eng Abstract:
Chemical reactions in aerosol systems play a significant role in formation of new aerosol particles and their growth in the atmosphere and in various areas of nanotechnology. In the case of nanoscale aerosol particle the size effects can sufficiently affect the rate of chemical reactions both inside the particle and on its surface. The size dependence of a chemical reaction occurring on the nanoparticle surface can be related to the size dependence of the intrinsic activation energy for a chemical reaction and the adsorption kinetics of reactant molecules. Here we consider some aspects of the possible influence of the mentioned effects on the reactive uptake coefficient in the Eley-Rideal mechanism of a chemical reaction.
