Nitryl chloride (ClNO2), an important precursor of Cl atoms, significantly affects atmospheric oxidation capacity and O3 formation. However, sources of ClNO2 in inland China have not been fully elucidated. In this work, laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate heterogeneous reactions of N2O5 with eight saline mineral dust samples collected from different regions in China, and substantial formation of ClNO2 was observed in these reactions. ClNO2 yields, φ(ClNO2), showed large variations (ranging from to ∼0.77) for different saline mineral dust samples, depending on mass fractions of particulate chloride. In addition, φ(ClNO2) could increase, decrease or show insignificant change for different saline mineral dust samples when relative humidity (RH) increased from 18 % to 75 %. We further found that current parameterizations significantly overestimated φ(ClNO2) for heterogeneous uptake of N2O5 onto saline mineral dust. In addition, assuming a uniform φ(ClNO2) value of 0.10 for N2O5 uptake onto mineral dust, we used a 3-D chemical transport model to assess the impact of this reaction on tropospheric ClNO2 in China and found that weekly mean nighttime maximum ClNO2 mixing ratios could have been increased by up to 85 pptv during a severe dust event in May 2017. Overall, our work showed that heterogeneous reaction of N2O5 with saline mineral dust could be an important source of tropospheric ClNO2 in inland China. |
