Mixed chlorine-bromine ozone-loss cycle
ID: mixed-chlorine-bromine-ozone-loss-cycle
In the productive mixed-radical pathway, chlorine monoxide and BrO yield chlorine and bromine atoms; subsequent atom reactions with ozone regenerate the oxides. The net cycle consumes two ozone molecules per radical-pair event, giving when the subsequent steps are fast. The branching of a real chlorine monoxide–BrO reaction must be included if not already absorbed into its specified effective rate coefficient.
