摘要
A series of toluene/NOx photo-oxidation experiments were carried out in a smog chamber, and the effect of ammonia on the optical properties of secondary organic aerosols (SOA) evolved by toluene was investigated. The chamber was made of Teflon. The distribution of SOA particle size, extinction efficiency, and mass spectrometric patterns were measured simultaneously during the experimental process. The variation of SOA parameters was discussed, including extinction section, refractive index, and particle size by changing ammonia volume fraction. Results show that the extinction of SOA was dominated by scattering. With the increase of particle size, the extinction cross section exponentially increases, the refractive index firstly increases and then decreases. Compared with low humidity ammonia free environment, the increase of molar ratios of O to C and refractive index of SOA was found either increasing humidity or with ammonia. Under high humidity with ammonia, there is obvious decrease of particle size, sharp increase of number density of particles, and increase both molar ratios of O to C and N to C.
