[Emission Characteristics and List of Inorganic Elements in Fine Particles of Typical Industrial Kilns in Zhengzhou City].

ABSTRACT

Samples of particulate matter from flue gas emissions of typical brick, cement, and firebrick industrial kilns in Zhengzhou City were collected by dilution channel systems. Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, V, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Sr, Cd, Sb, Sn, Ba, and Pb were analyzed. The emission factors (EFs) and emissions of inorganic elements of PM2.5 from kilns flue gases of three industries in Zhengzhou City during 2016 were calculated. A grid list of 1 km×1 km was also established. The results show that the highest concentration of total inorganic elements was in the firebrick industry, corresponding to(609.97±490.97) µg·m-3. The concentration of inorganic elements in the three industries accounted for 34%-54%, 27%-42%, and 23%-53% of PM2.5. The inorganic elements emitted from industrial kilns in brick and cement industries were mainly crust elements, and the highest concentration elements were Cl and Al. The inorganic elements emitted by industrial furnaces in the firebrick industry were mainly heavy metals, and the highest concentration element was Pb. The coefficient of divergence (CD) of inorganic elements in brick and cement industry was 0.389, that is slightly different. The CD between cement and refractory industry was 0.732, which represents a significant difference between inorganic element emissions. In 2016, the emissions of Pb, S, Zn, Cl, K, As, Fe, Si, Cr, Al, Na, and Ca in PM2.5 from major industrial furnaces in Zhengzhou City were 919.0, 793.1, 124.7, 378.6, 82.6, 12.2, 60.4, 145.4, 7.4, 86.6, 15.8, and 111.4 kg·a-1, respectively. Heavy metal emission in the Xinmi area was the highest, representing a high health risk.
