Abstract:
With continuous promotion of air pollution control in China, VOCs pollution control effectiveness in industrial enterprises has significantly improved, progressing into a phase of graded and precise control. Utilizing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a hierarchical framework was constructed for VOCs-emitting industrial enterprises to differentiate between O
3 and PM
2.5 pollution periods. The model compromised four major criteria: geographical location, emissions and reactivity, governance level, and economic benefits, with seven evaluation indicators. Experts and environmental management professionals assigned scores to quantify the weight of these indicators. The model was applied to 27 VOCs-emitting enterprises in Suqian City, using measured data and literature research to obtain VOCs source profiles, which were then used to calculate accurate reactivity data. The results indicated that the top three indicators in terms of weight were the reactivity(0.42), the orientation relative to national monitoring stations(0.32), and the distance from these stations(0.10). A total of 20 enterprises’ VOCs source profiles were collected through sampling. In the wood processing industry, halogenated hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons were dominant. For the plastic products industry, alkanes and oxygen-containing VOCs prevailed. In the rubber products industry, the main components were oxygen-containing VOCs and aromatic hydrocarbons. In the industrial coating and printing industries, aromatic hydrocarbons and oxygen-containing VOCs were the major components. In the chemical industry, halogenated hydrocarbons and oxygen-containing VOCs were predominant. The control levels of 27 enterprises were categorized into four levels: key, secondary key, general, and ordinary. Enterprises with unfavorable geographical locations and strong reactivity were more prone to be listed as key-controlled enterprises. Given the variations in reactivity and wind direction during the periods of O
3 and PM
2.5 pollution, the results of graded control differed. The control level of an enterprise could span up to three tiers at most.
