Optimizing operating parameters of a honeycomb zeolite rotor concentrator for processing TFT-LCD volatile organic compounds with competitive adsorption characteristics

Exposure to volatile organic compounds and kidney dysfunction in thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) workers

“…This system is one of the most commonly used devices for VOC abatement, and comprises three components: the HZRC, an incinerator, and airflow ducts [4]. One previous study showed that the optimal parameters for highefficiency VOCs removal included an inlet velocity of <1.5 m s −1 , a concentration ratio of 8 times, a desorption temperature of 200-225 • C, and a rotation speed of 6.5 rpm [4].…”

“…Finally, the module assembly process involves connecting additional components such as driver-integrated circuits and backlight units to the fabricated glass panel. A variety of VOCs has been reported to be emitted in these processes, including acetone, ethanol, ethyl acetate, isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME), propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) and toluene [3][4][5].…”

Comparative life cycle assessment of plasma-based and traditional exhaust gas treatment technologies

“…It is recommended for large gas flows with low solvent concentrations, so that costs for waste gas cleaning may be kept to a minimum (Lin andChang, 2009, Regenerative sorption, 2010).…”

Indoor and Outdoor Exposure to Volatile Organic Compounds and Health Risk Assessment in Residents Living near an Optoelectronics Industrial Park

“…The concentrations of a total sum of 14 VOCs, toluene, acetone, and ethanol, were significantly associated with the increment of optoelectronic sales per million U.S. dollars after adjusting for traffic and meteorological conditions [10]. In the TFT-LCD companies, the measured VOCs included ethanol, acetone, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA), propylene glycol monomethyl ether, cyclohexanone, benzene, toluene, m/p-xylene, o-xylene, butyl acetate, and hexane [4,11,12]. Additionally, a very common chemical compound, tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH), was reported to be used in the anisotropic wet etching of the TFT-LCD manufacturing processes [13].…”
