“…Despite the continuous development of civilization, increasingly serious environmental degradation problems lead human society into an unprecedented predicament. , Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one of the major components of air pollutants and are mainly derived from the combustion of fossil fuels and emissions of vehicles. − Propane (C 3 H 8 ), as a short-chain hydrocarbon, is one of the precursors to near-ground ozone (O 3 ), energetically deteriorating both the ecosystem and human health. − In this context, there is an ongoing requirement for the abatement of C 3 H 8 to contribute to environmental sustainability. Compared with other VOC elimination technologies, catalytic oxidation has aroused a tremendous amount of attention due to its incomparable efficiency at relatively low operating temperatures and eco-friendliness. , The most commonly utilized catalysts in catalytic oxidation are supported noble-mental-based materials. − By far, Pt-based catalysts are one of the most widespread materials and have been studied profoundly because they can satisfy the requirements for VOC elimination at low temperatures. ,− …”

Typically, SO 2 unavoidably deactivates catalysts in most heterogeneous catalytic oxidations. However, for Pt-based catalysts, SO 2 exhibits an extraordinary boosting effect in propane catalytic oxidation, but the promotive mechanism remains contentious. In this study, an in situ-formed tactful (Pt−S− O)-Ti structure was concluded to be a key factor for Pt/TiO 2 catalysts with a substantial SO 2 tolerance ability. The experiments and theoretical calculations confirm that the high degree of hybridization and orbital coupling between Pt 5d and S 3p orbitals enable more charge transfer from Pt to S species, thus forming the (Pt−S−O)-Ti structure with the oxygen atom dissociated from the chemisorbed O 2 adsorbed on oxygen vacancies. The active oxygen atom in the (Pt−S−O)-Ti active structure is a robust site for C 3 H 8 adsorption, leading to a better C 3 H 8 combustion performance. This work can provide insights into the rational design of chemical bonds for high SO 2 tolerance catalysts, thereby improving economic and environmental benefits.

“…The EFs were underestimated in previous studies due to the neglect or underestimation of some emission sources. 12,18,24 Because different crude oils, processing techniques, and climatic conditions all impact the emissions of VOCs, 21 EFs from a single petroleum refinery cannot represent the national emission levels. Multiple refineries should be involved to investigate each potential emission source, including ancillary sources and nonrefinery processes.…”

The petroleum refining industry is the key contributor to industrial volatile organic compounds (VOCs). To establish refined emission factors (EFs) and a source profile, 76 samples from eight refineries were collected using 33 processes. Arithmetic and weighted average methods were used to produce composites of the source profiles. EFs of eight emission sources (0.027−0.96 kg of VOCs/t of crude) were estimated and further classified with different control technology levels. EFs of all refineries ranged from 0.67 to 2.77 kg of VOCs/t of crude. Equipment leak (EL) was the largest emission source (37.65−76.70%), followed by storage tank (ST), loading operation (LO), and wastewater collection and treatment systems (WT). EFs of the EL, ST, WT, LO, cooling tower, processing vent (PV), stationary combustion, and flare were 0.96 ± 0.45, 0.28 ± 0.18, 0.17 ± 0.12, 0.093 ± 0.091, 0.070 ± 0.070, 0.028 ± 0.017, 0.010 ± 010, and 0.027 ± 0.023 kg of VOCs/t of crude, respectively. Alkanes made the largest contribution to the petroleum refining industry, followed by OVOCs and aromatics. Ethane, propane, isobutane, n-butane, isopentane, and n-pentane were the major species. Toluene, benzene, ethylene, and propene in EL, nbutyl acetate and acetone in ST, toluene and benzene in WT, MTBE in LO, and n-hexane in PV were dominant in the corresponding sources.

“…Although there are many studies about VOC source profiles in China, some significant differences in source compositions have been reported between different regions. These earlier domestic VOC source profiles are limited; however, they are mainly concentrated in economically developed regions, such as the Pearl River Delta (PRD), Yangtze River Delta (YRD), Chengdu–Chongqing region, and Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region (BTH) [ 21 ]. Due to numerous industrial categories with complex production processes, the source and emission characteristics of industrial VOCs are very complicated.…”

China is prone to severe surface ozone pollution in summer, so it is very important to understand the source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to control ozone formation. In this work, the emission characteristics of 91 VOC components from the plastic products industry, packaging and printing industries, printing ink industry, furniture manufacturing and vehicle manufacturing industries were studied. The results show that there are significant differences between these sources, and for the plastic products industry, alkanes (48%) are the most abundant VOCs. The main emission species in the packaging and printing industry are OVOCs (36%) and alkanes (34%). The proportion of OVOCs in the printing ink (73%) and furniture manufacturing industries (49%) is dominated by VOC emissions; aromatic hydrocarbons (33%), alkanes (33%), and OVOCs (17%) are the main emission species in the vehicle manufacturing industry. At the same time, the ozone generation potential (OFP) and secondary organic aerosol formation potential (SOA) of anthropogenic VOC emissions were evaluated, and the top 10 contributors to OFP and SOA were identified. Toluene, o-xylene, and m-xylene had a significant tendency to form OFP or SOA. Then, a health risk assessment of VOC components was carried out. These data can supplement the existing VOC emission characteristics of anthropogenic emissions, thus enriching the research progress of VOC emission sources.
