Abstract:

The chemistry by which the inorganic free radicals ^*OH, HO₂^*, O₂^*-, SO_x^*- (x = 3, 4, 5), NO₃^*, Cl^* and Cl₂^*- lead to the formation of acid rain by the oxidation of sulfur dioxide and organic pollutants in cloud water is discussed in detail. Also considered are the sources of the radicals, their relative reactivities, their interconversion and the origins of the pollutants with which they react.

More about this publication?

Progress in Reaction Kinetics & Mechanism is an international journal for the quarterly publication of both in-depth reviews and research articles.
In-depth reviews are comprehensive accounts bringing together work from many sources with the aim of providing an article of lasting value that will become established as the reference source in the particular subject. Research articles, on the other hand, normally focus on a relatively new or recently developed field or technique giving a state-of-the-art account of the subject and may well refer to a narrower range of existing work. It covers the fields of kinetics and mechanisms of chemical processes in the gas phase and solution of both simple and complex systems.
