Abstract
The HO2 radical yield in the OH initiated oxidation of SO2 has been determined by direct observation of HO2 concentration time profiles following the 248 nm photolysis of H2O2/SO2/O2 mixtures. Initial OH radical concentrations have been deduced from a fit of the absolute HO2 concentration time profiles after 248 nm photolysis of H2O2 in the absence of SO2, an increase in the HO2 concentration upon addition of SO2 to this reaction mixture is observed and can be explained by a decrease of HOx-radical losses due to a faster decay of OH radicals in the presence of SO2. Simulations of theses profiles using recommended rate constants in a simple model are in agreement with an HO2-yield of 1.0 ± 0.1 from the OH initiated oxidation of SO2.
