“…The PVC production process can result in the release of harmful substances such as carcinogenic vinyl chloride [71]. Additives used in PVC production, such as waxes, stabilizers, plasticizers, flame retardants, and pigments [113,114], can also contribute to VOC emissions [115,116]. These VOCs can contaminate the air and drinking water supplies, contributing to environmental degradation and climate change.…”

PVC is widely used in packaging, electrical insulation, and medical devices due to its versatility owing to its resistance, incombustible and barrier properties as well as affordable cost. In the present study, bibliometric and co-occurrence analyses are proposed to identify trends, gaps, future directions, and challenges regarding process system engineering (PSE) applied to the production process of PVC using VOSviewer as a tool for analyzing the data obtained from SCOPUS. A mapping of different topics alluding to simulation of PVC production was provided to gain a better insight into the development of the topic and its progression. The findings indicate that the literature on this topic falls into five different clusters: modeling and simulation of PVC production, process control and optimization, and optimization strategies of the process. From a co-occurrence study we identified that mathematics and statistics applied to polymer chemistry, separation phenomena, and polymer production are the main areas of interest for further research. The trends suggest that Monte Carlo and numerical simulation can contribute to a deeper understanding of PVC’s properties and behavior. In addition, the focus on plastics and microplastics reflects concerns about the environmental impact. A bibliometric study evidenced that PSE provides the tools for improvement in PVC production processes by employing advanced process engineering techniques. Modelling and new algorithms for simulation methods of continuous polymerization processes are important to enhance accuracy and efficiency across various applications. The study also proposes a research agenda for future researchers working in the field of the use of PSE applied to the PVC production process.

“…Furthermore, it is highly likely to be carcinogenic for the people residing close to factories that produce vinyl chloride or within heavy VOCs [10][11][12][13]. Based on the evaluation of Wang's work [14], it is recommended that PVC products should be stored in a well-ventilated place for at least 28 days before indoor use. Therefore, in the context of meeting basic performance Materials 2024, 17, 1076 2 of 14 requirements, reducing PVC usage while simultaneously lowering inherent VOC emission levels holds practical significance for green and health-oriented applications of PVC.…”

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) foam, valued for its mechanical and thermal properties along with cost-effectiveness, is extensively utilized across diverse industries. However, its high volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions hinder its adoption in eco-friendly synthetic leather. This study proposes a solution by optimizing the formulation design and foaming processes and achieving mechanical property enhancement via carbon-fiber-reinforced PVC composite foam (CF/PVC). The aim is to reduce PVC usage via enhancing its intrinsic properties. Systematic investigations were carried out on the impact of foaming raw materials, foaming processes, fiber content, and fiber length on the foaming performance, mechanical properties, and VOC emissions. The material formulation and process parameters were successfully optimized. Further assessment of various indicators such as the density, mechanical properties, and tear resistance of synthetic leather samples confirmed that the innovative CF/PVC foam developed in this study meets the requirements for automotive interior applications. Notably, the tensile strength and tear resistance of CF/PVC composite synthetic leather increased by 50% and 29%, respectively, compared to pure PVC, while VOC emissions decreased by 28%. It is anticipated that a more pronounced reduction in VOC emissions will be achieved in practical automotive interior leather applications when further considering the reinforcing effect of fibers, which leads to a reduction in PVC usage. The findings present a technical reference for innovative applications, aiming to enhance PVC foam performance and minimize emissions.

As one of the most common tree species, birch wood (Betula pendula Roth) is widely used as a material of furniture and decoration indoors for its many excellent characteristics. Whereas there are some studies on the volatile composition of the essential oil from the leaves of Betula pendula Roth, only limited information is available on the odor-active constituents of birch wood. To close this gap, the odorants of birch wood were investigated by means of instrumental and sensory analyses, including techniques such as gas chromatography-flame ionization detection/olfactometry, high-resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and heart-cut two-dimensional high-resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/olfactometry. Overall, a total of 20 odorants was (tentatively) identified on the basis of their respective odor qualities and retention indices and mass spectra by comparison with reference compounds. It was shown that birch wood odor is dominated by a series of terpenes, terpenoids and phenyl compounds originating from the degradation of lignin and aldehydes, ketones and acids originating from fatty acid degradation. By a sensory evaluation of the birch wood, the predominant odor attributes were determined to be earthy, pencil-like, corky/mouldy, grassy, fatty, fruity, green tea-like, herb-like, vanilla-like, and vinegar-like.
