PAM Reactor Components

• UV lamps: λ = 185 and 254 nm wavelength• Humidifier, Autovalve, RH/T, Photodiode• Electronics box with ballasts and control board• Control software

Potential Aerosol Mass(PAM) Oxidation FlowReactorA highly oxidizing environment thatsimulates oxidation processes ontimescales of days in the atmospherein minutes in real time.

• Laboratory or fie

l

d st udi es of secondar y aer osolgeneration via gas-phase hydroxyl (OH) radicalor ozone (O3) oxidation of gas-phase precursors.

• Heterogenous oxidation of primary aerosols.

• Compatible with gas and particle massspectrometry techniques.

• Complement to laboratory smog chamber techniques commonly used to generate secondaryorganic aerosol (SOA).

• Based on Penn State flo

w

react or desi gn int roducedby Kang et al. (2007) and further evaluated by Lambeet al. (2011).

• Field deployable.

• Wide range of oxidant exposure times attainable withdimmable UV lamps (primary emission intensity atλ = 254 nm) at high measurement throughput/resolution.

• OH/HO2 and OH/O3 ratios similar to troposphericratios. Amounts of OH, HO2, and O3 are 100 to

10,000 times larger than in the daytime troposphere,simulating days of atmospheric oxidation in minutes.

APPLICATIONS ADVANTAGES

Typical setup for measurements incorporating PAM reactor. Control software facilitates data-logging at 1 Hz and automated control with event sequencing for unattended operation (dashedgrey = analog input/output; dashed red = digital input/output)
