3 Early History of Acid Deposition 1200s: Coal combustion produces SOx and NOx 1750s: Industrial Revolution expands use of coal-fired steam engines Early 1800s: Alkali factories producing compounds for soap release hydrochloric acid (HCl), some sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and NOx 1863 Alkali Act in the UK 3
4 ph ph: index of acidity or alkalinity of a solution Negative logarithm of the H+ ion concentration Ex. H2SO4 2H + + SO4 2 Difference of 1.0 in ph equivalent to 10x difference in acidity ph = 7.0: neutral ph < 7.0: acidic ph > 7.0: basic 4
5 Typical ph Values Neutral Vinegar Distilled water Lye Battery acid Cola beverage Natural rain Acid rain Tomato juice Baking soda Ammonia 5
6 Natural SO2 Sulfur Chemistry SOx SO2 SO3,g Dissolve in liquid water SO3,g + H2O,v Combustion (oxidizes C, S, N) Fossil fuel H2SO4,aq (C + S) Sulfuric acid H2SO4,g/p 6

8 Anthropogenic Sulfur Fossil Fuels (C + S) 60% Coal 1 6% S Oil 1 2% S Gas 0.5% S 7% Electricity Industrial Other 33% 8
9 Other Acids NO2 + OH Nitric acid (HNO3) Organic acids Hydrogen chloride (HCl) Anthropogenic: Incineration of PVC plastic Natural: Volcanic emission Methyl chloride (CH3Cl) from ocean 9
