Kinetic Study of the Temperature Dependence of the OH Initiated Oxidation of Dimethyl Sulphide

摘要

Dimethyl sulphide (CH3SCH3, DMS) is the dominant natural sulphur compound emitted from the world's oceans (Berresheim et al, 1995, Urbanski and Wine, 1999), accounting for about one quarter of global sulphur gas emissions. Oceanic DMS, through its oxidation products, is proposed to play a key role in climate regulation, especially in the remote marine atmosphere (Charlson et al, 1987).
