SUMMARY:Importance and Application of Chemical Activation in Atmospheric C
 hemistry - Prof Paul Seakins (University of Leeds)
DTSTART:20140224T160000Z

UID:TALK49282@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Amanda Maycock
DESCRIPTION:We generally think of reactions in the lower part of the Earth
 's atmosphere to involve fully thermalized reagents. However\, recent work
  (both experimental and theoretical) in Leeds and elsewhere (e.g. Science 
 2012\, 337\, p1066) have shown that reactions of non-thermalized reagents 
 are relevant and that such chemically activated reagents can be generated 
 from both abstraction and addition reactions. In this talk we will conside
 r examples which influence product distributions in the atmosphere (e.g. O
 H/C2H2/O2) and in field instruments (e.g. influencing HOx measurements) an
 d also consider implications in other environments\, for example oxy-fuel 
 combustion (proposed to facilitate carbon capture and storage).
