ABSTRACT
The status of volatile organic compound (VOC) treatment in auto/motorcycle parts & accessories manufacturing in Zhejiang province was analyzed based on data from a survey investigating 70 concerned enterprises conducted in 2015. The pollution characteristics were further explored and the emission coefficient of VOCs released from this industry was preliminarily calculated by analyzing the survey data of 56 of the typical enterprises that had been screened further. The results showed that about two thirds of the enterprises had been equipped with collection and treatment facilities, but most of those facilities were running abnormally. Solvent-based materials were used commonly in this industry, and the main VOCs pollutants were xylene, butyl acetate, cyclohexanone, acetic ether, and toluene. The VOCs emission coefficient of auto/motorcycle parts & accessories manufacturing in Zhejiang was 414 g·(thousand yuan)-1, whereas the emission coefficient of the enterprises producing parts & accessories for only auto was 294 g·(thousand yuan)-1. As for the the enterprises producing parts & accessories for only motorcycle and for both auto and motorcycle, the emission coefficient reached 715 g·(thousand yuan)-1.
ABSTRACT
To explore the pollution characteristics and emission coefficient of volatile organic compound (VOCs) released from the woodwork-making industry in Zhejiang province, this paper used the survey data of 310 woodwork enterprises obtained in 2015 to analyze the current VOCs treatment status of woodwork-making industry, and further screened 213 key enterprises to study the emission coefficient of woodwork-making industry. The results showed that more than 94% of woodwork enterprises failed to effectively dispose VOCs since most woodwork enterprises did not have treatment facilities. Moreover, solvent-based materials such as adhesive and paint were still commonly used in woodwork-making industry. Meanwhile, the main pollutants of VOCs in woodwork-making industry were dimethyl benzene, butyl acetate, ethyl acetate, toluene and formaldehyde. Furthermore, the VOCs emission coefficient of woodwork-making industry in Zhejiang was 93.4 g·(million Yuan)-1, while it was affected by the production processes, and the VOCs emission coefficient of enterprises using the coating techniques was higher than that using the adhesive techniques, being 93.6 g·(million Yuan)-1 and 9.5 g·(million Yuan)-1, respectively. Furthermore, the major polluting stage of woodwork-making industry was coating stage, and the VOCs emission coefficient was 31.0 g·(million Yuan)-1 when waterborne and UV coating was used. The highest VOCs emission coefficient was from wooden furniture manufacturers, which could reach 168.5 g·(million Yuan)-1 when solvent-based coatings were used.
