Abstract:
As an important component of atmospheric particulate matter, aerosols have an important impact on the atmospheric environment and human health. The hygroscopicity of aerosols has been widely researched as an important factor for its survival time and physicochemical properties in the atmosphere. At present, the researches on the hygroscopicity of aerosols is relatively simple, and the influence of the microstructure of aerosols on the hygroscopicity is less. Based on Langmuir adsorption model and Fick's diffusion law, a single particle gas-particle interaction model was established. The uniform distribution structure of aerosol particles (H2O/C2H2O4) and the non-uniform distribution structure (H2O/C2H2O4/H2SO4) were analyzed. The results show that the non-uniform distribution structure of aerosols affects the speed of the water uptake process. For aerosol molecules composed of ideal fluids, there is no intermolecular interaction between molecules, so the water-particle exchange between gas and particles is faster, and the concentration of the outer layers firstly increases, and then the inner layers gradually diffuse outward until equilibrium is reached for the difference of layer concentration. Comparing with the large particles in the same volume ratio the water in small particles is more difficult to run off because of the larger contact angle and surface tension. In addition, the surface area of the large particles is small, and the rate of water loss is low. It needs more time to reach the balance. © 2020, Science Press. All right reserved.
