On the hygroscopic growth of ammoniated sulfate particles of non-stoichiometric composition
H. Kokkola , J. Joutsensaari , N. Hyppönen , K. E. J. Lehtinen , and A. Laaksonen
The hygroscopic growth of ammoniated sulfate particles was studied by measurements and model calculations for particles with varying ammonium-to-sulfate ratio. In the measurements, the ammonium-to-sulfate ratio was adjusted by using mixtures of ammonium sulfate and ammonium bisulfate in generating the solid particles. The hygroscopic growth was measured using a tandem differential mobility analyzer. The measurements were simulated using a thermodynamical equilibrium model. The calculations indicated that the solid phases in particle with ammonium-to-sulfate ratio between 1.5–2, were ammonium sulfate and letovicite. Both in the calculations and in the experiments the hygroscopic growth was initiated at relative humidities less than the theoretical deliquescence relative humidity of these particles. This indicates that the particles were multi-phase particles including solids and liquids. The equilibrium model yielded a satisfactory prediction of the hygroscopic growth of particles generated from a solution with 1:1 mass ratio between dissolved ammonium sulfate and ammonium bisulfate. However, for particles with 3:1 and 10:1 mass ratios, the model predictions overestimated the growth at relative humidities between about 60% and the point of complete deliquescence (close to 80% RH ). In contrast, a model, in which letovicite was allowed to dissolve only after complete dissolution of ammonium sulfate, reproduced the observations well. This indicates that the dry particles had a letovicite core surrounded by an ammonium sulfate shell.
