Description

This lecture covers the production of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as a green reagent, replacing toxic and risky phosgene. It discusses various routes for DMC production, its advantages over phosgene, and its applications in urea production and polymerization. The lecture also delves into life cycle assessment (LCA) examples, focusing on PVC production and recycling in China, highlighting the environmental impacts and benefits of using recycled PVC over primary PVC production.
