Segment-based Volatile Organic Compound Emission Characteristics from Different Types of Coking Plants in China by Rumei Li, Yulong Yan, Lin Peng, Yinghui Li, Zhuocheng Liu, Zhanchun Fan, Huanfeng Li, Yang Xu, Cheng Wang, Dongmei Hu, Zhiyong Li

“…Abstract The source profiles, emission factors, and chemical reactivity of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated by two typical coking plants, one employing a non-recovery process and the other, a mechanical process, in Shanxi Province, a major coking hub in China, were determined for different segments of coke production during normal operations. The primary components in the stack flue gas were ethylene, 1-butene, benzene, acetylene, and 2,2-dimethylbutane for the non-recovery plant and styrene, benzene, and ethylene for the mechanical plant. …”
