Atmospheric chemistry and physical fate of HCFCS and HFCS and their degradation products. Interim report, September 1990-September 1992
Technical Report

OSTI ID:7030737
Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the fate of the proposed CFC substitutes HCFC-22, HCFC- 123, HCFC-124, HCFC-141b, HCFC-142b, HFC-125, HFC-134a, and HFC-152a. The program consisted of photochemical oxidation experiments to identify stable oxidation products and measure their yields; deposition studies to measure the extent oxidation products are absorbed into aqueous media; and experiments to determine the fate of hydrolysis products during droplet evaporation. Model results, obtained using laboratory derived lower limits estimates for aqueous deposition velocities and assuming a well mixed atmosphere, suggest the uptakes rates to cloudwater and oceans are sufficiently fast such that significant buildup of gas phase products is unlikely. The laboratory studies suggest that product accumulation in aqueous media could be affected by losses during evaporation. Direct loss by evaporation of halogenated acids and/or production of volatile compounds after further reactions of the dissolved acids could return halogenated compounds to the atmosphere.
