Abstract
Abstract. The accurate identification of elemental carbon (EC) sources in aerosol based on radiocarbon (14C) depends on the method of EC isolation. The lack of aerosol EC reference materials with “true” 14C values makes it impossible to evaluate the accuracy of various methods for the analysis of 14C-EC in aerosols. In this study, EC isolation methods were evaluated by using samples of mixed biomass burning, vehicle exhaust, and
coal combustion. The results show that 14C-EC was not only related to
the isolation method but also to the types and proportions of biomass
sources in the sample. The hydropyrolysis (Hypy) method, which can be used
to isolate a highly stable portion of ECHypy and avoid charring, is a more effective and stable approach for the matrix-independent 14C quantification of EC in aerosols. The 13C-ECHypy and non-fossil ECHypy values of Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1649b were −24.9 ‰ and 11 %, respectively.
