Abstract. A study of the atmospheric heterogeneous reactions of formic acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid on dust particles (α-Al2O3) was performed at ambient condition by using a diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) reactor. From the analysis of the spectral features, observations of carboxylates formation provide strong evidence for an efficient reactive uptake process. Comparison of the calculated and experimental vibrational frequencies of adsorbed carboxylates establishes the bridging coordinated structures on the surface. The uptake coefficients of formic acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid on α-Al2O3 particles are (2.07±0.26)×10−3, (5.00±0.69)×10−3, and (3.04±0.63)×10−3, respectively (using geometric area). Besides, the effect of various relative humid (RH) on this heterogeneous reactions was studied. The uptake coefficients of monocarboxylic acids on α-Al2O3 particles increase initially (RH<20%) and then decrease with the increased RH (RH>20%) which was due to the effect of water on carboxylic acids solvation, particles surface hydroxylation, and competition on reactive site. On the basis of the results of experimental simulation, the mechanism of heterogeneous reaction of dust with carboxylic acids at ambient condition was discussed. The loss of atmospheric monocarboxylic acids due to reactive uptake on available mineral dust particles can be competitive with homogeneous loss pathways, especially in dusty urban and desertified environments.

Abstract. We present a detailed budget of formic and acetic acids, two of the most abundant trace gases in the atmosphere. Our bottom-up estimate of the global source of formic and acetic acids are ~1200 and ~1400 Gmol/yr, dominated by photochemical oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds, in particular isoprene. Their sinks are dominated by wet and dry deposition. We use the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model to evaluate this budget against an extensive suite of measurements from ground, ship and satellite-based Fourier transform spectrometers, as well as from several aircraft campaigns over North America. The model captures the seasonality of formic and acetic acids well but generally underestimates their concentration, particularly in the Northern midlatitudes. We infer that the source of both carboxylic acids may be up to 50% greater than our estimate and report evidence for a long-lived missing secondary source of carboxylic acids that may be associated with the aging of organic aerosols. Vertical profiles of formic acid in the upper troposphere support a negative temperature dependence of the reaction between formic acid and the hydroxyl radical as suggested by several theoretical studies.

Wood pulverised using a ball mill was dissolved in an α-keto acid, pyruvic acid, and two aldehydic carboxylic acids, namely glyoxylic acid and formic acid, at room temperature.

A conductometric method is described and applied for the determination of the Soret coefficient of normal carboxylic acids in aqueous solutions in order to check a new model described in our previous papers. The Soret cell originally developed by Agar and Turner was applied with only minor modifications. The results show that the deviations between the measured and calculated Soret coefficients are lower than 2.5% except for formic acid (33% in average).

The inhibitory effects of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids (formic, acetic, propionic, butyric, benzoic, and salicylic acids) on catalase at pH 7.0 were studied by measuring the catalatic activity as a function of reagent concentration, and the results were correlated with the data obtained simultaneously by spectroscopic and ultracentrifugal analyses. The inhibition by salicylic and benzoic acids proceeds in two steps. In the first step, the activity drops to a certain level, and the sedimentation peak of the native catalase is unaltered. The second step of inhibition is accompanied by the dissociation of the catalase molecule into subunits, and the absorption spectrum is changed greatly. The inhibition by the aliphatic carboxylic acids except formic acid proceeds also in two steps in which the second step of inhibition is accompanied by the association of the catalase molecules. The inhibition by formic acid obeys the mechanism of the combination between heme and the free acid rather than its anion. These different types of inhibitions at neutral pH are discussed in relation to the data obtained previously at acidic pH's.
