HOMOGENEOUS CHEMISTRY [4 records]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Air Pollution
  • Climatology
CONT

Recent advances in atmospheric chemistry demonstrate that aerosol surfaces play a very important role in their chemistry. In particular, organic aerosol is aged and processed through photochemical and radical oxidation reactions. These reactions likely affect each aerosol particle uniquely, resulting in a patchwork of molecules and chemical functionalities even on originally homogeneous aerosol. The end result of these reactions is likely a surface with mixed hydrophilic and hydrophobic character.

  • Chemistry

CONT

A team ran a series of computer simulations of stratospheric chemistry using standard homogeneous reactions, and found very little impact of trace gases produced by human activities. But when they adjusted the model to take account of non-standard chemistry, it responded by indicating a 16 percent drop in ozone concentrations by the year 2060.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chimie
  • Biotechnologie
DEF

Réaction chimique qui a lieu dans un système à une seule phase.

OBS

La chimie traditionnelle ne s'occupe presque exclusivement que des réactions chimiques homogènes (chimie homogène).

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
  • Air Pollution
  • Chemistry
CONT

Heterogeneous chemistry is, it seems, the key to understanding the preconditioning of the Antarctic stratosphere during the polar winter. Virtually all calculations of ozone depletion at other latitudes have so far used only homogeneous chemistry, assuming all the chemicals involved were present as gases.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Éléments et composés chimiques
  • Pollution de l'air
  • Chimie
DEF

Ensemble des réactions chimiques formées dans des systèmes à plusieurs phases ainsi que les processus et les propriétés qui se rattachent à ces réactions.

OBS

La chimie traditionnelle est la chimie homogène; on possède peu de connaissances, surtout en ce qui a trait à la cinétique, en chimie hétérogène.

OBS

La chimie classique s'est surtout intéressée à la chimie homogène. Plusieurs des réactions relatives à l'ozone relèvent cependant de la chimie hétérogène.
