  2. Volatile organic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatile_organic_compound

    The VOC Solvents Emissions Directive was the main policy instrument for the reduction of industrial emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the European Union. It covers a wide range of solvent-using activities, e.g. printing, surface cleaning, vehicle coating, dry cleaning and manufacture of footwear and pharmaceutical products.

  3. 2-Butoxyethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-Butoxyethanol

    2-Butoxyethanol is an organic compound with the chemical formula BuOC 2 H 4 OH (Bu = CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 2).This colorless liquid has a sweet, ether-like odor, as it derives from the family of glycol ethers, and is a butyl ether of ethylene glycol.

  4. VOC exempt solvent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VOC_exempt_solvent

    Due to its classification as VOC exempt, dimethyl carbonate has grown in popularity and applications as a replacement for methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and other solvents. tert-Butyl acetate is used as a solvent in the production of lacquers, enamels, inks, adhesives, thinners and industrial cleaners. [10] [11] It also gained EPA VOC exempt status.

  5. Kennelly–Heaviside layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennelly–Heaviside_layer

    Layers of the ionosphere.The Kennelly–Heaviside layer is the E region. The Heaviside layer, [1] [2] sometimes called the Kennelly–Heaviside layer, [3] [4] named after Arthur E. Kennelly and Oliver Heaviside, is a layer of ionised gas occurring roughly between 90km and 150 km (56 and 93 mi) above the ground — one of several layers in the Earth's ionosphere.

  6. Thermal oxidizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_oxidizer

    Catalytic oxidation occurs through a chemical reaction between the VOC hydrocarbon molecules and a precious-metal catalyst bed that is internal to the oxidizer system. A catalyst is a substance that is used to accelerate the rate of a chemical reaction, allowing the reaction to occur in a normal temperature range between 340 °C (644 °F) and ...

  7. European emission standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_emission_standards

    In Regulations (EC) 443/2009 and (EU) 2019/631 this relationship between the specific emissions target E and the general emissions target E 0 is expressed as E = E 0 + a × (M-M 0) with the mass of the specific vehicle denoted by M and the average vehicle mass denoted by M 0 (approx. 1400 kg).

  8. Volatile Organic Compounds Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatile_Organic_Compounds...

    The Protocol to the 1979 Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution Concerning the Control of Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds or Their Transboundary Fluxes (known as the Volatile Organic Compounds Protocol or the VOC Protocol) is a protocol to the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution which aims to provide for the control and reduction of emissions of volatile ...

  9. Flammability limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flammability_limit

    Lower flammability limits for many organic materials are in the range of 10–50 g/m 3, which is much higher than the limits set for health reasons, as is the case for the LEL of many gases and vapours. Dust clouds of this concentration are hard to see through for more than a short distance, and normally only exist inside process equipment.
