Abstract

Accurately predicting the volatilities of molecules in aerosols is challenging but crucial for understanding the atmospheric effects of aerosols. We used negative and positive ion electrospray ionization Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) to identify differences in the molecular compositions of gas and particle phase samples from urban atmosphere. We aimed to identify intrinsic chemical parameters that determine and predict the organic aerosol volatility. We found higher average molecular weights, carbon mass percentages, and double bond equivalents (DBE) but lower average O/C ratios and oxygen mass percentages in the particle phase than the gas phase. We identified DBE, which display a significant negative correlation with volatility, as a key parameter. We proposed to improve the previous model for predicting organic aerosol volatility by incorporating DBE as a new variant; and the result showed that this subsequently improved the accuracy of the model, particularly for compounds with minimal or no heteroatoms (0–2) such as hydrocarbons (CH). The revised model offers insights into the contributions of DBE, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur atoms to the volatilities of diverse organic molecules in aerosols and could be applied to improve our understanding of the phase distributions of volatile organic compounds in the ambient air.

有机气溶胶挥发性的内在化学驱动因素:从实验启示到模型预测
准确预测气溶胶中分子的挥发性具有挑战性,但对于了解气溶胶对大气的影响至关重要。我们使用负离子和正离子电喷雾离子化傅立叶变换离子回旋共振质谱(FT-ICR MS)来确定城市大气中气相和颗粒相样品分子组成的差异。我们的目的是找出决定和预测有机气溶胶挥发性的内在化学参数。我们发现颗粒相的平均分子量、碳质量百分比和双键当量(DBE)均高于气相,但平均 O/C 比和氧质量百分比却低于气相。我们将与挥发性呈显著负相关的 DBE 确定为一个关键参数。我们建议改进以前的有机气溶胶挥发性预测模型,将 DBE 作为一个新的变量;结果表明,这样做提高了模型的准确性,尤其是对于碳氢化合物(CH)等杂原子(0-2)极少或没有的化合物。修订后的模型让我们了解了 DBE、碳原子、氮原子、氧原子和硫原子对气溶胶中各种有机分子挥发性的贡献,可用于改善我们对环境空气中挥发性有机化合物相分布的理解。
