Abstract

To quantify the atmospheric reactivity of diisopropyl ether (DIPE), we have conducted a study of the kinetics and mechanism of reaction 1: OH + DIPE → products. Kinetic measurements of reaction 1 were made using both relative (at 295 K) and absolute techniques (over the temperature range 240–440 K). Rate data from both techniques can be represented by the following: k₁ = (2.2_−0.8^+1.4) × 10⁻¹² exp[(445 ± 145)/T] cm³ molecule⁻¹ s⁻¹. At 298 K, k₁ = 9.8 × 10⁻¹² cm³ molecule⁻¹ s⁻¹. The products of the simulated atmospheric oxidation of DIPE were identified using FT-IR spectroscopy; isopropyl acetate and HCHO were the main products. The atmospheric oxidation of DIPE can be represented by i-C₃H₇O-i-C₃H₇ + OH + 2NO → HCHO + i-C₃H₇OC(O)CH₃ + HO₂ + 2NO₂. Our kinetic and mechanistic data were incorporated into a 1-day simulation of atmospheric chemistry to quantify the relative incremental reactivity of DIPE. Results are compared with other oxygenated fuel additives.
