Abstract:The inventories of atmospheric antimony (Sb) emissions from coal combustion in China were compiled for the year 2005 utilizing the emission factor method based on provincial coal consumption and average Sb concentration in feed coal. Sb emission sources were categorized by economic sectors (power, industry, residential use, and others), fuel types (raw coal, washed coal, coke, and briquettes), combustion technologies (stoke, PC bolier, fluidized bolier) and pollution control equipments (cyclone, wet scrubber, ESP, fabric filter,etc.). The total atmospheric Sb emissions from coal burning were evaluated at 530.86t, in which Guizhou province had the heaviest emissions (49.28t), followed by Hunan (45.96t), Hebei (37.36t), Shandong (35.12t), and Anhui (30.92t), suggesting that the east and central China dominance of Sb emission. As for the sectoral contribution, approximately 47.2% of the total Sb emissions came from industry sector, and 39.9% from thermal power generation.
