Control of VOC Emissions from Nonferrous Metal Rolling Processes

摘要

The document was developed in response to increasing inquiries into theenvironmental impacts of nonferrous metal rolling processes that use oil as a lubricant and coolant in rolling operations. VOC emissions result from evaporative fugitive losses caused by heat generated in the rolling processes. The focus of the document is VOC emission control techniques used by copper and aluminum rolling mills. A control cost analysis is also provided for each of the control techniques addressed. The control techniques are: carbon adsorption, absorption, incineration, and lubricant substitution.
