The photochemical conversion of NO2 to HONO on humic acids (HA) in the presence of benzophenone (BP) was investigated using a flow tube reactor coupled to a NOx analyzer at ambient pressure. BP significantly enhanced the reduction of NO2 to HONO on HA under simulated sunlight, as shown by the increase of NO2 uptake coefficient (γ) and HONO yield with the mass ratio of BP to HA. The γ and HONO yield on the mixtures of HA and BP obviously depended on the environmental conditions. Both γ and HONO yield increased with the increase of irradiation intensity and temperature, whereas they decreased with pH. The γ exhibited a negative dependence on the NO2 concentration, which had slight influences on the HONO yield. There were maximum values for the γ and HONO yield at relative humidity (RH) of 22%. Finally, atmospheric implications about the photochemical reaction of NO2 and HA in the presence of photosensitive species were discussed.
