Raman Microspectroscopic Analysis of Size-Resolved Atmospheric Aerosol Particle Samples Collected with an ELPI: Soot, Humic-Like Substances, and Inorganic Compounds

Abstract: Raman microspectroscopy and mapping have been applied for the analysis of soot, humic-like substances (HULIS) and inorganic compounds in size resolved samples of air particulate matter collected with an electrical low pressure impactor (ELPI). Using several reference materials, we found that spectral parameters determined by curve fitting with five bands (G, D1-D4) enable a discrimination of soot and HULIS and provide information about the relative abundance and structural order of graphite-like carbon.

“…The O / C molar ratio of other atmospheric TBs varies widely and in some cases compares better with the O / C molar ratio of HULIS. As expected from the above results, the mean carbon to mass conversion factor of our Lab-TBs (1.21; RSD: 0.5 %) is between that of HULIS (1.81-1.93; Krivácsy et al, 2001;Kiss et al, 2002;Salma et al, 2007) and soot samples (1.04-1.15; Akhter et al, 1985;Clague et al, 1999).…”

“…However, when comparing the elemental compositions of our Lab-TBs to that of HULIS, both the O / C (0.094-0.109) and the H / C (0.511-0.584) molar ratios of our Lab-TBs were substantially lower than those reported for HULIS samples (O / C: 0.455-0.563; H / C: 1.431-1.537) (Krivácsy et al, 2001;Kiss et al, 2002;Salma et al, 2007).

“…In the present study this intensity ratio varied from 0.5 for diesel (light) to 1.3 for dual fuel PM samples (Table 5) indicating the more amorphous nature of the carbon in dual fuel PM compared to diesel (high) samples. Ivleva et al (2007) correlated the intensity ratio, I D3 /I G , to the ratio of elemental carbon (EC) to total carbon (TC) present in PM. According to the authors the decrease in the intensity ratio with increasing EC/TC ratio implied a decrease in amorphous organic carbon fraction.…”

“…31 On the other hand, humic-like substances (HULIS) were also found as a major part of the OA in urban fine PM. 32,33 In this study, we investigated the heterogeneous uptake of MA, DMA, and TMA on citric acid and humic acid as representatives of carboxylic acids present in atmospheric PM. γ were measured at 298 K using a Knudsen cell reactor coupled to a quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS).…”
