The influences of relative humidity (RH) on the heterogeneous reaction of NO₂ with soot were investigated by a coated wall flow tube reactor at ambient pressure. The initial uptake coefficient (γ ᵢₙᵢₜᵢₐₗ) of NO₂ showed a significant decrease with increasing RH from 7 to 70%. The γ ᵢₙᵢₜᵢₐₗ on “fuel-rich” and “fuel-lean” soot at RH = 7% was (2.59 ± 0.20) × 10⁻⁵ and (5.92 ± 0.34) × 10⁻⁶, respectively, and it decreased to (5.49 ± 0.83) × 10⁻⁶ and (7.16 ± 0.73) × 10⁻⁷ at RH = 70%, respectively. Nevertheless, the HONO yields were almost independent of RH, with average values of (72 ± 3)% for the fuel-rich soot and (60 ± 2)% for the fuel-lean soot. The Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism was used to demonstrate the negative role of RH in the heterogeneous uptake of NO₂ on soot. The species containing nitrogen formed on soot can undergo hydrolysis to produce carboxylic species or alcohols at high RH, accompanied by the release of little gas-phase HONO and NO.
