[0002] The petrochemical industry plays a pivotal role in the development of the national economy. The atmospheric pollutants emitted by the petrochemical industry mainly include SO2, NO x And volatile organic compounds (VOCs), among which VOCs are of various types, highly toxic and harmful. They are important precursors to the formation of ozone and secondary organic particulate matter, and are also the culprits of regional environmental problems such as photochemical smog and haze. They seriously threaten human health and ecological security and have become the focus of prevention and control in the petrochemical industry.
[0003] For example, 2-Methylpentane (2-Methylpentane), also known as isohexane, is a typical volatile organic compound that is widely used in petroleum refining, chemical raw materials, synthetic rubber and other petrochemical industries.
