[Source Profiles of VOCs for Different Types of Industrial Boilers in Sichuan, China].

Seven different types of industrial boilers in Sichuan Province were selected to determine the VOC emission components and the source profiles of VOCs containing 115 components were established using Teflon sampling and GC-MS/FID analysis. The ozone formation potential （OFP） and emission factors of VOCs from different types of industrial boilers were analyzed. The results showed that the VOC components emitted from different types of industrial boilers were different. Oxygenated volatile organic compounds （OVOCs） and halogenated hydrocarbons were the major components of biomass boilers, with a total contribution rate of more than 60%. The primary VOC emission species included dichloromethane, ethylene, acetone, acetaldehyde, acetylene, and toluene. Halogenated hydrocarbons （50.7%） were the chief emission components of coal-fired boilers, followed by aromatic hydrocarbons and OVOCs. Dichloromethane, ethylene, acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, and benzene hydrocarbon were the major VOC emission species. The emission of alkanes （59.7%） in natural gas boilers was prominent, particularly ethane and isopentane. The OFP values of VOC emissions from coal-fired, biomass, and natural gas industrial boilers were 6.1, 28.7, and 4.7 mg·m^-3, respectively. Alkenes were the primary OFP contributors （35.1%-59.5%） in different types of industrial boilers. OVOCs （32.8%） in biomass boilers and aromatic hydrocarbons （43.0%） in coal-fired boilers also contributed significantly to OFP. The VOC emission factors of coal-fired, biomass, and natural gas industrial boilers in Sichuan Province were （17.3 ± 10.7） g·t^-1, （90.6 ± 42.1） g·t^-1, and 0.10 g·m^-3, respectively. The VOC emission level of biomass boilers was higher than that of coal-fired boilers and VOC emission control could not be ignored.
