Abstract

A combination of flow reactor studies and chamber modeling is used to constrain two uncertain parameters central to the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from isoprene-derived epoxides: (1) the rate of heterogeneous uptake of epoxide to the particle phase and (2) the molar fraction of epoxide reactively taken up that contributes to SOA, the SOA yield (φ_SOA). Flow reactor measurements of the trans-β-isoprene epoxydiol (trans-β-IEPOX) and methacrylic acid epoxide (MAE) aerosol reaction probability (γ) were performed on atomized aerosols with compositions similar to those used in chamber studies. Observed γ ranges for trans-β-IEPOX and MAE were 6.5 × 10^-4-0.021 and 4.9-5.2 × 10^-4, respectively. Through the use of a time-dependent chemical box model initialized with chamber conditions and γ measurements, φ_SOA values for trans-β-IEPOX and MAE on different aerosol compositions were estimated between 0.03-0.21 and 0.07-0.25, respectively, with the MAE φ_SOA showing more uncertainty.
