Present work

(1) The rates of O2(a1∆) removal, O atom recom- bination and O3 recovery were measured in the O/O2(a1∆)/O2/O3 system using laser-pulse technique, time-resolved emission/absorption spectroscopy and O+NO chemiluminescent reaction.

(2) New experimental data showing that vibrationally excited ozone is effectively quenched by O2(a1∆) molecule and O atom are reported. The contribution of these quenching channel on the O2(a1∆) and O3 budgets in the middle atmosphere and oxygen-containing plasma is discussed.

Model without O atom regeneration from secondary reactions of O3 does not fit the O atom decay rate. Without O atom regeneration the accepted rate constant must be reduced by a factor of two.

Observations

(1)The degree of O3 recovery depends on gas composition and for O3/O2/Ar mixtures (the lower curves it amounts to about 70 %). The standard pure oxygen kinetics (POK) predicts that it must be restored to its initial value (100 %) at our experimental conditions. Odd oxygen is removed in the processO + O3(v) – O2 + O2(2) The O3 recovery time depends also on gas

composition and for O3/O2/Ar mixtures and for the lower curves it is about 50 sec against 13 sec predicted by POK. Oxygen atoms regenerate in the process O2(1) + O3(v) – O + O2 + O2 (3) Ar quenches O3(v) worse than CO2 or O2. Replacement of Ar by CO2 or O2 results in increasing both the degree and the rate of O3 recovery.

Conclusions

1. O3(v) is a significant quenching agent of O2(a1) in the O/O2/O3 systems.

2. Odd oxygen is effectively removed in the process O + O3(v) O2 + O2.

3. Processes involving active oxygen species effect significantly on the balance of O2(a1) and O3

at the atmospheric altitudes 80 - 105 km.

4. Processes involving excited oxygen species may make large systematic errors in the measurements of rate constants in the O/O2/O3 systems.
