Abstract: | Methanesulfonic acid (MSA) has been identified as one of the most important intermediate products of DMS reactions in the
atmosphere. Although considerable amounts of MSA have been found in the marine boundary layer, little is known about the interaction
of gaseous MSA with sea salt particles. To understand the fate of MSA in the atmosphere and its potential importance in atmospheric
chemistry, the heterogeneous reactions of gaseous MSA with micron-scale NaCl and sea salt particles were studied using diffuse
reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The
CH3SO3Na and CH3SO3
− were the major products of the condensed phase of the reaction of gaseous MSA with NaCl and with sea salt particles. The
steady-state uptake coefficient was determined to be (5.94±2.32)×10−7 (1 σ) for the reaction of gaseous MSA with NaCl particles and (2.23±1.25)×10−7 (1 σ) for the reaction of gaseous MSA with sea salt particles. The heterogeneous reaction of MSA with NaCl particles was
found to be first-order for MSA. The reaction mechanisms were discussed.
