et al., 1979) has been released. For the most part, we
have used the latest recommended set of rate constants. The remainder of this
section discusses our reasons for using alternative reaction rate estimates and
our particular implementation of the NASA recommendations. If a reaction
appeared in the 1978 NBS evaluation, but not in the recent NASA evaluation,
the NBS recommendation was used. The inorganic reaction set used in this
report is presented in Table l.

PHOTOLYSIS REACTIONS
As in previous studies we have used NO2 photolysis rates, k-j, as reported
for simulating UCR and Battelle smog chamber experiments. For experiments in
the UNC chamber we have used 0.4 times the value reported for total solar
radiation (TSR) as recommended by Jeffries (private communication, 1978) unless
ultraviolet (UV) data were available. Evidently the presence of reflective
clouds and overcast conditions alters the ratio of ultraviolet radiation to
total radiation in a manner that not only can change rapidly with time but
also is impractical to characterize in any general way (Demerjian, Schere, and
Peterson, 1979). Hence, the UNC experiments on cloudy days without UV data are
often poorly simulated. The constant we have used to convert the UNC data
2
from UV into values for k-| is 12cm /cal; this value corresponds to 0.4 times
the TSR data on very clear days. Jeffries, Fox, and Kamens (1976) have
shown that the value of k-j inside the chamber is higher than the values reported
outside because of the reflective bottom of the chamber. To account for the
reflective bottom, we have further adjusted the k-j values using a correction
factor recommended by Jeffries (private communication, 1979), which varies
linearly with time: At 0900 and 1600 hours the factor equals 1.0, and at noon
the value is 1.15.
The photolysis constants for 03, H0N0, H202» and the aldehydes are
determined, as a rule, relative to the NO2 photolysis. As discussed in our
interim report (Whitten et al., 1979), the photolysis constant for each of these
species tends to have a region of the ultraviolet spectra (290 to 420 nm)
that is particularly sensitive to the determination of each photolysis
constant. In particular, the photolysis of 0^ to form 0(^D) is most sensitive
to the photon flux near 290 nm; the photolysis of most aldehydes appears to
be most sensitive at about 320 nm; the H0N0 photolysis is mostly determined
near 370 nm; and the N02 photolysis constant is mostly determined by the
photon flux near 390 nm.
Our procedure was to use the published information on absorption cross
sections and quantum yields in conjunction with the data taken at the smog
chamber facility on light intensity and the k-| in our computer simulation scheme.

Outdoor Simulations
For outdoor simulations the solar flux data for various zenith angles
recommended by Schere and Demerjian (1977) were used with cross-section and
quantum yield information for each species (including NO^) in order to determine
the matrix of photolysis ratios relative to NO^ for each species at the various
zenith angles. During each simulation, the N02 photolysis is determined
directly from the UV or TSR data as discussed previously. From the location,
date, and time at any moment in the simulation a zenith angle is determined
using the subroutine called SOLAR, which was developed by Busse (1971). A
series of cubic spline functions is then used to interpolate among the
various zenith angle values of the photolysis constants relative to N02>
which were determined earlier for carbonyl species. Other species such as
H202 and HONO are unchanged relative to NO2. Table 2 shows the matrix of
photolysis ratios to N02 as a function of the zenith angles for formaldehyde
and acetaldehyde. Higher aldehydes are treated as acetaldehyde. These are the
photolysis ratios to N02 photolysis used in the UNC simulations:
03 + hv + 0(3P) + 02	.042
03 + hv + 0(1D) + 02	.001
HONO + hv + NO + OH	.30
HOOH + hv 2 OH	.0014
Smog Chamber Simulations
For a discussion of the procedures for conducting simulations of experi-
ments in the UCR smog chamber or other chambers in which artificial light is
used, as well as some of the problems encountered, see Whitten et al. (1979).
Basically, our simulations have employed the reported N02 photolysis constant.
All other photolysis constants are then determined relative to N02 using the
same cross-section and quantum yield data that were employed in the outdoor
simulations and relative spectra information appropriate to the light source
used in the chamber experiment. However, we have arbitrarily varied the
aldehyde and ozone [to form O^D)] constants to improve the agreement between
the simulations and the observed data.

As demonstrated in Whitten et al. (1979), the published relative spectra
obtained for the UCR chamber showed considerable scatter at the wavelengths to
which these two types of photolysis processes are sensitive. The range over
which we varied the photolysis constants is less than the range of the observed
scatter for aldelydes. For example, the average aldehyde photolysis value for
formaldehyde photolysis to radical products approximates the average value
calculated from the reported relative spectra. The calculated ozone photolysis,
on the other hand, exhibits a wide range of fluctuations. In general, we have
arbitrarily lowered this rate, which produces O^D), if the reported spectra
indicate high levels of radiation in the 290 to 300 nm wavelength range.
Using large production rates for 0(^D) tends to produce results that are
typical of simulations involving too many radicals. Our experience in modeling
smog chamber experiments indicates that 0(^D) chemistry is not important.
24

-------
However, the chemistry of 0(^D) in the unpolluted atmosphere must be important
because the ratios of ozone to precursor concentrations are much higher than
in typical smog chamber experiments. Thus, an area for future research is the
definition of the transition zone at which 0(^D) chemistry becomes important.
ho2 CHEMISTRY
During the past year, we have attempted to incorporate some of the recent
information on the chemistry of this species into our inorganic set of reactions
Hamilton and Naleway (1976) have demonstrated the theoretical bases for the
formation of a strong complex between HO^ and water. The involvement of such
a complex has been used to explain an observed enhancement of the apparent rate
constant for the self reaction of H02 (Hamilton and Lii, 1978). Cox (1978)
has studied the pressure, water, and temperature dependence of this reaction
and derived the following relationship for the rate constant:
k = (8[M] + 4.08 x 1020)"1 (3.25 x 108 + 4 x 10"10[M] A-1)
+ 1.1 x 10'34[H20] exp (+ 3730/t) A-1
where A = 1 + 3.5 x 10 ^[M] exp (- 2060/t), and the units of k are in molecules"
cm3sec_1. We have converted this relationship to ppnf^min"1 units in two terms
with two activation energies; at 298K, k = 3370 + 0.116[H20], and the activation
energies of the two terms are -1930K and -6020K, respectively. The two activa-
tion energies were obtained by fitting an Arrhenius form to the original rela-
tionship at 298K and 260K. The rate constant at 298K without water is close to
the 3750 value recommended in the latest NASA review.
Other reactions of H02 may be influenced by water, though a recent study
by DeMore (1979) indicates that such is not the case for the reaction with 0^.
Jeffries (private communication, 1979) has suggested that the reaction of HO,,
with N02 to form PNA is influenced by water vapor. This suggestion explains,
at least partially, the humidity effect observed in the UNC chamber. Our
approach has involved modeling the humidity effect by modifying I.he chemistry
of PNA. Analogous to the rate expression for the HO,, self-reaction, wo use

-------
the following expression for the H02 reaction rate constant with N02 at 298K:
k = 1700 +0.05 [HgO]. The activation energies we use for the two terms are
-HOOK and -2000K, respectively. The first term is close to the value of -1500K
suggested recently by Cox and Patrick (1979). The negative activation energy
of -1400K is obtained by fitting an Arrhenius expression to the temperature
-5
dependence factor--(T/300) --suggested in the NASA review by DeMore et al. (1979).
For the activation energy of the water-dependent term, we tried values near
-4400K. that would be analogous to the ratio used for the two terns in the HOg
self-reaction. However, we have lowered the value to -2000K because use of
the higher value tended to result in too much PNA in cold smog chamber experi-
ments, such as the propylene run of 10 January 1978 in the UNC chamber.
PER0XYNITRIC ACID CHEMISTRY
The PNA formed without water unimolecularly decomposes back to the H0£
and NO2 precursors. For this reaction, we used the rate constant and activation
energy estimated by Graham, Winer, and Pitts (1978). In our attempts to model
the substantial humidity effect observed in the UNC smog chamber on
21 October 1978, we treated the PNA formed by means of the hK^-l^O complex
differently from the "dry" PNA. We assumed that (1) the water molecule attached
to the PNA lowers the decomposition rate by stabilizing the peroxy bond, and
that (2) whereas the rate of dry PNA removal by the chamber walls is not
important, the "wet" PNA can add yet another water molecule and then be removed
at the walls. Hence, the main features of our current model of the substantial
humidity effect are the enhancement of PNA production combined with slower PNA
decomposition and water-dependent removal of the wet PNA. Obviously, we expect
this scheme to be modified in the near future as additional dual smog chamber
experiments verify the humidity effect and map the dependence of the effect on
temperature and water concentrations. In addition, the dark removal rate of
PNA to the UNC chamber walls and the possible influence of water vapor on that
rate must be determined. The removal rate of PNA has been observed to be
rapid in laboratory vessels (Levine et al., 1977). Independent laboratory
measurements of any effects of ^0 on the formation and decomposition rates
26

-------
of PNA must also be taken. The influence of NH^ might also be studied since
Hamilton and Naleway (1976) have shown that the formation of ammonia complexes
with HO^ are similar to those that are formed with water.
27

SECTION 4
DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION
OF THE EXPLICIT MECHANISMS
The interim report described the major developmental effort of the
first two years of this contract (Whitten et al., 1979). It reflected the
split of developmental work from the traditional propylene and butane
mechanisms to the more fundamental mechanisms, such as formaldehyde and
acetaldehyde,, on the one hand, and to expansions of the traditional mecha-
nisms to include ethylene, 1-butene, trans-2-butene, and 2-3 dimethyl butane,
on the other hand. The concept of hierarchical levels was developed and
used to help build mechanisms which contained common, independently validated
subsets of reactions.
This year the split of developmental work was even more pronounced
because the basic inorganic chemistry received special attention while
explicit (or at least semi-explicit) aromatics chemistry was developed
simultaneously. The work on aromatics chemistry represents a reversal of
our traditional approach based on hierarchical levels that would normally
lead to a condensed version of aromatics chemistry for use in the carbon-
bond atmospheric mechanism. To develop explicit aromatics chemistry, we
began with a condensed empirical mechanism and are now developing the overall
explicit chemistry by filling in the fundamental chemistry responsible for
the empirical pathways we had been using. We have reformulated the condensed
chemistry, where necessary, as our knowledge and the data base have expanded.
A key facet of our efforts this past year has been the use of an expanded
data base from smog chamber experiments primarily from the outdoor chamber
at UNC. Hence the remainder of this section illustrates the present state
of modeling a large data base, but does not detail mechanism development
28

-------
(aromatics chemistry is described in Section 5). The developmental discussions
on inorganic chemistry were given previously.
FORMALDEHYDE
The basic parts of smog chemistry are found in the simple system of
formaldehyde and N0x irradiated in air. Furthermore, the set of chemical
reactions that describe this system is common to virtually any smog chamber
experiment and is common to all smog chemistry in the troposphere. Hence,
the establishment of a reliable and well-founded mechanism for this system
acts as a cornerstone to the knowledge of smog chemistry.
The basic parts of smog chemistry consist of NO chemistry in air and
X
hydrocarbon chemistry. The buildup of oxidants, primarily ozone, occurs
when NO is converted to NO2 by reactions other than the reaction of ozone
itself with nitric oxide. The hydrocarbon chemistry supplies this indepen-
dent NO conversion; hydroxyl attack produces the required peroxy radicals;
the subsequent NO conversions regenerate the hydroxyls. Carbonyl side pro-
A
ducts, such as aldehydes, photolyze to maintain the balance of the hydroxyl-
peroxy radical pool with the radical sink reactions (e.g., nitrate forma-
tion). Formaldehyde is subject to hydroxyl attack yet it can also photolyze
to generate the radicals necessary to sustain the oxidation chemistry. There
appear to be three primary reactions of formaldehyde in photochemical smog:
photolysis (two reactions) and reaction with 0H-:
Note that formaldehyde photolysis can produce both radical and nonradical
products. The former is a major source of radicals important to smog
chemistry:
HCHO + hv -v H- + HCO'
HCHO + hv - H2 + CO
HCHO + OH- H20 + HCO-
(1)
(2)
(3)
H- + 02 + M h- HO^ + M
HCO- + 02 + HOj + CO
(4)
(5)
29

-------
In air at atmospheric pressure, Reactions (4) and (5) are very fast, and
so Reactions (1) and (3) are normally written as:
2CL
HCHO + hv + 2H0a, + CO	(6)
°2
HCHO + OH- H20 + HO^ + CO . (7)
This formaldehyde mechanism was tested using smog chamber data from the
UCR and UNC facilities. Figures 2 through 5 present four simulations of
formaldehyde experiments in the UCR chamber and Figures 6 through 14
illustrate nine in the UNC chamber. The initial conditions used are given
in Tables 3 and 4. The UCR experiments contained trace quantities of butane
that could be used to check the hydroxyl levels. This check was useful for
these experiments because the decay of formaldehyde occurs through a com-
bination of photolysis and hydroxyl attack.
The data on formaldehyde in both chambers was difficult to obtain and is
probably not very accurate. For the UCR experiments, we have ignored the
initial concentrations measured and have derived initial concentrations that
correspond to the actual carefully measured amounts of formaldehyde injected
into the chamber for each experiment. Two of the UCR experiments, EC-250
and EC-255, ostensibly contained no nitrogen oxides. However, the data
indicate low levels of N0V (<0.02 ppm) and we assumed that the walls were
-5	-1
emitting low levels at the constant rate of 8 x 10 ppm min . This level
of N0X release profoundly changes the ozone produced in these experiments, but
such low levels barely affect the more normal experiments when N0x is added
intentionally. Moreover, we feel that, when high levels of NO are added to the
J\
chamber, some NO is probably lost to the walls rather than gained from them.
X
Analysis of and experimentation with various release rates of N02 and NO
show that the hydroxyl level (as monitored by butane decay) and ozone pro-
duction could best be simulated by assuming only NO was released. A sensitive
test of our assumptions on NO release, in addition to parts of the mech-
A
anism itself, would have been possible, however, if accurate H2O2 data has
existed. Very low levels of NO allow H02 radicals to build up until the self-

reaction produces	In such cases, this production reaction becomes
an important radical sink, whereas the hydroxyl attack on NO^ dominates the
sink reactions for most other simulations.
The other two formaldehyde experiments simulated using UCR data were at
a moderate NO level, 0.1 ppm, and a rather high NO level, 0.5 ppm. Both
x	x
of these experiments are simulated by the current inorganic chemistry
(Table 1) combined with the three reactions of formaldehyde (Table 5). The
apparent overprediction of ozone in the early part of Experiment EC-252 can
be rationalized by the sample tube effect which occurs when NO concentrations
are larye enough to deplete ozone significantly between the time the sample
leaves the ultraviolet light of the chamber and the time it is finally
measured.
The nine experiments from the UNC chamber could be simulated with the
current chemistry, but the modeling of these experiments is complicated by
many factors:
> The lighting under overcast conditions or variable clouds has
yet to be satisfactorily determined. The UV data gave better
simulations than the TSR data. The data were enhanced by 20
percent in three of the experiments as indicated in Table 4.
The last of these three, the experiment performed on
21 September 1978 in the blue side, has UV data, yet the simu-
lation still seems to be low in radicals, as indicated by
the inadequate decay of formaldehyde shown in Figure 14.
> Cool temperatures apparently lead to formaldehyde conden-
sation on the walls of the chamber. We have attempted to
model this complication by using the following two reactions
in all nine experiments at UNC. For each individual experi-
ment we adjusted the ratio of initial formaldehyde on the
walls to the initial formaldehyde in the gas phase, in order
to reproduce the observed overall experiment:

>	Butane was not added to the UNC experiments but CO data was
often available. A small quantity of ethylene was present
in the experiment of 19 September 1978, on the blue side,
which was useful for monitoring the hydroxyl level. The
success of the current mechanism for monitoring CO seems to
indicate that the peroxyformyl radical, HCO^, is probably
not important since CO2 would be expected from the reaction
of this radical with NO.
In future experiments with formaldehyde we recommend the following:
>	Dual UV data at 320 nm and at 390 nm so that the ratio of
formaldehyde photolysis to N02 photolysis can be determined.
>	Addition of trace levels of butane to monitor hydroxyl
levels.
>	Characterization of the temperature and humidity effects
associated with the problem of formaldehyde condensation
on, or evaporation from, the chamber walls.
>	Improved formaldehyde data.
All of these recommendations are currently being considered at UNC. In
summary, we are encouraged by the ability of the present chemistry to predict
the drastic range of reactivity shown in the dual chamber experiment of
8 September 1978. Both sides of the smog chamber had essentially equal loadings
of NO near 1 ppm, yet the side with over 3 ppm of formaldehyde showed an
X
ozone level near 1.3 ppm while the side with about 1 ppm of formaldehyde
showed an ozone peak less than 0.05 ppm. As discussed previously, the low
ozone observed in the low formaldehyde side is partially due to titration of
0^ by NO in the sample tube. Tables 6 and 7 present a summary of the results
for the formaldehyde simulations.

ACETALDEHYDE
The chemistry of acetaldehyde (Table 5) has not changed significantly with-
in the last year except for the photolysis reaction of acetaldehyde itself.
Once the formaldehyde photolysis reactions and chemistry were established for
the UNC experiments, it was apparent that experiments with NO and pure acetal-
dehyde needed less radicals than our former mechanism had predicted. Surprisingly
we found that using the lower limit quantum yields recommended by Dermerjian,
Schere, and Peterson (1979) provided ratios of acetaldehyde photolysis to NO,,
photolysis, which produced good simulations of the UNC experiments. As shown in
Table 2, the new values are about 15 percent of the formaldehyde photolysis
rate constant which produces radicals. Last year we had used a value of 50
percent which was based on a general impression from several UCR experiments.
One important exception to the use of the higher acetaldehyde photolysis had
i
been UCR experiment EC-217, a mixture of propylene and acetaldehyde with NO .
X
For the results presented in the interim report (Whitten et al., 1979), we
had arbitrarily varied the photolysis rates for each experiment to optimize
each simulation, keeping the constants for formaldehyde to acetaldehyde
radical producing photolysis fixed at a 2:1 ratio. In general, we tried to
keep the range of adjustment within the range of observed fluctuations in
the spectra reported. We also attempted to keep similar photolysis constants
for a series of consecutive experiments. However, EC-216 and EC-217 seemed
to require an "adjustment" of nearly a 40 percent reduction for EC-217 com-
pared with EC-216. With the lower acetaldehyde photolysis, both of these
experiments can be simulated with identical photolysis constants.
The two acetaldehyde experiments presented in this report from UCR data
are shown in Figures 15 and 16. The initial conditions and results are given
in Tables 8 and 9. Aldehyde photolysis rate constants are presented as
HCHO -* Radicals. The experiment without NO intentionally added, EC-253,
A
illustrates a sensitive method to measure NO release from the chamber walls.
A
During the experiment, PAN built up to 40 ppb in six hours, yet N02 and NO re-
mained below the detection limit of 10 ppb. Most NO leaving the chamber walls
/\
is evidently held in the gas phase as PAN, which can be readily monitored with
the PAN analyzer. Without acetaldehyde as the dominant organic species, the
NO would typically be converted to HN0v a species which is not only

difficult to measure but also is subject to absorption by the walls. The N0x
"off gassing" from the walls was modeled for experiment EC-253 by a simple
zero-order reaction producing NO at the rate of 1.0 x 10 ^ ppm min"^.
Twelve acetaldehyde experiments were simulated for the UNC chamber.
Tables 10 and 11 present the tabulated initial conditions and results while
Figures 17 through 28 show the results graphically. The NO^ data are not cor-
rected for PAN because the PAN data were not always available and when the
data were available, before February 1978, the PAN calibration was about 40
percent too high. As with the formaldehyde experiments, on overcast days or
under partial cloud cover, the photolysis constants are poorly represented.
However, more developmental work is needed on both the acetaldehyde and pro-
pylene mechanisms to account for temperature effects. This is demonstrated
by the dual run performed on 26 December 1977 (see Figures 21 and 76). The
blue side simulation for acetaldehyde shows too many radicals yet the red
side simulation for propylene appears to be well simulated.
ETHYLENE
The ethylene chemistry itself is essentially unchanged from the mecha-
nism reported last year (Whitten et al., 1979). The reaction of the hydroxy-
ethylperoxy radical with ozone was eliminated and the rate constant for the
reaction of the Criegee intermediate with was lowered to 3000 pprrf^min"^.
Both changes are analogous to reactions changed in the propylene mechanism
discussed later. The new inorganic and formaldehyde chemistry is central to
the overall chemistry of experiments involving ethylene. During this past
year, we have simulated 22 experiments from the UNC chamber. Without the UV
data for photolysis constants and without the temperature dependent PNA and
formaldehyde-wal1 reactions, the simulations for this series of UNC were
very poor. However, these modifications have considerably improved the
agreement between observation data and the computer simulations. Table 12
shows the present ethylene mechanism. Tables 13 and 14 present the initial
conditions and results for the 22 experiments while Figures 29 through 50
show the time-dependent results. The most sensitive uncertainties

appear to be the UV data and the initial reactivity. Thus there are clear
days that have low photolysis rates (e.g., 30 June 1978) and clear days that
have high photolysis rates (e.g., 18 October 1978). Then there are days
that have high initial reactivity (e.g., 1 July 1978) and days showing a
low initial reactivity (e.g., 18 October 1977).
For the interim report of last year (Whitten et al., 1979), we had
simulated six ethylene experiments in the UCR chamber. The same six experi-
ments were included this year, but the new chemistry has reversed the
problems we reported previously. Two sets of three experiments were per-
formed; the second set used about twice the concentration of precursors as the
first set, yet similar ozone maxima resulted. Last year the simulations showed
too much ethylene decay in the second set but correct decay in the first set
of experiments. Tables 15 and 16 show the initial conditions and results for
this year while Figures 51 through 56 present the graphical results. Note
that the simulations are now somewhat slow for ethylene decay in the first
set and agree closely with the measurements in the second set.
ETHYLENE/ACETALDEHYDE
This combination of precursors requires essentially the same set of
chemical reactions as a simulation of propylene, except for the numerical
values of the rate constants involving the olefin. The proper choice of
organic concentrations can control the rate of the smog chemistry so that the
two sides of a dual chamber experiment have equal reactivity. Two such dual
chamber experiments comparing propylene with ethylene/acetaldehyde were per-
formed at the UNC chamber; we then simulated these experiments using our
current chemical mechanisms. The initial conditions are provided in Table 17.
The results are given in Table 18 and are illustrated by Figures 57 through
60- (The mechanism used for propylene will be reported in the following seg-
ment.) The results show that PAN chemistry will require further developmental
work. The dual chamber experiment of 25 October 1978 shows that the acetalde-
hyde mechanism simulates too much PAN and, therefore, an additional pathway to
PAN production is probably needed in the propylene mechanism, since the

simulated PAN for the propylene side is too low. Involvement of the methyl -
substituted Criegee intermediate with N0X may be implicated, or at least some
species must be involved that does not exist in the ethylene/acetaldehyde
chemistry.
PROPYLENE
Most of the experiments for which we have smog chamber data have used
propylene either exclusively or in mixtures. Traditional mechanism develop-
ment has, in the recent past, concentrated on this molecule. However, our
own recent experience indicates that reactions in the inorganic, formalde-
hyde, and acetaldehyde parts of the propylene chemistry may require more
thorough validation before significant changes in the chemistry particular to
propylene can be justified. The present report demonstrates the performance
of the current propylene mechanism (Table 19) on 15 experiments in the UCR
chamber and 28 experiments in the UNC chamber. In the course of modeling
these experiments, four changes were made to the propylene mechanism reported
last year (Whitten et al., 1979). However, the main changes in the overall
chemistry used in the simulations were produced by the temperature and water
dependent PNA reactions. The four reactions that were changed are described
in the following subsections.

Previously, this reaction resulted in either radicals or propylene
oxide, in equal proportions. Currently, we have changed the ratio of these
products, adding pro

Another change involves the minor products of propylene oxide and pro-
prionaldehyde. Last year the proprionaldehyde was treated as an isomerization
product of the propylene oxide but the resulting time profiles did not reflect
the data reported from UCR. The present chemistry improves the simulation of
these minor products. The reactions of proprionaldehyde were taken to be the
same as those of acetaldehyde.
HORO^ + O3
The hydroxyl attack on propylene produces two additional products (one
terminal and one internal), which apparently add an oxygen molecule to produce
a peroxy radical with the hydroxyl group still attached (HORO^). In the interim
report (Whitten et al., 1979), we speculated that these special peroxy radicals
might react with ozone much faster than the known reaction of HO^ with ozone.
This reaction reduced the NO-to-NO^ conversions in propylene simulations at
the time when ozone increases rapidly. The need for such a reaction stemmed
from a tendency to generate too much ozone in simulations of propylene but
not in simulations of other species such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and
ethylene. The chemistry associated with peroxynitric acid (PNA), particularly
the present speculative reactions of PNA in wet atmospheres, accomplishes
the same effect even though the reactions have been included in all the
explicit studies reported here. Propylene was singled out previously because
the problem of overprediction was associated primarily with a very rapid rise
in ozone which appeared only in propylene experiments. However, the report
last year did show one instance of a steep ozone rise for some formaldehyde
experiments at very high concentrations (12 ppm). In this case, PNA chemistry
was effective in reducing the ozone in the simulations. Nevertheless, the
speculative reaction of HORO^ with ozone has presently been eliminated from
the propylene chemistry.
Criegee Intermediate + NO2
The original estimates for the rate constants used for these reactions
were based on early measurements of the HC^ reaction with NOg at low pressures.
Current estimates for this reaction are much slower and we have lower rate
123

-------
constants to reflect this. However, study of the present computer simulations
indicates that this reaction is often the major pathway for the Criegee inter-
mediates; we therefore recommend that the products of this reaction and the
rate constant be measured in the near future.
CH30£ + HOg
The rate constant for this reaction was lowered to the value recom-
mended in the 1979 NASA review (DeMore et al., 1979). However, the reaction
is not very important in the present simulations and the recommended rate
constant is merely the geometric mean of the rate constants for the self re-
actions of CHgO^ and HOjj.
Propylene Simulations
The lighting, temperature, and humidity effects on propylene simulations
(like those on ethylene) require further study, but the present chemistry is
a substantial improvement over our first attempts to simulate the experiments
reported here. Tables 20, 21, 22, and 23 provide the initial conditions and
summaries of results for the two sets of simulations. Figures 61 through 102
provide the graphical results.
The simulations of UCR data show a consistant overprediction of ozone
when the propylene decay is closely simulated. Likewise, the NO-to-NO^ con-
versions per propylene molecule reacted seem to be overpredicted, as
demonstrated by the results for EC-256. This experiment had a very low HC/NO^
ratio so that the N0x crossover point, at which NO and N02 become equal, was
barely reached by the end of the six-hour experiment. However, the current
propylene mechanism appears to generate too much ozone in the UCR simulations,
indicating that the efficiency for ozone production should be much lower
than the NO-to-NO^ conversion rate, or that the N0X conversion rate itself
becomes limited when ozone builds up. Unfortunately, the latter effect can
not be tested easily because low N0X concentrations accompany the higher
ozone concentration. Under such conditions, accurate N0^ data are difficult

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.
232

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):
CH3	n	CH3^0-°"
(>" x Q*
+ 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.
0
0
6
°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

,0
c
6^6
+ HCO
1/
6
+ 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.

ADDENDUM
CORRECTIONS TO 1977 and 1978 UNC PAN DATA
Subsequent to submission of this report, corrections to the 1977 and
1978 UNC PAN data were transmitted to SAI, During 1977 and 1978 UNC used
three different PAN calibration procedures. The following corrections
serve to make the 1977 and 1978 PAN data set consistent with the 1979 data
set. These resulted from a comprehensive study of the calibration techniques
that had been used.

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.
