The heterogeneous reactions ClONO2 + H2O --> HOCl + HNO3 (1), ClONO2 + HCl --> Cl-2 + HNO3 (2), and HOCl + HCl + Cl-2 + H2O (3) on stratospheric aerosols convert ClONO2 and HCl to photo-labile species, producing reactive CI and CIO which are responsible for catalyzing ozone destruction in the lower stratosphere. The extent of the resulting ozone loss mirrors the steep negative temperature dependence of these reactions, which strongly depend on the solubility of ClONO2, HCl, and HOCl, and on the activity of H2O. Predicting the effect of these heterogeneous processes throughout the stratosphere requires detailed modeling of liquid phase solubility, diffusion, and reaction kinetics. A series of recent experiments from a number of laboratories have refined measurements of liquid diffusion coefficients, HCl and HOCl solubilities, and the reactivity of ClONO2 + H2O, ClONO2 + HCl and HCl + HOCl on liquid films, droplets, and aerosols. On the basis of those measurements we present a phenomenological uptake model in which parameterizations of ClONO2, HCl, and HOCl heterogeneous kinetics appropriate for stratospheric H2SO4/H2O aerosols are addressed. In this model we suggest that under high acid concentration conditions both HOCl and ClONO2 are protonated before they react with HCl. Data for all three reactions in concentrated H2SO4 solution indicate an acid-catalyzed reaction channel, which had previously been inferred for ClONO2 hydrolysis. This updated parameterization is most significant at relatively high temperatures above 205 K which produce H2SO4 aerosols of > 60 acid wt%, where the acid-catalyzed reaction channels dominate. The comparisons between our new formulation and other recent formulations are presented.
