Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research tried to find out chemical characteristics of sea surface microlayer (SML), which can become sea-salt aerosols in the atmosphere. Total organic carbon concentration and UV-VIS absorbance were about 1.3-fold and twice of the underlying bulk seawater. Then, several methods were tested to detect dicarboxylic acids, in particular oxalate, using a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) while changing conditions, but it became clear that sea salt hindered the detection and additional chemical treatment was necessary. Furthermore, we studied formation of hydroxyl radical (OH) which plays a key role in oxidizing organics and forming oxalate. However, it became clear that formation of OH in SML and seawater were about the same and almost no OH was formed from a reaction between Fe(II) + HOOH, known as Fenton’s reaction.
