  1. Estimation of NH4+/SO42- Molar Ratios Using URM Modeling Outputs - Part 2 Jim Boylan, Talat Odman, Ted Russell April 24, 2001 Georgia Institute of Technology

  2. Outline • Molar Ratio Equation • Model Results for July 11 - 19, 1995 • SO2 and NH3 Emissions • NH4+/SO42- Molar Ratios • SO42- Concentration • Model Results for July 23 - 31, 1991 • SO2 and NH3 Emissions • NH4+/SO42- Molar Ratios • SO42- Concentration Georgia Institute of Technology

  3. Molar Ratio Equation • If we assume or show that the moles of Na+ are small compared to the moles of NH4+, we can estimate the molar ratio of NH4+ to SO42-. • If the moles of Na+ and NH4+ are similar, we can assume that both are in the same sulfate form. Georgia Institute of Technology

  26. Summary • The NH4+/SO42- molar ratios are dependent on the concentrations of aerosol sulfate and gas-phase ammonia, which vary spatially. • Areas with little or no ammonia emissions (e.g. WV) tend to have lower NH4+/SO42- molar ratios. • In general, the July 1991 episode shows lower NH4+/SO42- molar ratios than the July 1995 episode for the same sulfate concentrations. • July 1995: little H2SO4 when [SO42-] < 16 mg/m3 • July 1991: little H2SO4 when [SO42-] < 10 mg/m3 Georgia Institute of Technology
