The oxidation of SO2 to sulfate is a key reaction in determining the roleof sulfate in the environment through its effect on aerosol size distributionand composition. Sulfur isotope analysis has been used to investigate sourcesand chemical processes of sulfur dioxide and sulfate in the atmosphere,however interpretation of measured sulfur isotope ratios is challenging dueto a lack of reliable information on the isotopic fractionation involved inmajor transformation pathways. This paper presents laboratory measurements ofthe fractionation factors for the major atmospheric oxidation reactions forSO2: Gas-phase oxidation by OH radicals, and aqueous oxidation byH2O2, O3 and a radical chain reaction initiated by iron. Themeasured fractionation factor for 34S/32S during the gas-phasereaction is αOH = (1.0089±0.0007)−((4±5)×10−5) T(°C). Themeasured fractionation factor for 34S/32S during aqueous oxidationby H2O2 or O3 is αaq = (1.0167±0.0019)−((8.7±3.5) ×10−5)T(°C). The observedfractionation during oxidation by H2O2 and O3 appeared to becontrolled primarily by protonation and acid-base equilibria of S(IV) insolution, which is the reason that there is no significant differencebetween the fractionation produced by the two oxidants within theexperimental error. The isotopic fractionation factor from a radical chainreaction in solution catalysed by iron is αFe =(0.9894±0.0043) at 19 °C for 34S/32S. Fractionationwas mass-dependent with regards to 33S/32S for all the reactionsinvestigated. The radical chain reaction mechanism was the only measuredreaction that had a faster rate for the light isotopes. The results presentedin this study will be particularly useful to determine the importance of thetransition metal-catalysed oxidation pathway compared to other oxidationpathways, but other main oxidation pathways can not be distinguished based onstable sulfur isotope measurements alone
