Xiong, Jianyin; Wang, Lixin; Bai, Yuhua; Zhang, Yinping Measuring the characteristic parameters of VOC emission from paints Journal Article In: Building and Environment, vol. 66, pp. 65 - 71, 2013, ISSN: 0360-1323. Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Characteristic parameters, Emission, Indoor air quality (IAQ), Paints, Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) @article{XIONG201365,The emission characteristic parameters of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from paints are the initial concentration, the diffusion coefficient and the paint/air partition coefficient. It is necessary to determine these parameters for fully understanding the emission behaviors as well as for source control. Based on detailed mass transfer analysis of VOC emissions from paints, a novel method is developed to measure these parameters, which owns the following merits: (1) the diffusion coefficient and partition coefficient can be simultaneously determined; (2) it takes less than 12 h for the cases studied and indicates high measurement accuracy (R2 in the range of 0.921–0.939). Ventilated chamber experiments are performed to obtain the two parameters of methylcyclohexane and toluene emissions from one kind of solvent-based paint. The effectiveness of the method is verified by the good agreement between model predictions based on the determined characteristic parameters and experiments. The present approach is then applied to analyze the experimental data in the literature, and good results are also obtained, which further demonstrates that the approach is convincing and reliable. Our new approach should prove useful for rapid prediction and characterization of VOC emissions from paints as well as from other wet materials. |
