Stratospheric Effects of Rocket Exhaust: Heterogeneous Processes

Abstract

The focus of this project has been the laboratory investigation of chemical processes involving the effects of particles emitted by solid rocket motors (SRMs) on stratospheric ozone. Emphasis has been placed on the efficiency of the catalytic chlorine activation process occurring on the surface of aluminum oxide particles.
