Abstract
The report presents data on the reaction between ozone and several sulfur compounds which are air pollutants. The compounds of interest are sulfur dioxide, dimethyl sulfide, methanethiol and dimethyl disulfide. The rate of the reaction between ozone and dissolved sulfur dioxide is strongly pH dependent. This is so because sulfite ion reacts extremely rapidly (second order rate constant four orders of magnitude higher than that of bi-sulfite ion). These results suggest that under some conditions atmospheric oxidation of sulfur dioxide may involve ozone. Dimethyl sulfide was found to react extremely rapidly with ozone in the gas phase but reproducible kinetic data were not obtained. Stoichiometric and yield data from the reaction between ozone and methanethiol or dimethyl disulfide in aqueous solution indicate those reactions to be complex mechanistically, although one product, methane sulfonic acid is predominant.
