Nguyen Thi Thu Phuong College of Technology - TNU SUMMARY At the coking plant, there are many manufacturing processes which generate air pollutants and impact on the environment, including coke quenching Inventory of emission of coke production process make significant contribution to air pollution control and environmental management In this studying, concentrations of pollutants being CO, SO2, NO, in coke quenching process were determined Samples of gaseous pollutants in the flue were collected using a stack sampler of APEC XC572-V and following USEPA methods 6, 7, 10 Based on monitoring and the process information, total emissions and emission factors of these pollutants for this process were determined Based on burning fiiel, the emission factors of CO, SO2, and NO2 in the experiment were 0.029 mg/kg; 0.012 mg/kg; and 0.004 mg/kg, respectively Alternatively, based on coke product, the emission factors of CO, SO2, and NO2 in the experiment were 0.035 mg/kg; 0.015 mg/kg; and 0.005 mg/kg, correspondingly The results obtained from the research can be used for industrial emission inventories and air quality management in Viet Nam KeywordsiAlr polluani, coke quenching, emission, emissionfiiclor,inventory INTRODUCTION An emission factor is a representative value that attempts to relate the quantity of a pollutant released to the atmosphere with an activity associated with the release of that pollutant Emission inventories are fundamental tools for air quality management They are used for identifying major contributors of atmospheric pollutants, developing emission control strategies, determining applicability of permitting programs, and other related applications [4] Metallurgical coke is produced by the destructive distillation of coal in coke ovens Prepared coal is heated in an oxygen-fi-ee ahnosphere (-cooked-) at 950-I050°C until most volatile components in the coal are removed The material remaining is a carbon mass called coke [5] At the coke plant, there are many manufacturing processes which generate air pollutants to impact on the environment, including coke quenching However, data on emission factors for coke production is scarce includmg Viet Nam This ' Email: Tkuynguyenktml@tnuudu v Study; therefore, aims to develop the emission factors of coke production in Vietnamese conditions This paper presents preliminary results on the emission factors of coke quenching process for Thai Nguyen Iron and Steel Joint Stock Company MATERIALS AND METHODS Process description This study was conducted at Coking Factory of Thai Nguyen Iron and Steel Joint Stock Company There are three main houses in this company including coking house, chemistry house, and steel rolling house, From raw coal storage, coal is put into bunker and is pushed to mixing bins and, at which, the coal is usually a blend of two or more kinds of coal Then, it is heated in sealed chamber without air with the temperature inside oven reaching from 950''C to 1050°C in 20 minutes At the end of process, the coke is pushed through a coke guide into a special railroad car called a quench car The quench car carries the coke to a quench tower where it is deluged with water to prevent the coke from burning after exposure to air When 107 Nguyen Thj Thu Thuy vd Dtg 126(12; 07-111 Tap chi KHOA HOC & CONG NGHE coke is cold, it is crushed, screened and gone to coke storage Emission and cootrol There are many emission points in coke production such as door emissions, combustion stack emissions, pushing emissions, quenching emissions etc which were shown in Figure In this research, quenching emissions were chosen to study The flue gas of coke quenching, after being treated by a spray tower scrubber (made of stainless steel, 4m high) and a tray tower absorber (made of stainless steel, 6.2 m high), is emitted into the atmosphere at the height of 33m via an exhaust pipe on the top of the absorber This exhaust pipe is 2m high and lm in diameter There is a monitoring port located at 1.5 m from the open end of this exhaust pine This monitoring port was used for the stu Sampling and analytical methods Samples were collected at the same time of a batch of coke quenching production on March (CTI), May (CT2), and August (CT3) in 2014, based on US EPA methods 6, 7, 10 for SO2, NOx, CO, respectively Then, samples were preserved and analyzed in laboratory following TCVN 7242:2000, TCVN 6750:2005, TCVN 7172:2002 for CO, SO2, NO2, respectively Calculation method Emission: The total emission of eacli pollutant is calculated by the following formula: Total emission = C|.L.t (mg) (1) Where, C, is the concentration of each pollutant (mg/m^), L is the flow of flue gas (m^/h) and t (h) is the monitoring time Emission factors: The emission factors of each pollutant are calculated by the following formula: (2) EF,= t-fiieKi-producl Where, EF, is the emission factor of each pollutant, E, is the emission of each pollutant and Efiiei/Eproduct are the amount of fliel and product, respectively Emission rates: The emission rates of each pollutant are calculated by the following formula: ERr (3) Where, ER, is the emission rate of each pollutant, E, is the emission of each pollutant and t (h) is the monitoring time Figure 1: Some major emission points in coke production Nguyen Thj Thu Thuy vo Dig Tgp chi KHOA HQC & CONG NGHE

whole coking process Data for specific steps of this process are very scarce Data on emission factors in the step of coke furnace pushing and controlled door leak emission can be considered to be the same range with those of coke quenching [4] The results in this study were also compared with the study of Thuy et al [3] As can be seen in Figure 3, the emission factors of NO and SO2 in this study were relatively similar with those of Thuy's study However, there are some differences between the results in this study and those of Thuy's study although two experiments were conducted in the same
