  • What Are the Reactive Halogen Gases That Destroy Stratospheric Ozone?
    What are the reactive halogen gases that destroy Q7 stratospheric ozone? The chlorine- and bromine-containing gases that enter the stratosphere arise from both human activities and natural processes. When exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, these halogen source gases are converted to more reactive gases that also contain chlorine and bromine. Some reactive gases act as chemical reservoirs which can then be converted into the most reactive gases, namely ClO and BrO. These most reactive gases participate in catalytic reactions that efficiently destroy ozone. Halogen-containing gases present in the stratosphere can be Reactive halogen gases. The chemical conversion of halogen divided into two groups: halogen source gases and reactive hal- source gases, which involves solar ultraviolet radiation and ogen gases (see Figure Q7-1). The source gases, which include other chemical reactions, produces a number of reactive halo- ozone-depleting substances (ODSs), are emitted at Earth’s gen gases.

    Atmospheric Corrosion of Silver Investigated by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christine Elizabeth Lemon, B.S. Graduate Program in Chemistry The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Heather C. Allen, Advisor Prabir K. Dutta Gerald S. Frankel Samuel D. Stout Barbara E. Wyslouzil Copyright by Christine E. Lemon 2012 Abstract Atmospheric corrosion is a costly problem. Accelerated laboratory tests, such as the salt fog chamber, have been created to predict corrosion of materials without the need to expose them over long periods of time outdoors. However, these accelerated tests often do not accurately reproduce the types and rates of corrosion found in field exposures. Silver exhibits this discrepancy and has been used in recent years in an attempt to correct the shortcomings of these accelerated tests. This study identifies Ag 2SO 3 and Ag 2SO 4 on field-exposed silver coupons. The presence of these species on field-exposed silver has been contested in the literature. Evidence suggests that Ag 2SO 3 is an intermediate step in the formation of Ag 2SO 4. Furthermore, the presence of alkali cations, such as Na +, determines the final oxidation + state of the sulfur species on silver. If Na is present, Ag 2SO 4 is the final state, whereas Ag 2SO 3 is not found in the presence of alkali cations. The identification of sulfite and/or sulfate on field-exposed samples suggests the need for further improvement of salt fog tests which do not currently include a sulfur source.
