Empirically, nitrate formation observed in smog-chamber experiments
requires a reaction-rate constant for reaction (30) that falls within the
range of 250 ppm^min^to 1250 ppm^min-1, depending on the hydrocarbons
involved. For an intermediate urban mix of hydrocarbons, we recommend a
rate of 500 ppm"*min" . Long chain alkyl radicals tend to react according
to the pathways shown in reactions (29) and (30) more often than do
molecules having lower molecular weight. Insufficient information is
available to set these reaction-rate constants a priori; Carter et al.
(1979) suggested some values for individual peroxy radicals on the basis
of empirical fits to smog-chamber data.
For some hydrocarbons (e.g., 2,3-dimethylbutane) "A" can be as high
as 2. When calculations for butane are based on the detailed reaction
sequence, "A" is approximately 1.3. Calculations based on the ratio of
hydrocarbon consumed to the oxidation of NO in smog-chamber experiments
(Kopczynski, Kuntz, and Bufalini, 1975) yield a value for "A" of 1.5,
which we recommend as the default value for "A". Therefore, the nominal
rate constants for reactions (28), (29), and (30) are 7700, 3800, and 500,
respectively.
AROMATIC OXIDATION
We have devised an explicit mechanism for treating toluene oxidation
(Killus and Whitten, 1981) and have extended our work to include simula-
tion of m-xylene systems. Our studies indicate that aromatic hydrocarbon
oxidation differs from olefin and paraffin oxidation in several important
ways. Our simulation mechanisms show three major differences between
aromatic compounds and a compound such as propylene:
> A high photolysis rate of oxidation products: toluene
oxidation products, for example, photolyze at a rate twice
that which would result from a 100 percent yield of
formaldehyde from toluene decay. This high rate is
apparently caused by a fractional yield of methyl glyoxal,
23
-------
which photolyzes at a rate roughly 15 times that of
formaldehyde.
> A low rate of peroxyl radical production: the ineffi-
ciency of toluene and other aromatic hydrocarbons in
effecting N0-to-N02 conversions has been observed by other
investigators (Kopczynski, Kuntz, and Bufalini, 1975).
Empirically, methyl glyoxal photolysis alone is nearly
sufficient to explain the number of N0-to-N02 conversions
observed in toluene oxidation. Thus, either the other
products of toluene decay are unreactive or there is a
mechanism in toluene oxidation that destroys peroxyl or
otherwise prevents the peroxyl radicals from reacting with
NO.
> After the onset of ozone production, a powerful N0X sink
mechanism occurs that does not appear to consume hydrogen-
containing radicals. This sink probably involves NO3 and
can result in nitrophenols or dinitrate compounds.
The mechanism described herein contains the aforementioned features and is
based on a condensation of our explicit aromatics mechanisms.
RING OPENING
The initial step of the ring opening pathway can be easily treated with
three reactions:
ARO + OH + OPEN , (32)
OPEN + NO + N02 + H02 + DCRB + APRC , (33)
OPEN + 03 ~ H02 + DCRB + APRC . (34)
These reactions are exactly analogous to reactions in our explicit
toluene mechanism. The lumped rate constant of initial OH attack depends on
the mix of hydrocarbons present.
The species DCRB represents photolyzable dicarbonyl species: methyl
glyoxal and biacetyl.
24
-------
The species APRC (aromatic product carbon) represents the remainder of
the aromatic molecule once the dicarbonyl species has been subtracted. In
toluene oxidation this would be either the compound cis-2-butenedial (CBO) or
two glyoxal molecules, depending on the degree of oxidation of the aromatic
molecule prior to ring opening. Since xylene has another methyl group
attached to the ring, the ultimate yield of methyl glyoxal is twice that of
toluene but depends on the xylene isomer.
We treat the secondary products represented by APRC in a simple way:
APRC + DCRB + GLY , (35)
APRC > GLY + GLY . (36)
Thus far we have obtained the best results using a 50/50 split to
pathways (35) and (36) for experiments containing equal amounts of toluene and
xylene.
We have the following oxidation sequence for glyoxal:
(CH0)2 + OH H20 + HCO + CO , (37)
HCO. -~ H02 + CO . (38)
This sequence is similar to that of formaldehyde oxidation except for the
extra yield of 1 molecule of CO. Therefore, we treat the production of
glyoxal in the carbon-bond units as
GLY = CARB + CO
PATHWAYS TO PHENOLIC HYDROCARBONS
In our toluene mechanism there are two pathways to phenolic hydrocar-
bons: (1) addition of OH to the aromatic ring, forming cresols, and (2)
hydration and nitrification of oxybenzoyl radicals. One example of the second
pathway is the terminating reactions of benzaldehyde (BZA) oxidation:
+0?
BZA + OH + peroxyl benzoyl (PBZ02) , (39)
PBZ02 + NO + N02 + oxybenzoyl (PBZO) , (40)
25
-------
+ wdt^r
PBZO + NO^ ~ nitrophenol (NPHN) . (41)
Phenolic hydrocarbons may serve as both radical sinks and N0X sinks in
our reaction scheme. N0X is lost from the system in the form of nitrophenols
and also when N03 is converted to nitric acid:
@r
OH
+ no3 + hno3 + i^ . (42)
Hydrogen abstraction from the paraffinic substituents on the aromatic
ring is treated in the single-bonded carbon portion of the Carbon-Bond
Mechanism. Similarly, the carbonyl portion of benzaldehyde is lumped together
with the carbonyl bonds, and peroxybenzoyl nitrate is lumped with other
PANS. The phenolic pathway of BZA oxidation is lumped with OH addition to the
aromatic ring:
ARO + OH ->• RARO (aromatic radical) , (43)
RARO + NO + N02 + H02 + PHEN . (44)
The lumped species PHEN can then react with OH or N03 to form
nitrophenols:
PHEN + OH PH03 , (45)
PHEN + N03 ~ PHO + HN03 , (46)
PHO + N02 -»• NPHN . (47)
Since nitrophenols have low vapor pressures, it is likely that they also
participate in aerosol formation.
The phenoxy radical can also react with H02:
PHO + H02 ~ PHEN + 02 . (48)
This reaction can be an important radical sink in aromatic systems. We assume
that the reaction rate for this reaction is similar to that of OH + H02
(Baulch et al., 1980).

SECTION 4
USING THE CARBON-BOND MECHANISM
In its current form, the Carbon-Bond Mechanism (CBM-III) treats the
reactions of six types of carbon atoms: (1) single-bonded carbon atoms, whose
principal constituent is paraffinic carbon molecules (hence the abbreviation
PAR), (2) relatively reactive double-bonded carbon (OLE), (3) slow double
bonds, which are almost exclusively ethylene (ETH), (4) reactive aromatic
rings (ARO), (5) carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes and ketones (CARB), and
(6) highly photolytic a-dicarbonyl compounds such as methyl glyoxal and
biacetyl (DCRB). Some other types of carbon atoms can also be treated within
this set. For instance, highly reactive internal double-bonded carbon atoms
were shown by Whitten, Kill us, and Hogo (1980) to be equivalent to two
carbonyls per double bond. Hence three levels of olefin reactivity can be
treated in the CBM (slow as ETH, relatively reactive terminal olefins as OLE,
and highly reactive internal olefins as 2 CARB per bond). Appendix B lists
the CBM fractions recommended for a variety of organics.
The use of the molecular bond rather than the whole molecule as the
principal unit may at first seem confusing to those whose experience is solely
with molecular reactions. However, several major advantages associated with
the bond-group-reaction principle make the conceptual effort involved
worthwhile.
The primary advantage is that the Carbon-Bond Mechanism does not require
the sometimes uncertain calculation of "average molecular weight." The carbon
number of each carbon-bond group is fixed:
27
-------
Carbon Number

PAR
ETH
OLE
ARO
CARB
DCRB
1
2

6
1 (plus 1 oxygen atom)
2 (plus 2 oxygen atoms)
In a lumped molecular mechanism, chemical reactions might be expected to
alter the average molecular weight of each species category. When this
phenomenon occurs, it is impossible to perform mass-balance calculations on
the reactive organic compounds remaining in the model simulation. The Carbon-
Bond Mechanism allows precise hydrocarbon-mass-balance calculations to be
made, thus facilitating the estimation of the importance of phenomena like
long-range smog precursor transport and day-to-day carry-over of pollutants.
Moreover, whereas most lumped molecular mechanisms do not conserve carbon, the
Carbon-Bond Mechanism conserves carbon and follows each hydrocarbon fraction
to its end products (generally CO or C02» but occasionally aerosol or
nonreactive hydrocarbons).
The range of reactivities of carbon bonds is generally less than that of
reactivities of molecules because larger molecules tend to react faster even
if each constituent atom is of similar reactivity. Thus the problem of rate-
constant averaging is reduced in the Carbon-Bond Mechanism.
The carbon-bond concept has an additional advantage over the molecular
concept because it offers a sensible method for dealing with the atmospheric
chemistry of many complex or unusual molecules. For example, the molecule
cinnamaldehyde (C5H5CH=CHCH0) might be treated as 1 ARO, 1 OLE, and 1 CARB
assuming that the double bond is about as reactive as propylene. The double
bond can also be treated as 1 ETH or 2 CARB, depending on the extent of its
reactivity compared with that of propylene. For mechanisms in which the
molecular concept is used, cinnamaldehyde can be described as an aromatic, an
olefin, or an aldehyde. In making a choice among the three possibilities, the
chemistry associated with the other two parts of the molecule is ignored,
whereas the CBM approach offers reasonable chemical pathways for all three
parts. Some surrogate mechanisms use a particular blend of propylene and
butane to provide a reasonable simulation fit to smog-chamber data in which
cinnamaldehyde is used. However, in the absence of smog-chamber data the
surrogate and molecular approaches require arbitrary decisions, whereas the
28
-------
carbon-bond approach provides a simple methodology for handling a large
variety of molecules. The current carbon-bond approach allows some
flexibility to adjust reactivity should smog-chamber data or other information
become available (as in the cinnamaldehyde example).
Another related advantage of the carbon-bond approach over the molecular
or surrogate approaches is optimization for simulating complex mixes rather
than single molecules. The current CBM is designed to be optimized for
simulating urban mixtures of hydrocarbons. If used for single-molecule smog-
chamber experiments, the CBM requires certain adjustments that are usually
straightforward. Molecular or surrogate mechanisms, on the other hand, are
inherently optimized to simulate smog-chamber experiments using only the
specific molecules that form the basis of the mechanisms. Thus, simulating
complex urban mixes with these mechanisms requires adjustments in both the
precursor definitions and the chemistry, and such adjustments are often
complicated.
Finally, the Carbon-Bond Mechanism in its present implementation (CBM-
III) has several features that enable us to recommend it over other available
mechanisms. For example, treating ethylene as a separate species is an
improvement over lumping all olefins together, because the behavior of olefins
varies greatly with changing olefinic composition. The treatment of aromatic
hydrocarbons in CBM-III is more chemically realistic than that in previous
mechanisms. However, a realistic treatment of ethylene and aromatic
hydrocarbons is not inherent in the carbon-bond concept. Molecular mechanisms
can also be designed with similar features; at the present time only the CBM-
III has been so designed.
SPEC IATION OF EMISSIONS AND ATMOSPHERIC CONCENTRATIONS INTO BOND CATEGORIES
Several important principles must be remembered in the application of the
Carbon-Bond Mechanism. First, all carbon must be accounted for. Thus, if one
adds up all of the carbon in each bond category of emissions, the sum should
equal the total carbon emitted. Although this principle appears simple and
obvious, there are practical complications. Emissions of solvents, for
example, are usually given in kilograms of emissions, but methyl alcohol
(H2COH) is a solvent in which most of the weight is represented by the oxygen
atom in the methanol molecule. Another example is the case of automobile
exhaust emissions, which are usually reported in gm/mi. of hydrocarbon as
methane—i.e., each carbon atom measured is assumed to have a molecular weight
of 16 gm/mole. Evaporative emissions, on the other hand, are reported as
straight mass, which means that a lower molecular weight is called for.
Accounting for all carbon is further complicated by the fact that the
procedures used to obtain automobile exhaust hydrocarbon estimates do not
respond efficiently to all reactive species. Aldehydes, for example, are not
often measured by standard procedures and must be added to the exhaust
emissions estimates.
29
-------
THE VOLUMETRIC EQUIVALENCE PRINCIPLE
The second important principle to remember when using the Carbon-Bond
Mechanism is that the volumetric concentrations (in ppm) of most species used
with the CBM are similar to both the volumetric measurements and the molar
concentrations used in other mechanisms. One ppm of aromatic hydrocarbon
bonds in the CBM is usually equivalent to 1 ppm of aromatic hydrocarbons in a
lumped mechanism.
We note two exceptions to the equivalence of speciation between the CBM
and molecular mechanisms. The major exception is the PAR species, which
includes not only the carbon in paraffinic molecules but also single-bonded
carbon in other molecules. A molecule of propylene, for example, contains one
single-bonded carbon in addition to the olefinic bond:

_
In other words, the CBM total reactive hydrocarbon (RHC) given in ppmC must
equal
(OLE x 2) + (ETH x 2) + (ARO x 6) + CARB
SURROGATE CARBONYLS
+ (DCRB x 2) + PAR = RHC (in ppmC)
A minor exception to the rule of equivalent speciation lies in the
relationship of CARB as a reaction product to other species. Some compounds,
especially internal olefins (e.g., trans-2-butene), react much more rapidly
than do terminal olefins like propylene. Thus, instead of creating a new
species with an atmospheric lifetime of only a few minutes, we chose to treat
* This is not true, however, for "surrogate mechanisms" in which all
hydrocarbons are assumed to be represented by some mixture of surrogate
hydrocarbons (e.g., propylene and butane). Comparison of speciation in
the CBM with that in a surrogate mechanism is obviously impossible.
30
-------
internal olefins as if they had already reacted (i.e., as if an internal
olefinic bond were already transformed to two carbonyls).
A similar approximation is used for cycloparaffins. No data exist for
the reactions and reactivity rates of these compounds; however, we believe
that they are more reactive than ordinary paraffinic hydrocarbons. At some
point in the reaction scheme the ring structure must break, yielding two
reactive sites instead of one. We therefore add one CARB group to the CBM
splits for cycloparaffins to account for the extra reactive site.
SAMPLE CARBON-BOND CALCULATIONS
In appendix B we present the name, molecular weight, carbon number, and
carbon-bond groupings for several compounds. This table can be referred to in
the preparation of emission inventories for the Carbon-Bond Mechanism.
To show how the CBM bond groupings can be obtained for a variety of user
objectives, we present several examples of such calculations. The first
example is presented as Table 4.

Example 2
Example 2 calculates the carbon-bond concentrations that would be used
for the ambient hydrocarbon measurements reported by Kopczynski et al.
(1972). Gas chromatographic analysis (GCA) accounted for 90 percent of total
nonmethane hydrocarbons as identified by fiame ionization analysis (FIA).
Table 5(a) gives the carbon fraction allocated to each bond category for each
molecular species as calculated from the bond-splitting information in
appendix B. The calculated molar concentration for each bond group is also
given. Table 5(b) gives the sum of each bond category as well as the carbon
fraction for each bond category for the measured hydrocarbon mix. This
information could be directly input to 0ZIPM, a computer program designed to
generate EKMA-type isopleth diagrams with any kinetic mechanism.
Kopczynski et al. (1972) do not report carbonyl data for aldehydes or
ketones. The response of aldehydes and ketones to FIA and GCA is
inefficient. The carbon fraction shown for the CARB species in table 5(b)
consists exclusively of surrogate carbonyls—compounds such as internal
olefins (which form carbonyls rapidly); precise carbonyl data are lacking.
If the hydrocarbon splits in table 5(b) are used without correction for
probable carbonyl concentrations, underprediction of the reactivity of the
atmospheric mix results. Indeed, Kopczynski, Kuntz, and Bufalini (1975),
prepared a "simulated Los Angeles mix" on the basis of measured concentrations
in the 1972 study. They found that the simulated mix required the consumption

of 2.3 moles of carbon per mole of NO oxidized to N02 in a smog chamber.
Kopczynski et al. (1972) found that samples of Los Angeles air required only
1.4 moles of carbon per mole of NO oxidized to NO2. Kopczynski, Kuntz, and
Bufalini (1975) suggested that other species, such as aldehydes, were
contributing to NO oxidation in Los Angeles.
From these data we can estimate the CARB concentration necessary to
replicate the oxidation reactivity observed by Kopczynski et al. (1972). If
we multiply the molar bond concentrations shown in table 5(b) by the OH
reaction-rate constant for each bond group, we obtain the production rate of
peroxyl radicals (which oxidize NO to NO2) from the measured hydrocarbons per
OH concentration in the air sample:

* The "A factor" of 1.5 gives 1.5 R0£ + 1 H0£ per OH attack
on a paraffinic bond.
The observed rate of peroxyl production was 2.3/1.4 = 1.64 times higher
in the Los Angeles air sample than in the surrogate mix. Compounds
unidentified by GCA for the Los Angeles air sample amounted to 10 percent of
the total. If we make the conservative assumption that the unidentified
compounds had the same reactivity as the identified mix, then the observed
rate becomes 2.07/1.4 = 1.48 times higher than the laboratory mix. This
adjustment for 10 percent unmeasured hydrocarbon raises all the calculated
bond concentrations by 10 percent and increases the peroxyl production rate to
21160. min"* per OH.
Given the observed "reactivity gap" of 0.48, we may estimate the
concentration of carbonyl compounds necessary to account for the additional
oxidation of NO to NO2:
37
-------
21160. x 0.48 _ = Q>36 ppm ^3g0 ppbj
14000 ppm"1 min 1 x 2
which is equal to 9 percent of the observed hydrocarbon concentration and
should be added to the carbon fractions shown in table 5(c).
Example 3
Example 3 also represents ambient sampling in the Los Angeles area
(Calvert, 1976). In this case, however, the measurements are reported in
molar units. To calculate CBM units from molar units, the appropriate bonds-
per-molecule factor (from appendix B) is multiplied by the molar
concentration.
Calvert (1976) stated that roughly 85 percent of total carbon atoms were
detected as individual species. Thus about 0.58 ppmC remain unaccounted for
in the analysis. If this excess carbon is reactive, we must make some
assumption regarding its composition. Normalizing to total RHC (see table
6[b]) is equivalent to assuming that the composition of the unidentified
carbon is similar to the average of that which was identified. This is what
we did in the previous example. Alternatively, if we assume that the
unidentified carbon is all paraffinic, the PAR fraction is then increased to
79 percent, and all other categories are reduced by 25 percent. Overall, the
normalized carbon fractionation of RHC as shown in table 6(b) is the most
conservative approach. However, it is important to bear in mind that only
"surrogate carbonyls" are represented in this speciation. The reactivity
calculations in example 2 indicate that this approach may underestimate the
carbonyl component. We discuss this problem more thoroughly in section 5.
Example 4
Example 4 (Table 7) shows the correspondence between a molecular
mechanism and the CBM as each would be used in the 0ZIPM program. In the
0ZIPM program two sets of numbers are input: the carbon number of each
species and the carbon fraction of emissions represented by that species. In
the case of the Carbon-Bond Mechanism, we also need to know the ethylene
fraction of the olefinic emissions, because the CBM splits out ethylene from
other olefins. This example is taken from a trajectory model study that uses
the RAPS data base for St. Louis (Jeffries, 1981, private communication). For
that study, ethylene was assumed to equal one-half of the olefinic emissions
(internal olefins were ignored). Given that ethylene represents one-half of

0.2895 = (0.193 - 0.14475) x
6 = x
Thus, one-half of the olefinic carbon is ethylene (0.0965 of the
total). Of the six carbon atom olefins remaining, one-third are olefinic
bonds (two carbons per olefinic bond; six carbons per molecule). Thus the
olefinic fraction is 2/6 x 1/2 x 0.193, or 0.032. The other calculations are
straightforward: 6/8.1 of the aromatic molecules are aromatic bonds; the
aldehydes do not change; and the remaining carbon is made up of PAR.
1 ppmC of emissions then equals:
0.032/2 ppm OLE
0.0965/2 ppm ETH
0.105/6 ppm AR0
0.065 ppm CARB
0.70 ppm PAR
We can also estimate olefin composition from the hydrocarbon data given
in examples 2 and 3. From table 8 we see that olefinic carbon is composed of
37 percent ETH, 21 percent OLE, 12 percent internal olefins as CARB, and 30
percent PAR. Similarly, from examples 2 and 3 we estimate that 1.1 percent of
primary paraffinic carbon can be placed in the CARB category because of the
cyclic paraffins that are included.

These data indicate an average carbon number of nearly three, which

Ethylene, however, appears equal to 40 percent, rather than 50 percent, of
olefinic carbon.
If we use both the olefinic-composition factors in table 8 and the cyclic
paraffin carbonyl surrogate for the OZIPM inputs, the CBM carbon splits become
OLE = 0.193 x 0.21 = 0.0405,
ETH = 0.193 x 0.37 = 0.0714,
CARB = 0.065 + (0.193 x 0.12)

SECTION 5
HYDROCARBONS IN URBAN AREAS
In this section we review available data regarding the composition of
hydrocarbons in polluted urban air. The study of ambient hydrocarbon
composition and the related subject of speciation of pollutant emissions is
important to the successful application of kinetic modeling of urban smog.
Any kinetic mechanism is liable to error if the various hydrocarbon
species that it treats are improperly specified. This problem does not
ordinarily arise in smog-chamber studies, because the experimenter has full
control over the introduction of hydrocarbons into the reaction vessel. Nor
does the speciation problem arise in the application of a surrogate mechanism
such as that used in EKMA, where all hydrocarbons are assumed to be
represented by a mixture of propylene and butane. The surrogate approach is
inflexible, however, because it does not allow for the differences that do
exist among hydrocarbon species.
Because a lumped-species mechanism like the Carbon-Bond Mechanism is more
flexible than a surrogate mechanism, there is greater potential for error. An
"assumed hydrocarbon speciation" can be supplied for the CBM to set exact
proportions for the emitted hydrocarbon species, thereby eliminating the
flexibility of the modeling exercise. Instead, we prefer to present
information about the probable composition of hydrocarbons within urban
areas. Such data allow the user to judge whether or not a particular
emissions inventory lies within the limits of variation for hydrocarbon
composition. At the end of this section, we provide a default hydrocarbon
composition profile, which can be used in the absence of data or when the
modeler suspects an error in the speciation data.
HYDROCARBON SPECIATION FOR THE LOS ANGELES AREA
Killus et al. (1980) prepared estimates of hydrocarbon composition for
the Los Angeles area on the basis of the work of Trijonis and Arledge
(1975). It should be noted that these estimates, shown in table 9, were
prepared prior to the adoption of the methodology in which internal olefins
and a fraction of cyclic paraffins are treated as carbonyl emissions. This

-------
"surrogate carbonyl" approximation tends to reduce slightly the olefinic and
paraffinic bond groups and to increase the carbonyl emissions. Internal
olefins represent between 10 and 15 percent of the carbon in olefin molecules,
which is 30 to 40 percent of OLE (as shown in section 4). Additional
surrogate carbonyls represent about 1 percent of the remaining emissions.
Table 9 also shows the principal effect of the "surrogate carbonyl"
approximation--the reduction of olefins to 0.024 of the RHC emissions and the
increase of carbonyls to 0.055 of RHC.
The Los Angeles inventory of volatile organic carbon emissions, as used
in the SAI Airshed Model, is presently undergoing review and modification
(Allen, 1981, private communication). The most recent emissions splits
(obtained by application of correction factors to the summation of the
emissions data file for the Airshed Model) are given in table 10.
Hydrocarbon speciation for the motor-vehicle emissions shown in table 10
is taken from measurements made by Black and High (1980) for an uncontrolled
automobile burning fuel that contains 22 percent aromatics (17 percent in
carbon-bond units). However, the average aromatic content measured by
Mayrsohn and Crabtree (1976) in a sample of Los Angeles gasolines was 37
percent (26 percent in carbon-bond units). Such speciation for gasoline
corresponds well with the measurements made by Kopczynski et al. (1972)
[described in example 2 in section 4] in which the aromatic-bond fraction was
greater than 20 percent. However, Calvert (1976) [example 3 in section 4]
reported hydrocarbon composition estimates in which the aromatic-bond fraction
was only 17 percent. The estimates made by Calvert were derived from typical
data from the LARPP study in Los Angeles. Thus, the range of emissions
estimates for the Los Angeles area is corroborated to some extent by
atmospheric measurements (see table 11).
HYDROCARBON SPECIATION FOR OTHER URBAN AREAS
Table 12 presents data regarding hydrocarbon speciation for several urban
areas (Kopczynski et al., 1975). Table 13 indicates the carbon-bond
composition for these samples, using the carbon-composition factors outlined
in example 4 in section 4. Note that CARB contains "surrogate carbonyl"
only. Actual carbonyl concentrations are likely to be higher than what is
indicated by these data.
Table 14 presents the data from a study performed by Ferman, Eisinger,
and Monson (1977) for the Denver area. The sampling site was 6 km northwest
of downtown Denver, and as the table indicates, the fractions for ethylene,
olefins, and aromatics are all two-thirds of those derived from the Kopczynski
et al. data for a Denver expressway. Surrogate carbonyl for the off-highway
data represents an even smaller fraction (relative to the expressway data)

apparently because of the exclusion of trace compounds like internal
olefins. These data represent the least reactive mix of hydrocarbons in any
data set that we have analyzed. Use of fractions lower than these for
ethylene, olefins, and aromatics is not recommended. Because carbonyl
concentrations are usually unmeasured and conjectural, we present later in the
section some carbonyl emissions estimates.
Table 15 gives hydrocarbon-composition data for sites in the eastern
United States and the carbon-bond fractions calculated from these data. Since
no internal olefins were reported and only a small quantity of cyclic
paraffins was measured, no fraction of surrogate CARB is calculated. Note
also that the fraction of ethylene as carbon in olefin molecules varies from
0.33 to 0.49, with an average of 0.41. This figure is similar to the 0.37
fraction that we have used in the preceding examples.
The data in table 16 are derived from samples taken in September 1973 by
Lonneman and Bufalini (private communication) for the Houston, Texas, area.
The high ethylene fraction calculated for these samples represents the major
discrepancy between them and samples taken from other urban areas. The
ethylene concentrations observed were in some cases three to five times the
acetylene concentration, which indicates a large nonautomotive source of
ethylene in the Houston area. Other data gathered in Houston (Lonneman and
Bufalini, private corranunication; Siddiqi and Worley, 1975) show more common
ethylene fractions, with approximately a one-to-one ratio to acetylene.
CARBONYL COMPOUNDS IN URBAN AIR
In our discussion of hydrocarbon composition thus far, we have not
included carbonyl compounds per se. Because aldehydes and ketones require
special measurement techniques, they are not included in the available
composition data, and only "surrogate carbonyl" can be reported. However, the
photochemical reactivity observed in urban air pollution leads to the
conclusion that significant concentrations of carbonyl compounds do exist in
urban atmospheres, both as primary emissions and as secondary reaction
products.
In the following subsection we discuss the importance of carbonyl
compounds in the formation of smog, and we then examine some estimates of
carbonyls in emissions and ambient air.
RADICAL SOURCES AND HYDROCARBON REACTIVITY
Smog formation results from the catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons by
hydroxyl radicals (OH). The concentration of hydroxyl radicals in the

atmosphere is small (about 10"^ ppm), but because they are rapidly destroyed,
a constant influx of such radicals is necessary to maintain the smog-formation
process. Most of the radicals necessary to generate smog are formed by the
photolysis of oxygenated hydrocarbons--e.g.:
+02
HCHO + hu -4 CO + H02 + H02
followed by
H02 + NO + N02 + OH
Since photolyzable oxygenates are intermediate products of the process of
hydrocarbon oxidation, the smog process is self-perpetuating; however, under
some circumstances, it is not self-starting. If a pure hydrocarbon of
relatively low reactivity were to be irradiated in an atmosphere free of
extraneous sources of radicals, the smog-formation process would never be
initiated. Urban air, however, contains numerous initial radical sources.
Some oxygenated hydrocarbons are formed in the combustion process, and others
are formed when extremely reactive hydrocarbons (like trans-2-butene) are
exposed to a background of trace ozone. This process represents one of the
sources of "surrogate carbonyl" used in the CBM. Inorganic radical sources
are also important in the formation of oxygenated hydrocarbons. Perhaps the
most important source for the troposphere is the photolysis of ozone:
0g + hv -~ Q*D + 02 ,
0*0 + H20 * OH + OH
This process dominates in clean air in which the concentration of hydrocarbons
and nitrogen oxides is low.
In urban or industrial areas where the concentration of nitrogen oxides
and nitrates is high, nitrous acid (HONO) photolysis can play an important
role in smog formation:
HONO + hv ~ H + NO
Nitrous acid, which has been observed in urban air, may be a minor component
of automobile exhaust. It can be formed in liquid water droplets (Schwartz
and White, 1981) or as part of the denitrification process in vegetation
(Anderson et al., 1978).
HONO has been detected in urban air at night near Riverside, California
(Piatt, et al., 1980) at concentrations of 3 percent to 6 percent of ambient
57
-------
N02.* Presumably, HONO is formed in heterogeneous reactions near the emissions
source of N0X, in this case automotive exhaust (the sample path in the
Riverside study included a section of a freeway). HONO has been observed in
direct sampling of auto exhaust under some conditions (Winer, 1981, private
communication).
Although total N0X was not reported in the study of Piatt et al., NO?
concentrations are typically one-third of total N0X in the Los Angeles and San
Gabriel basin area (LAAPCD, 1974, Hayes, private communication). This would
put emissions of HONO in the range of 1 to 2 percent of total N0X. In our
kinetic simulation studies (Whitten et al., 1979; Whitten, Killus, and Hogo,
1980), we have found that one-third of the equilibrium concentration of HONO
(calculated from the concentrations of NO, NO2, and water vapor) is generally
sufficient to explain initiation phenomena in smog-chamber experiments. For a
N02-to-N0x ratio of 0.33 and a water vapor concentration of 15,000 ppm, this
calculated concentration of HONO equals 1.9 percent—excel lent agreement with
the atmospheric measurements.
In modeling urban air, one might wish to include the effects of HONO by
including the species and specifying its emissions as approximately 2 percent
of N0X. However, as mentioned previously, for atmospheric studies the Carbon-
Bond Mechanism is usually implemented without the chemistry of HONO. Except
for the initiation effects discussed earlier, nitrous acid chemistry has a
negligible effect on the calculations.
We have devised a methodology to simulate the effects of HONO emissions
by specifying an emission of DCRB, the highly photolytic dicarbonyl species.
DCRB has a photolysis rate that is nearly as high as that of HONO. Since the
radical yield for DCRB photolysis is twice that of HONO, the emissions rate of
0CRB should be only 1 percent that of N0X, one-half the assumed HONO emissions
rate. Although DCRB emits peroxyl rather than hydroxyl radicals, the peroxyl
radicals are rapidly converted to OH by reaction with NO. The excess NO-to-
N02 conversions produced by this approach amount to only a few percent of
total N0X, and the discrepancy in carbon-mass balance is less than 1 percent.
EMISSIONS OF CARB0NYL COMPOUNDS
In addition to their role in the initiation of the smog process, carbonyl
compounds are also of major importance to smog chemistry, because a
significant fraction of hydrocarbon reactivity results from the oxidation of
carbonyl compounds by the hydroxyl radical. In section 4, when we compared
* The term "reactivity" has acquired a variety of meanings in smog
chemistry. In this context we define it as the oxidative production
of peroxyl radicals, a process which then effects a conversion of NO
to N02»
58
-------
the reactivity rate of an urban air sample with, that of a surrogate laboratory
smog mixture containing pure hydrocarbons, we found the reactivity rate for
the urban air sample to be about 40 percent greater than that of the
surrogate. Furthermore, since carbonyls are a principal reaction product of
hydrocarbons, a significant fraction of the peroxyl radicals formed in the
laboratory hydrocarbon mixture results from the oxidation of carbonyls.
The Carbon-Bond Mechanism is designed to treat explicitly the carbonyl
oxidation products of hydrocarbons. However, primary emissions make up a
significant fraction of carbonyl compounds, and unless the emissions inventory
of such compounds is reasonable, no mechanism, however well designed, will
produce acceptable results. Thus, the modeler must have an understanding of
the range of plausible values for the carbonyl composition of urban volatile
organic compounds.
Dimitriades and Wesson (1972) reviewed available information concerning
the relative levels of aldehydes and hydrocarbons found in automobile
exhaust. In tests performed by the U.S. Bureau of Mines (Sawicki, Stanley,
and Elbert, 1961; Dimitriades and Wesson, 1972), a mole fraction of total
aldehyde per mole of hydrocarbon was calculated to range from 0.06 to 0.09.
Other studies indicated greater variation, with mole fractions of aldehyde
ranging from 0.07 to 0.35 (Oberdorfer, 1967) and from 0.12 to 0.20 (Wadowski
and Weaver, 1970). Dimitriades and Wesson (1972) concluded that total
aldehyde levels in pre-1970 auto exhaust represented about 10 percent of total
hydrocarbon on a molar basis and 5 percent on a carbon basis (the aldehydes
being about 60 percent formaldehyde on a molar basis).
Altshuller and McPherson (1963) measured ambient concentrations of
formaldehyde and acrolein. Acrolein was found to make up 10 percent to 15
percent of the concentration of formaldehyde, thus indicating the probable
importance of carbonyl species other than simple aldehydes. Seizinger and
Dimitriades (1972) identified numerous carbonyl compounds in automobile
exhaust—notably acrolein, acetone, and the aromatic aldehydes. Although
Altshuller and McPherson (1963) did not report aldehydes as a fraction of
reactive hydrocarbon, the formaldehyde concentrations observed (0.01 to 0.115
ppm) were consistent with the 5 percent carbon fraction suggested by
Dimitriades and Wesson (1972).
In an analysis of monitoring data for the Los Angeles area (Scott
Research Laboratories, 1970), Killus et al. (1980) concluded that aldehyde
emissions were similar to olefin emissions when calculated on a molar basis.
If this assumption is made, the data given in this chapter indicate aldehyde
emissions that range from 0.034 to 0.074 as a fraction of emitted reactive
carbon.
59
-------
Data are very sparse for emissions from vehicles having pollution-control
devices. However, in a review of recent data, Bui on, Malko, and Taback (1978)
found no major differences in the formaldehyde emissions from controlled and
uncontrolled vehicles. Reported emission levels were fairly low in these
studies: approximately 2 to 3 percent of total RHC. Note that total aldehyde
emissions would be expected to be higher and total carbonyls higher still.
The preceding analysis provides an outline of plausible carbonyl
emissions in an urban emissions inventory. Formaldehyde emissions alone
account for perhaps 2 to 6 percent of the carbon emitted in automobile
exhaust; however, formaldehyde would account for only 1 to 4 percent of total
emitted reactive carbon, since other emission processes (e.g., evaporation)
seldom emit aldehydes per se.
Adding other aldehydes to formaldehyde increases our estimate of carbonyl
emissions by approximately 50 percent (since formaldehyde represents 60
percent of aldehyde emissions on a molar basis). The addition of other
carbonyl compounds (e.g., acetone, acrolein, and benzaldehyde) increases the
carbonyl emissions rate still further, to perhaps twice that of emitted
formaldehyde. Finally, surrogate carbonyl in the CBM accounts for perhaps 2
percent of emitted carbon.
In the CBM, carbonyl emissions as a fraction of total reactive carbon
emissions would be expected to represent a minimum of 5 percent, which is in
agreement with the assumptions used in other mechanisms (e.g., EKMA). Total
aldehyde emissions could be as high as 7 percent and total carbonyls as high
as 10 percent of reactive carbon (on the basis of reactivity differentials
between urban air and laboratory surrogate mixes) [see example 2, section
4]. With the onset of photochemical smog formation, the carbonyl fraction
increases because of oxidation of reactive hydrocarbons to aldehydes, ketones,
glyoxals, and so forth. This process eventually reaches a photochemical
equilibrium in which carbonyl carbon can represent as much as 25 percent of
reactive carbon.
SUMMARY OF URBAN HYDROCARBON COMPOSITION
In this section we have presented a variety of hydrocarbon-composition
data reported in carbon-bond units. Since the CBM allows for easy inventory
of emissions, ambient data, and modeled concentrations, the ranges of
composition data can be used to ascertain whether a particular modeling study
is employing a realistic hydrocarbon composition. Ranges are presented in
table 17, and a recommended composition is indicated for those studies in
which detailed species data are lacking.

SECTION 6
SUMMARY
The original publication of the Carbon-Bond Mechanism (CBM-1, given in
Whitten, Hogo, and Killus, 1980) introduced the concept of treating the
atmospheric chemistry of complex mixtures of organic molecules as if the
carbon atoms reacted more or less independently according to their local
bonding. Since that introduction, the mechanism has undergone two major
updates, and considerable experience with its use in atmospheric models has
shown that proper use of the mechanism is essential to produce good results.
This report presents the latest version of the Carbon-Bond Mechanism (CBM-III)
in section 1, followed by a guide to using virtually any version of the CBM in
section 2. In section 3, which also concerns the use of the CBM, specific
urban reactivities are illustrated and a recommended set of CBM fractions to
represent urban organics is developed for cases where data are lacking (table
17).
The latest CBM update, given in section 1, is mainly concerned with the
chemistry of aromatics. Dicarbonyl compounds and nitroaromatic compounds have
been shown to play a significant role in the smog chemistry of aromatics.
Reactions have therefore been introduced into CBM-III to account for similar
reactions identified in the detailed or explicit chemistry of aromatics,
especially toluene. The CBM update also includes changes in several rate
constants to reflect recent independent measurements and evaluations.
Finally, some minor changes in handling ketones have been introduced.
Section 2 explains how the CBM shows key advantages over other mechanisms
in actual use. For instance, the averaging of molecular weights is
eliminated; carbon conservation is automatic; reactivity averaging is often
done over a narrow range; molecules with various functional groups can be
handled in a straightforward manner; and the CBM concept tends to work best
for complex mixtures, although adjustments can be made to treat individual
hydrocarbons. Important principles relating to successful applications of the
CBM are also discussed. Some of these principles are the accounting of all
reactive carbon, the volumetric equivalence between CBM units and molecular
concentrations of certain species, and the surrogate nature of the CBM
carbonyl species. Examples of converting specific molecular information into
CBM speciation are then presented.
62
-------
Section 3 has been included to show how proper speciation can be
developed for several urban areas. Although the CBM has been formulated to
respond correctly to changes in reactivities, this sensitivity can lead to
incorrect results if the CBM is improperly utilized. In particular, the CBM
is very sensitive to carbonyl levels. A review of some available data is
presented. Finally, a set of CBM fractions representative of typical urban
reactivity is presented for use in the absence of speciation data. If
speciation data appear to give quite different CBM fractions than this
representative set, then the data should be checked to ensure that the
differences can be explained.

Appendix A
VALIDATION SIMULATIONS FOR CARBON-BOND MECHANISM III
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT RIVERSIDE—SEVEN COMPONENT RUNS
One of the requirements of a kinetic mechanism is that it respond
appropriately to changes in hydrocarbon composition. Three different
hydrocarbon mixtures containing varying amounts of olefins, paraffins, and
aromatics were used in the eleven modeling experiments performed at UCR
(see table A-l). As can be seen from the simulation results shown in
figures A-l through A-ll, CBM-III gives reasonable results for all three
mixtures of hydrocarbons.
Simulations more accurate than those we have presented can be
achieved by adapting CBM-III to the specific hydrocarbons in these
experiments rather than using the default values for various rate
constants. For example, the mixture of butane and 2,3-dimethylbutane in
the paraffin component has an average reaction rate with OH of
approximately 1100 ppm"^min"^, which is lower than the default value of
1300 ppm~lmin~l. Similarly, the default speciation of CARB in CBM-III is
one-half formaldehyde, one-quarter higher aldehydes, and one-quarter
ketones. The actual measured carbonyl compositions in these experiments
varied from these ratios.
The only variable factor for each experiment was the initial
concentration of H0N0 that was assumed to be formed when the chamber was
loaded with N0X. These concentrations are given in table A-l. Initial
H0N0 varies from 0 to 12 ppb. The maximum H0N0 used is 2.5 percent of
N0X, which is similar to the ratios of H0N0 to N02 that have been observed
in the atmosphere (Piatt et al., 1979).

UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA OUTDOOR SMOG-CHAMBER EXPERIMENT
(URBAN MIX; TWO-DAY SIMULATION)
The UNC two-day, urban-mix experiment has been previously simulated
with CBM-I (Whitten, Hogo, and Killus, 1980). The hydrocarbon mix used
contained no aromatics (see table A-2). CBM-III gives results that are
comparable to those of CBM-I for mixtures containing olefins and paraffins
only (see figure A-12).
Rural North Carolina air is used in the UNC chamber experiments.
Background reactivity for the air and chamber is simulated by the
following reactions:
NO2 offgassing from walls: 5 x 10"^ x k^
Background reactivity: OH + MEO2 1000 ppm^min"1
H02 production 1.5 x 10"^ kj
These background reactivity reactions correspond to a hydrocarbon level of
about 0.3 ppmC of reactive hydrocarbon and 0.05 ppm formaldehyde. This
background reactivity is derived from UNC experiments performed with N0X
added but without added hydrocarbons. Both sides of the chamber were
assumed to have an initial condition of 7 ppb H0N0.

15. SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES
16. ABSTRACT
A new generalized kinetic mechanism for photochemical smog, which
incorporates recent information on the atmospheric reactions of aromatic hydro-
carbons, has been developed. The mechanism, labeled the Carbon-Bond Mechanism
III (CBM III), is the third lumped-parameter mechanism to be designed in accordance
with the carbon-bond reaction concept in which carbon atoms with similar bonding
are treated similarly, regardless of the molecules in which they occur. Because (
of the general nature of the CBM III, it can be used to model the entire atmospher
mix of hydrocarbons and is suitable for use in air quality simulation models.
Principal features of CBM III Include a separate reaction scheme for ethylene,
realistic photochemistry for aromatic hydrocarbons and dicarbonyl compounds, and
formation pathways for alkyl nitrates and nltroaromatic compounds. CBM III was
tested by comparing the predictions obtained with the mechanism against smog
chamber data of multi-component hydrocarbon/NO mixtures. In addition to a
discussion of the development and testing of tSe CBM III, information is also
provided on the application of the mechanism for urban air quality modeling.
