Atmospheric degradation of glycidaldehyde: photolysis and reaction with OH radicals
Article Abstract:
A large volume reactor at 298 K utilizing in situ long-path FT-IR spectroscopy was used to determine the products and kinetics of the atmospheric oxidation, OH radical reaction and photolysis of glycidaldehyde. The test showed that CO, CO2, formic acid, formic acid anhydride, formaldehyde and hydroperoxymethyl formate can be produced by the OH radical initiated photooxidation of glycidaldehyde. A rate coefficient was also uncovered for the reaction of glycidaldehyde with the OH radical with the help of relative kinetic technique.

Atmospheric degradation of glycidaldehyde: photolysis and reaction with OH radicals
Article Abstract:
The degradation of glycidaldehyde present in the atmosphere is investigated. Exposure of glycidaldehyde, which belongs to a class of epoxide aldehydes, to photolysis, atmospheric oxidation and OH radical reaction is conducted, and the products and kinetics of these reactions are determined. The machanism of the OH radical reaction is also investigated.
