Area of Science:

  • Atmospheric Chemistry
  • Plasma Chemistry

Context:

  • Carbon disulfide (CS2) is a volatile compound with potential atmospheric relevance.
  • Lightning is a significant atmospheric phenomenon with complex chemical reactions.
  • Understanding the conversion of CS2 to COS is crucial for atmospheric modeling.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the conversion of carbon disulfide (CS2) to carbonyl sulfide (COS) under simulated lightning conditions.
  • To identify key factors influencing the formation of COS during electric discharge.
  • To propose potential mechanisms for CS2 to COS conversion in atmospheric environments.

Summary:

  • Simulated lightning (spark discharge) experiments showed that CS2 reacts with atmospheric O2 and H2O at 1.33 x 10(3) Pa CS2, 10(5) Pa total pressure, and 25°C.
