Vinyl chloride can be used as an extractant, refrigerant, and also as a solvent, for manufacturing plastics and organic synthesis; this dataset includes primary raw materials, energy, atmospheric emissions, water emissions, and wastes from the production process. Infrastructure such as production equipment and building construction is not included within the boundaries of the dataset; the data inventory is derived from literature and data optimization was performed based on the best available information as of 2022. TRI (Toxic Release Inventory) data was used as a substitute for the data collected by the EDC/VCM data collectors for the following emissions: vinyl chloride, dichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane (chloroform), methyl chloride, and dichloro-. Dioxins, the Vinyl Institute provided data on EDC/VCM production in 2015, as well as estimated percentages of each emission from EDC/VCM production and PVC production. The quantity of dioxins is calculated in terms of Toxicity Equivalents (TEQ). Ethylene is chlorinated in the liquid phase to produce vinyl chloride, the process flow includes catalytic reaction (ethylene, hydrochloric acid, and oxygen react under a catalyst to produce dichloroethane and water), high-temperature cracking (dichloroethane cracks at high temperatures to produce vinyl chloride and hydrogen chloride), and hydrogen chloride recovery, among other process steps.
