In addition,the partitioning of PCDD/Fs between vapor and solid phase at different locations in EAF did not change significantly,while a reduction of solid-phase PCDD/Fs was observed at the outlet of BF.As the chlorination level of PCDD/Fs congener increases,the vapor pressure of PCDD/F congener decreases,resulting in the increase of PCDD/Fs existing in solid phase.Hence,the removal efficiencies of highly chlorinated congeners were significantly higher than that of lowly chlorinated congeners.PCDFs accounted for more than 85%of the TEQ in flue gas of the EAF investigated,among them 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF（> 43%） was of the highest contribution.Overall,2,3,7,8-TCDD,2,3,7,8-TCDF and 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF can serve as the unique congeners in the flue gas of the stainless steel EAF process.展开更多
