英文摘要	Oxidation flow reactors (OFRs) are a promising complement to environmental chambers for investigating atmospheric oxidation processes and secondary aerosol formation. However, questions have been raised about how representative the chemistry within OFRs is of that in the troposphere. We investigate the fates of organic peroxy radicals (RO2), which play a central role in atmospheric organic chemistry, in OFRs and environmental chambers by chemical kinetic modeling and compare to a variety of ambient conditions to help define a range of atmospherically relevant OFR operating conditions. For most types of RO 2 , their bimolecular fates in OFRs are mainly RO 2 + HO 2 and RO 2 + NO, similar to chambers and atmospheric studies. For substituted primary RO 2 and acyl RO 2 , RO 2 + RO 2 can make a significant contribution to the fate of RO 2 in OFRs, chambers and the atmosphere, but RO 2 + RO 2 in OFRs is in general somewhat less important than in the atmosphere. At high NO, RO 2 + NO dominates RO 2 fate in OFRs, as in the atmosphere. At a high UV lamp setting in OFRs, RO 2 + OH can be a major RO 2 fate and RO 2 isomerization can be negligible for common multifunctional RO 2 , both of which deviate from common atmospheric conditions. In the OFR254 operation mode (for which OH is generated only from the photolysis of added O3), we cannot identify any conditions that can simultaneously avoid significant organic photolysis at 254 nm and lead to RO 2 lifetimes long enough (~10 s) to allow atmospherically relevant RO 2 isomerization. In the OFR185 mode (for which OH is generated from reactions initiated by 185 nm photons), high relative humidity, low UV intensity and low precursor concentrations are recommended for the atmospherically relevant gas-phase chemistry of both stable species and RO 2 . These conditions ensure minor or negligible RO 2 + OH and a relative importance of RO 2 isomerization in RO 2 fate in OFRs within ~ × 2 of that in the atmosphere. Under these conditions, the photochemical age within OFR185 systems can reach a few equivalent days at most, encompassing the typical ages for maximum secondary organic aerosol (SOA) production. A small increase in OFR temperature may allow the relative importance of RO 2 isomerization to approach the ambient values. To study the heterogeneous oxidation of SOA formed under atmospherically relevant OFR conditions, a different UV source with higher intensity is needed after the SOA formation stage, which can be done with another reactor in series. Finally, we recommend evaluating the atmospheric relevance of RO 2 chemistry by always reporting measured and/or estimated OH, HO 2 , NO, NO2 and OH reactivity (or at least precursor composition and concentration) in all chamber and flow reactor experiments. An easy-to-use RO 2 fate estimator program is included with this paper to facilitate the investigation of this topic in future studies. © Author(s) 2019.
