“…40 Ozonolysis of adsorbed 4propyl-guaiacol and catechol on NaCl and α-Al 2 O 3 surfaces has also been shown in the formation of aromatic ring opening products. 41,42 In another study, formation of maleic acid from chlorobenzene on γ-Al 2 O 3 43 and a significant degradation on α-Fe 2 O 3 44 under photochemical conditions were observed. Aromatic compounds such as phenol and benzene have been shown to undergo hydroxylation in the presence of TiO 2 and iron oxides when H 2 O 2 is present as the oxidizing agent, 45,46 whereas phenol in water is shown to undergo selective photooxidation in the presence of TiO 2 .…”

“…Although phenol reactions in the aqueous and gas phases have been well studied, reactions of phenol on mineral surfaces are scarce. The chemistry of other aromatic compounds, including several related compounds, have been previously investigated. − In one study, reactions of guaiacol on Fe-containing clay minerals were shown to contribute to brown carbon formation under varying relative humidity levels. Fe(III) has been shown to oxidize and catalyze the polymerization of guaiacol.…”

Phenol, a common semi-volatile compound associated with different emissions including from plants and biomass burning, as well as anthropogenic emissions and its derivatives, are important components of secondary organic aerosols (SOAs). Gas and aqueous phase reactions of phenol, in the presence of photochemical drivers, are fairly well understood. However, despite observations showing aromatic content within SOA size and mass increases during dust episodes, the heterogeneous reactions of phenol with mineral dusts are poorly understood. In the current study, surface reactions of phenol at the gas/solid interface with different components of mineral dust including SiO 2 , α-Fe 2 O 3 , and TiO 2 have been investigated. Whereas reversible surface adsorption of phenol occurs on SiO 2 surfaces, for both α-Fe 2 O 3 and TiO 2 surfaces, phenol reacts to form a wide range of OH substituted aromatic products. For α-Fe 2 O 3 surfaces that have been nitrated by gas-phase reactions of nitric acid prior to exposure to phenol, unique compounds form on the surface including nitro-phenolic compounds. Moreover, additional surface chemistry was observed when adsorbed nitro-phenolic products were exposed to gas-phase SO 2 as a result of the formation of adsorbed nitrite from nitrate redox chemistry with adsorbed SO 2 . Overall, this study reveals the extensive chemistry as well as the complexity of reactions of prevalent organic compounds leading to the formation of SOA on mineral surfaces.
