Study on hygroscopic properties of atmospheric aerosols using κ-Köhler theory
-Köhler theory was used to study the hygroscopic properties of atmospheric aerosol systems in Xi an and Beijing. The aerosol model was established by choosing several typical inorganic (sulfate
nitrate
chloride) and organic components (cycloene
aromatic hydrocarbon
carboxylic acid) to mimic to the real complex atmospheric composition. The results show that
when air quality changes from clean state to polluted state
the content of organic components gradually decreases whereas the concentration of (NH
4
)
2
SO
4
and NH
4
NO
3
gradually increases in both systems. This trend always promotes the overall hygroscopicity of the aerosol systems
which in turn enhances the adsorption of moisture and thus the formation of haze. The influence of different components on the hygroscopicity of the whole system was also quantitatively predicted. The trend of variation was revealed by the theory and the theoretical prediction was in a good agreement with that observed in practice.
