Possible astrophysical implications, especially by means of the optical constants reported here, have been discussed. The results of the New Horizons mission recently published by Gladstone et al. New Horizons data reveal also the presence of old terrains with craters and processed ices, in contrast with other younger surfaces with relatively high albedo, characteristic of non-processed ices. An indirect proof of this segregation could be the atmospheric composition. One of the most plausible explanations for the presence of C 2 H x in the atmosphere is that these molecules are formed by processing of a methane rich region on the surface.

In order to obtain C 2 H x , methane ice should be segregated from the other volatiles, as otherwise the products of irradiation would bear nitrogen or oxygen in their composition. The formation of C 2 H x hydrocarbons from irradiation of CH 4 ices is widely demonstrated in the laboratory de Vries et al. All of this evidence suggests that studies of mixtures of CH 4 and C 2 H 4 , as those provided in this article, may be helpful for the comprehension of chemical composition and evolution of the ice surfaces of Pluto, but also of other outer Solar system bodies.

In the laboratory, methane ice has been thoroughly studied both pure and mixed with other gases Hudgins et al. It is known that at 30 K it presents a rotationally disordered crystalline phase, and by deposition at 20 K or below a more ordered crystalline structure is formed. The literature about ethylene ice is not so large. A crystalline phase was grown by these authors at 60 K, while by fast deposition at 20 K they found a different crystalline phase that was named metastable.

In this latter work a careful revision of the spectroscopic data about ethylene ice available in the literature was conducted. Recently, some experiments of energetic processing of C 2 H 4 diluted in N 2 ice have been reported Chen et al. However, to the best of our knowledge, no results involving spectroscopic and physical properties of CH 4 :C 2 H 4 ice mixtures are available.

The temperature of the experiments has been chosen as a compromise between the certainty of no sublimation of methane in our experimental setups, and the relevance in an astronomical context. Since the planetary bodies for which our study can be relevant have a surface temperature ranging from 30 K of Makemake and Eris to around 40 K of Pluto, and since methane ice has a sublimation temperature of around 40 K in our experimental conditions, the experiments were performed at 30 K.

Our work is organized along three lines: first, the measurement of densities and visible refractive indices of C 2 H 4 and CH 4 :C 2 H 4 ice mixtures; then, a study of spectra, band positions, band shifts with respect to the pure species , and infrared band strengths of these ice mixtures at 30 K; finally, the optical constants in the near-infrared NIR and mid-infrared MIR regions. We describe also the experimental setups used in this work, and, at the end, we discuss some astrophysical implications and enumerate the conclusions.

This work has been carried out in two different laboratories, one devoted to measurements of density and visible refractive index, and the other to IR spectroscopy of ices. They have been described elsewhere Satorre et al. The first laboratory is located in Alcoy. It consists of a high vacuum chamber provided with a quartz crystal microbalance in thermal contact with the cold head of a closed cycle helium cryostat. The microbalance measures the mass deposited on its sensible surface per square centimeter.

In addition, a double interferometric He—Ne laser technique is used to measure the visible refractive index, n 0 , of the ice deposited on the microbalance and its thickness. Knowing the layer thickness and mass, the density of the ice is determined.

Background deposition, backfilling the whole chamber with the gas of interest, is used in these experiments to ensure the formation of a uniform ice layer and an accurate measurement of the density. The film is formed at a constant rate of deposition by maintaining a constant pressure of the gases in a prechamber, and using a needle valve to connect it with the high vacuum chamber. Gases used in these experiments are CH 4 Most of the experiments are carried out at 2.

Film thickness ranges from 1 to 2 microns. This technique is applied to ices of pure species and mixtures. Gases CH 4 The gases condense on an IR transparent Si substrate 1 mm thick that is in close contact with the cold finger of the cryostat, forming two ice layers of equal thickness on each side of the substrate.

The gas inlet flange is situated in the vacuum chamber 10 cm below the end of the cold finger of the cryostat and directed to the chamber walls, to ensure that gas molecules fill the chamber with a homogeneous pressure and do not reach the cold substrate directly, but are rather deposited from the background gas forming a homogeneous ice layer.

Deposition rates vary between 1. Special attention was paid to avoid saturation of the strong absorption bands in the MIR spectra. These magnitudes were already measured in our group for pure CH 4 ice Satorre et al. For the present study we have re-measured the density and obtained 0. The newly determined refractive index also agrees with previously published results. As far as we know, densities of pure ethylene and methane:etylene ices at 30 K had never been reported. Since growing conditions are known to affect the morphology of the ice sample, different accretion rates were tested, both for CH 4 and C 2 H 4 , varying between 0.

The results for the different rates were found to diverge by less than 3 per cent, which is the estimated experimental error. The experimental error estimated for these magnitudes is 3 per cent. The pure species have fairly different refractive indices, 1.

The mixtures present an averaged value, 1. Hudson et al. The value obtained in this work agrees with that of the crystalline phase, and is about 6 per cent higher than that of the metastable phase. Experimental errors and effects due to the different morphologies could explain this discrepancy see below. As for the visible refractive indices of the mixtures, to our knowledge they are reported here for the first time.

The refractive indices obtained are used for film thickness determination, and as input parameters in the calculations of the optical constants. We have measured 0. Those authors conducted X-ray diffraction experiments on monocrystals of ethylene at 85 K, determined the crystal structure of the solid, and derived its density, 0.

Our value of 0. The discrepancy suggests that our ice, if crystalline, is in a different arrangement from that of the crystalline solid grown by van Nes and coworkers, or that it could have some degree of porosity.

At this point, it is important to highlight that the physical conditions of our experiments are closer to astrophysical environments and hence the densities obtained are probably more adequate to simulate astrophysical ices. A similar discrepancy was observed between the density of the low temperature vapour deposited C 2 H 6 ice Molpeceres et al. The mixtures have densities between those of the pure species.

Methane ice grown at 30 K at the deposition rates considered in this work, is in a crystalline polycrystalline form. When codeposited with ethylene probably its ordered structure will be destroyed and the resulting structure has larger density.

However, in this set of experiments, we have observed that once the fraction of ethylene molecules reach 50 per cent mixture , the density remains almost constant for increasing fractions of ethylene. Intermolecular interactions within the solid must play a key role to explain these data. The polarizable methane molecules interact with ethylene molecules via dipole-induced forces. These interactions are affected by the mixing ratio and ultimately are responsible for the different packings and the final density.

The densities given in this section are fundamental magnitudes to understand morphological changes in the ice samples. Moreover, they are crucial for a good estimation of the IR band strengths of the ices that will be presented later in this paper. The spectrum of pure ethylene ice can be compared with that of Hudson et al. These authors prepared different phases of ethylene by modifying the growth conditions, namely deposition rate and temperature.

The three spectra, all recorded at 30 K, are represented in Fig. On the other hand, the ice grown at 30 K in this work looks similar to the amorphous form in this lower frequency range. Comparison of IR pure ethylene spectrum obtained in this work with previous literature spectra by Hudson et al.

The literature spectra correspond to ices 0. By inspecting Fig. These modifications consist of frequency shifts, band broadening, and in some cases changes in band profile. Similar band broadening with dilution are observed for other bands. This behaviour can be interpreted as if the amorphous character of each particular species increases with its dilution in the mixture, a fact that is corroborated by the appearance of a very weak, not appreciable in Fig. IR spectra of pure CH 4 , green, thin line , pure C 2 H 4 , blue, dashed line and a 50 per cent number molecule mixture red, thick line ices deposited at 30 K.

Ice thickness is 6. Files of the spectra presented in the figure are given in the supplementary material. IR spectra of CH 4 : C 2 H 4 ice mixtures at 30 K with different composition ratio , green, thin line, , red, thick line, and blue, dashed line. We have quantified the frequency shifts of methane or ethylene bands in the mixtures investigated. It can be seen that methane bands shift to lower frequency when diluted in ethylene top panel while ethylene bands shift to higher frequency when diluted in methane lower panel.

Band shifts of methane in ice mixtures were addressed in the bibliography in mixtures with nitrogen or water Hudgins et al. Therefore, it can be said that non-polar or low-polar environments tend to displace methane vibrations to lower wavenumbers and ethylene vibrational frequencies to higher values.

Concerning the evolution of the band shifts with mixture ratio, the behaviour is also different for the two species. The more diluted the methane, the larger the shift. For ethylene, the higher shifts occur at high ethane concentration and then the shift decreases with increasing dilution. Methane upper panel and ethylene bottom panel band shifts for several NIR absorptions in binary mixtures.

Files with all the band shifts measured in this work are provided in the supplementary material. Densities have been taken from Table 1. They have to be converted to molecular densities for each particular component in the mixtures, in order to include them in equation 1 or 2. The conversion was made from the molecular weights and mixing ratios of each component, with the results shown in Table 2.

Band strengths thus calculated are presented in Tables 3 and 4 for CH 4 and C 2 H 4 ices, respectively. The long dashes in Tables 3 and 4 correspond to blended absorptions for which it was not possible to separate methane and ethylene contributions, and no integration was performed.

Our estimated experimental uncertainty is of the same order. The experimental error arises mainly from the integration process, where choices for baseline and band limits are particularly complicated in these mixtures where the bands of CH 4 and C 2 H 4 appear very close and sometimes even overlap.

Other sources of error lie in the determination of ice thickness, estimated to be less than 5 per cent, and stoichiometry, also estimated to be well below 5 per cent, owing to the good reproducibility and stability provided by the mass flow controllers. Inspecting Table 3 it is possible to recognize a general intensity trend for the methane bands with dilution.

In general terms, a weakening is observed with increasing dilution. An opposite behaviour has also been observed when the dilution of methane is much higher, up to , in a wide variety of molecules such as CO, CO 2 , N 2 Hudgins et al. All these studies indicate that the band strengths of methane vibrations in the ice are strongly dependent on the kind of intermolecular interactions between methane and its counterpart, but also on the degree of dilution. In this way, both factors must be taken into account in order to extract any conclusion.

The ethylene band strengths, much less studied than those of methane, do not show a preferential trend see Table 4. Each band behaves differently. In general, we are not able to predict the trend of a certain vibration with respect to dilution, due to the complexity of the interactions in the mixture. Other interesting magnitudes determined in this work are the IR optical constants for pure ethylene ice and for the three mixtures investigated. To derive these magnitudes a set of IR spectra for each particular ice has been obtained as a function of thickness.

The procedure to calculate the optical constants varies depending on the spectral region considered, as described in previous works Zanchet et al. An iterative method is implemented in the MIR with an algorithm described in detail by Zanchet et al. Briefly, two multidimensional functions, defined as differences between experimental and calculated spectra, are minimized iteratively.

To calculate the transmission spectra through a three-layer system like our experimental one, an analytical model based on Fresnel coefficients was employed. To carry out this fitting, several experimental spectra of different thickness are necessary, as well as accurate measurements of the film thickness and of the refractive index n 0 of the ice. After the iterative procedure, the final fitted thickness and visible refractive indices differ from the measured values by less than the experimental error.

This condition is used as a measure of the consistency of the fitting. Files with the optical constants determined in this work for pure species and mixtures are given in the supplementary material. We have calculated also the optical constants of pure ethylene ice at 30 K. Absorption coefficients a and imaginary part of the refractive index b of pure ethylene ice at 30 K determined in this work compared with previous literature data.

During this period, many laboratories devoted to the study of ices and their evolution under irradiation, have determined the formation of complex molecules derived from it. The final products depend on the dose and also on the surface refreshing time.

The higher the irradiation dose is, the larger less hydrogenated molecules are formed. Also when the dose increases, a quasi-equilibrium is established between molecular formation and destruction until a plateau in abundance is attained. Torkashvand et al.

Most recently, Schmitt et al. Schmitt et al. The aim of the present work is to explore the impact of methane and ethylene on the homogeneous conversion chemistry of NO x and NH 3 under near-real exhaust conditions. Mole fraction profiles of reactants, products, hydrocarbon, nitrogenous and oxygenated intermediates were evaluated by using synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry SVUV-PIMS.

On the basis of these experiments, a detailed kinetic model was developed to interpret the experimental results and reveal the conversion kinetics of NH 3 and NO x in the presence of CH 4 and C 2 H 4 under different conditions. Details about the experimental setup have been introduced in our previous work Qi, ; Zhou et al.

Four experimental conditions were selected to cover the pressure ranges from 0. Detailed experimental conditions are listed in Table 1. Furthermore, two gas mixture conditions in the absence and presence of methane Sun et al. The gas mixtures were highly diluted in carrier gas argon with a total flow rate of standard cubic centimeters per minute sccm and an average residence time of 0. Gas mixtures were fed into a quartz flow reactor with 0.

The kinetic model used for the simulation was developed based on AramcoMech 3. The sub-mechanism describing NH 3 oxidation as well as interaction kinetics between C 0 -C 2 species and NO x was taken from the work of Glarborg et al. Glarborg et al. In addition, rate constants of several key reactions in the sub-mechanism of NH 3 , which are mainly related to the production of NH 2 and NO, have been updated from the theoretical studies of Stagni et al. Stagni et al. The newly proposed reactions pathways of NH radicals by Duynslaegher et al.

Duynslaegher et al. Sumathi et al. Deng et al. The reaction pathways describing the interaction chemistry between C 2 H 2 and NO x were taken from the recent studies of Marshall et al. Marshall et al. The simulation of flow reactor was carried out by using the Plug Flow Reactor module in Chemkin-Pro software ReactionDesign, with the measured centerline temperatures of flow reactor as input parameters.

Finally, the formation kinetics of nitrogenous and oxygenated intermediates will be analyzed to reveal the unique interactive reactions among hydrocarbons, NH 3 and NO x. For all the investigated gas mixtures, the model is capable of predicting the temperature-dependent decomposition profiles of reactants except for the discrepancy observed for NO in GM1 and GM4.

Regarding the major products, the model is able to reproduce the formation of most products except that the under-estimation of equilibrium concentration of N 2 at 0. The selected temperatures for the ROP analyses, i. Experimental data of GM are taken from the work of Sun et al. Sun et al. Experimental data of GM3 are taken from the work of Sun et al.

Numerous previous studies Miller and Bowman, ; Glarborg et al. Figure 3 summarizes the reaction pathways of NH 3 in the oxidation of GM By examining Figure 3 one can see that the profile of NO with temperature in GM4 has a distinct difference from that in other mixtures, and is also different from the result observed in the work of Schmitt et al. To clarify the kinetics behind it, ROP analyses were performed at low- to high-temperatures , 1, and K. The results indicate that the initial increase of NO at the temperature of K is mainly caused by the decomposition of nitrous acid HONO , followed by the interconversion reaction R4.

Over the temperature range of — K, the concentration of NO has only a slight change, generally because the thermal DeNO x reactions R1 and R2 proceed rather slow over this temperature range. As the temperature increases up to K, a second rise of NO concentration with temperature is observed. ROP analysis results show that reaction R6 is the dominant reaction that contributes to the formation of NO at temperatures above K.

Negative sensitivity coefficients indicate promotion to NO consumption. As the temperature increases to K, the concentration of NO has a second rise. The second rise of NO at higher temperatures is attributed by the reaction R6, which is the same as that in the oxidation of GM4. The sensitivity analyses shown in Figure 5C again illustrate the crucial role of reactions R7 and R8, i.

In addition, another consumption pathway of CH 3 O, i. Base on the ROP analysis, the reaction scheme is summarized in Figure 6. It should be noted that for all the four gas mixtures the major reaction pathways are similar, while the reaction flux is different. ROP analyses at , , , and K suggests that the occurrence of the first maximum and minimum points of NO mole fraction is the same as GM3 in terms of the kinetic interpretation, while the following attenuation of NO is dominated by the oxidation reaction with HO 2 R3 , while other reactions have little impacts on it.

Additionally, for the low pressure case of GM1 0. Particularly, the recombination reaction of CH 3 and NO 2 R9 is a major reaction that inhibits the reduction of NO, as can be seen in Figure 5B , while the competing oxidizing reaction R7 is the dominant reaction that promotes the consumption of NO. Besides, part of C 2 H 3 undergoes recombination reaction with NO 2 R12 and this reaction is the most sensitive reaction that promotes the reduction of NO at 1 atm, as shown in Figure 5B.

As pressure increases from 0. This does not seem surprising since this reaction and the following decomposition reactions of CH 3 O have been already identified as one of the most important reactions that initiate the production of radical pool. This indicates that OH plays a key role in controlling the global reactivity. At low pressure 0. Besides, the impact of pressure on the conversion of NO is also significant. However, at low pressure 0.

Sahu et al. N 2 and N 2 O are two major nitrogenous products observed in the present work. As seen in Figure 2 , the present model can capture the profiles of N 2 at atmospheric pressure, while highly under-predicts its formation at low pressure. Therefore, the under-estimation of N 2 at low-pressure may be attributed to the under-estimation of the rate constant of R7 at higher temperatures. In the present experiments, N 2 O has been observed to form in the order of tens of ppm on average over a wide temperature range.

In the work of Alzueta et al. Alzueta et al. Among them, CH 2 O is the most abundantly produced. The production of CH 2 O is derived from either methane- or ethylene-related oxidation steps. The concentration of CH 2 O at low pressure peaks at a relatively high temperature of K, demonstrating that at this temperature it is sufficient to overcome the energy barrier of the reaction between CH 3 and O.

HCNO is a key nitrogenous intermediate produced from the interaction of hydrocarbons and NO x under high temperature and reducing conditions in reburning chemistry, where nitric oxides are converted into cyanides and isocyanides by reactions with multiple hydrocarbon-derived radicals such as CH 3 , 3 CH 2 , and HCCO. Under the excess oxygen condition investigated in this work, part of the contribution of hydrocarbon derivatives to NO reduction is found mainly through the reactions RR Nevertheless, these species are beyond the focus of the present study, thus only a brief description is given herein.

CH 3 NH 2 can be observed at both 0. Because the consumption pathways of these nitrogenous intermediates are still not well understood, the present model is not able to reproduce their mole fraction profiles. More experimental and theoretical studies are deserved to achieve a better interpretation of the interaction kinetics between hydrocarbon radicals with NH, CN radicals and NO x. The present work has focused on two aspects with the aim to reveal the NH 3 and NO x interaction chemistry with CH 4 and C 2 H 4 at moderate temperatures and various pressures.

First, speciation profiles of reactants, products, nitrogenous and oxygenated intermediates were obtained by using synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry. Rate of production and sensitivity analyses were performed to analyze the conversion chemistry of NO x and NH 3 in the presence of hydrocarbons. The experimental results show that the addition of CH 4 and C 2 H 4 promotes the conversion of NO and NH 3 at atmospheric pressure in terms of decreasing the initial conversion temperature and narrowing the reaction temperature range.

Regarding the oxygenated and nitrogenous intermediates, formaldehyde and nitromethane are observed as the most abundantly produced oxygenated and nitrogenous intermediates, respectively. The identification of nitrogenous intermediates such as methylamine, nitromethane, vinyl cyanide, nitrosoethylene and nitroethylene provides key evidence for the direct recombination reactions of hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon radicals with NO x , NH 2 or CN.

The raw data supporting the conclusions of this article will be made available by the authors, without undue reservation.
