The New Oxidation Chemistry of Amines

含氮的有机化合物，包括胺，分布在整个大气中，通过氧化反应被去除。然而，令人惊讶的是，很少有人关注胺的氧化化学。这个问题变得越来越重要，因为发电站碳捕获的主要技术涉及胺溶剂，这可能会导致大量新的胺源进入大气。该项目将发展描述大气中胺氧化所需的新化学，以便更好地预测这些尚未研究的分子对空气质量的影响。

Organic compounds containing nitrogen, including amines, are distributed throughout the atmosphere, where they are removed through oxidation reactions. Surprisingly little attention, however, has been directed towards the oxidation chemistry of amines. This problem is of growing importance as the leading technology for carbon capture from power stations involves amine solvents, which would potentially lead to large new sources of amines to the atmosphere. This project will develop the new chemistry required to describe the oxidation of amines in the atmosphere, in order to better predict the impact of these under-studied molecules on air quality.
