AbstractThe deposition kinetics of InP in MOCVD reactors is presented. The proposed chemical mechanism involves both gas phase and surface reactions. The fundamental hypothesis adopted in deriving the mechanism was a dual site dissociative adsorption of the precursors on the growing surface. In any case, all the rate constants either were taken from the literature or estimated through thermochemical methods. In addition, the deposition reactor was simulated by means of a monodimensional model that accounts for the main reactor features through the boundary layer theory.

Abstract. This paper describes a modelling study of several HOx and NOx species (OH, HO2, organic peroxy radicals, NO3 and N2O5) in the marine boundary layer. A model based upon the Master Chemical Mechanism (MCM) was constrained to observations of chemical and physical parameters made onboard the NOAA ship R/V Brown as part of the New England Air Quality Study (NEAQS) in the summer of 2004. The model was used to calculate [OH] and to determine the composition of the peroxy radical pool. Modelled [NO3] and [N2O5] were compared to in-situ measurements by Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy. The comparison showed that the model generally overestimated the measurements by 30–50%, on average. The model results were analyzed with respect to several chemical and physical parameters, including uptake of NO3 and N2O5 on fog droplets and on aerosol, dry deposition of NO3 and N2O5, gas-phase hydrolysis of N2O5 and reactions of NO3 with NMHCs and peroxy radicals. The results suggest that fog, when present, is an important sink for N2O5 via rapid heterogeneous uptake. The comparison between the model and the measurements were consistent with values of the heterogeneous uptake coefficient of N2O5 (γN2O5)>1×10−2, independent of aerosol composition in this marine environment. The analysis of the different loss processes of the nitrate radical showed the important role of the organic peroxy radicals, which accounted for a significant fraction (median: 15%) of NO3 gas-phase removal, particularly in the presence of high concentrations of dimethyl sulphide (DMS).

Abstract. A 1-D marine stratocumulus cloud model has been supplemented with a comprehensive and up-to-date aqueous phase chemical mechanism for the purpose of assessing the impact that the presence of clouds and aerosols has on gas phase HOx, NOx and O3 budgets in the marine boundary layer. The simulations presented here indicate that cloud may act as a heterogeneous source of HONOg via the conversion of HNO4(g) at moderate pH (~4.5). The photolysis of nitrate (NO3-) has also been found to contribute to this simulated increase in HONOg by ~5% and also acts as a minor source of NO2(g). The effect of introducing deliquescent aerosol on the simulated increase of HONOg is negligible. The most important consequences of this elevation in HONOg are that, in the presence of cloud, gas phase concentrations of NOx species increase by a factor of 2, which minimises the simulated decrease in O3(g), and results in a regeneration of OHg. This partly compensates for the removal of OHg by direct phase transfer into the cloud and has important implications regarding the oxidising capacity of the marine boundary layer. The findings presented here also suggest that previous modelling studies, which neglect the heterogeneous HNO4(g) reaction cycle, may have over-estimated the role of clouds as a sink for OHg and O3(g)in unpolluted oceanic regions, by ~10% and ~2%, respectively.

The simulations presented here indicate that cloud may act as a heterogeneous source of HONOg.

The paper presents the problem of condensed material surface burning in a flow of oxidant within the framework of the assumptions of the laminar boundary-layer theory. It is used assumption of fuel gasification and gas phase chemical reacting in a diffusion flame. The regression rate of the material surface in the turbulent and laminar flow regimes is studied. The zones correspond to kinetic and diffusion regime is defined.

The production of synthesis gas with a low H2/CO ratio from natural gas requires recycling the produced CO2, but this enhances the risk of carbon formation. A simulation model for steam/CO2 reformers comprising detailed kinetics of the main reactions but also of the carbon formation and gasification was used to evaluate the potential of carbon formation in the bulk gas phase and inside the catalyst particles along the reactor tube. Simulation results are presented for a number of cases with varying amounts of CO2 in the feed. The model permits an accurate determination of the minimum amount of steam or the maximum amount of CO2 that can be tolerated in the feed. Thermodynamic and kinetic criteria are compared, and a strategy for the evaluation of the risk of carbon formation is proposed. The importance of the activity level of the catalyst and of its alkalinity is also illustrated.
