Bimodal Distribution of Sulfuric Acid Aerosols in the Upper Haze of Venus [PDF]
The upper haze (UH) of Venus is variable on the order of days and it is populated by two particle modes. We use a 1D microphysics and vertical transport model based on the Community Aerosol and Radiation Model for Atmospheres to evaluate whether ...

Electrochemical preparation of peroxodisulfuric acid using boron doped diamond thin film electrodes [PDF]
We have investigated the electrochemical oxidation of sulfuric acid on boron-doped synthetic diamond electrodes (BDD) obtained by HF CVD on p-Si. The results have shown that high current efficiency for sulfuric acid oxidation to peroxodisulfuric acid can

Experimental study of the role of physicochemical surface processing on the IN ability of mineral dust particles [PDF]
During the measurement campaign FROST 2 (FReezing Of duST 2), the Leipzig Aerosol Cloud Interaction Simulator (LACIS) was used to investigate the influence of various surface modifications on the ice nucleating ability of Arizona Test Dust (ATD ...

A comparative molecular dynamics study of sulfuric and methanesulfonic acids [PDF]
The molecular dynamics computer simulation method has been used to study sulfuric and methanesulfonic acids. Calculations have been carried out between 200 K and 400 K using reliable force fields.

Ternary nucleation of H_2SO_4, NH_3 and H_2O [PDF]
A classical theory of the ternary homogeneous nucleation of sulfuric acid—ammonia—water is presented. For NH3 mixing ratios exceeding 1 ppt, the presence of ammonia enhances the binary (sulfuric acid—water) nucleation rate by several orders of magnitude.

Observation of neutral sulfuric acid-amine containing clusters in laboratory and ambient measurements [PDF]
Recent ab initio calculations showed that amines can enhance atmospheric sulfuric acid-water nucleation more effectively than ammonia, and this prediction has been substantiated in laboratory measurements.

Accurate approach in simulating the electronic absorption cross section of small to medium molecules [PDF]
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is the dominant form of atmospheric sulfur in the stratosphere and plays an important role in terms of aerosol formation.The Absorption spectrum of sulfuric acid is simulated.

Direct methane conversion to methanol by ionic liquid-dissolved platinum catalysts [PDF]
Ternary systems of inorganic Pt salts and oxides, ionic liquids and concentrated sulfuric acid are effective at catalyzing the direct, selective oxidation of methane to methanol and appear to be more water tolerant than the Catalytica ...
