Study on the emission characteristics and potential environment hazards of the heat-setting machine of the typical dyeing and finishing enterprise]

To explore the emission characteristics and potential environment hazards of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from the heat-setting machine of the textile dyeing and finishing process, this paper selected five typical printing and dyeing enterprises in Zhejiang province as the monitoring subjects, and analyzed the actual emissions of 12 kinds of VOCs from the heat-setting machine (such as benzene methanol, formaldehyde, etc.), and then preliminarily estimated the emissions of VOCs from heat-setting machines of the whole province. Through analysis of the ozone generating potential, this paper preliminarily evaluated its harm to the environment. The results showed that although the concentration of VOCs was low, it contained benzene and formaldehyde, and the highest detection concentration could reach 1.53 mg x m(-3) and 15.4 mg x m(-3), which might cause serious environmental and human health hazards, Moreover, the VOCs emission from heat-setting machines in Zhejiang province was between 200. 9 t x a(-1) and 2 239.3 t x a(-1), which was dominated by formaldehyde, accounting for about 50%. The O3 yield generated from VOCs was between 860.4 t and 16 715. 5 t, with the average of 7 729.6 t. The main contribution of VOCs was xylene, toluene and formaldehyde, which could account for more than 90%. Furthermore, the VOCs emission from heat-setting machines in Shaoxing industry agglomeration area could have great influence on the ambient air quality, especially for the O3 concentration and the minimum contribution rate was 3.1%.
