Abstract

An electrical low pressure impactor particle monitor was used to monitor typical industries in Sichuan Province, such as cement, glass, ceramic, brick-tile, coal-fired boiler, biomass boiler, power plant, and steel industry. Fine particulate matter source profiles of each industry were developed based on the laboratory analysis. The results showed that Si, Ca, and Mg were the major elements of building industry particulate matter emission. Sulfate emission from double sodium-calcium was higher than from other desulfurization technologies in the building industry. The main chemical components of PM2.5 from power plants were SO42-, Ca2+, NH4+, Mg, and Si, while OC, Al, Si, and Ca were the main chemical components of PM2.5 from coal-fired boilers. The content of OC was the most abundant in biomass briquette boiler particulate matter emissions, followed by K and EC. In term of the biomass fuel boiler PM2.5 source profile, OC, EC, and Cl- were the major chemical components. Ca was the largest component of PM2.5 from the steel industry, accounting for 18.11% of the total PM2.5 emission, followed by SO42-, Na+, and Fe.
