| description | With the rapid development of metal packaging, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions from the packaging processes are also increasing gradually. It is necessary to research the characteristics of VOCs emissions from such important industrial source and its impact on the possible ozone formation. In this research, three typical metal packaging plants were selected, VOCs emission characteristics were investigated, and their ozone formation potential were evaluated by using maximum incremental reactivity (MIR) coefficient method. The results showed that the VOCs emission characteristics of the selected targets were obviously different. VOCs emitted from plant A and B were mainly oxygenated hydrocarbons, which accounted for 85.02% and 43.17%, respectively. Olefins (62.75%) were the main species of plant C. 2-butanone (82.67%), methylene chloride (23.00%) and ethylene (36.67%) were the major species of plant A, plant B and plant C, respectively. The OFP (ozone formation potential) value of plant B (120.49 mg/m<sup>3</sup>) was much higher than those values of plant A (643.05 mg/m<sup>3</sup>) and plant C (3311.73 mg/m<sup>3</sup>), in which para-xylene, meta-xylene, acetaldehyde and ethylene were the main contributors. The difference in OFP values indicated that water-based ink and water-based coatings should be recommended for large scale application due to less VOCs emission and low ozone formation contribution. |
