Abstract
Abstract. Liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) in organic aerosol particles can
impact several properties of atmospheric particulate matter, such as cloud
condensation nuclei (CCN) properties, optical properties, and
gas-to-particle partitioning. Yet, our understanding of LLPS in organic
aerosols is far from complete. Here, we report on the LLPS of one-component and
two-component organic particles consisting of α-pinene- and β-caryophyllene-derived ozonolysis products and commercially available
organic compounds of relevance to atmospheric organic particles. In the
experiments involving single-component organic particles, LLPS was observed
in 8 out of 11 particle types studied. LLPS almost always occurred when the
oxygen-to-carbon elemental ratio (O:C) was ≤0.44 but did not occur
when O:C was >0.44. The phase separation occurred by spinodal
decomposition as well as the nucleation and growth mechanism, and when LLPS occurred,
two liquid phases coexisted up to ∼100 % relative humidity
(RH). In the experiments involving two-component organic particles, LLPS was
observed in 23 out of 25 particles types studied. LLPS almost always
occurred when the average was O:C ≤0.67 but never occurred when the
average O:C was >0.67. The phase separation occurred by spinodal
decomposition as well as the nucleation and growth mechanism. When LLPS occurred, two
liquid phases coexisted up to ∼100 % RH. These results
provide further evidence that LLPS is likely a frequent occurrence in
organic aerosol particles in the troposphere, even in the absence of
inorganic salts.
