Influence of Fuel Types and Combustion Environment on Emission of VOCs from Combustion Sources: A Review
Abstract
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are toxic or or carcinogenic, as well as creating photochemical fumes in the presence of sunlight, damaging the environment. In this study, the damages of VOCs to the environment and human health are discussed first. In addition, the definition and classification of the VOC of important international bodies are given in detail and the VOCs that are considered the most harmful and subject to legislative purposes in the context of this definition and classification are examined. Then, the harmful and abundant of VOC species emitted by the power plants and internal combustion engines, which are the main subject of the study, were examined and the parameters affecting the emission of these emitted gases are discussed under separate titles. The parameters affecting the VOCs release in the combustion event vary depending on the fuel and combustion system. By determining the effects of these parameters on VOCs emission, necessary conditions were determined to reduce the emission of these harmful components. Thus, some insights were tried to be given about the reduction of VOC emissions that may occur by burning fossil fuels in thermal power plants and internal combustion engines.
