Introduction
The production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a critical process in the chemical industry, owing to its extensive use in various applications such as construction, healthcare, and consumer goods. PVC is synthesized through the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), a process that requires precise control to ensure the desired quality and properties of the final product. This predictive capability is crucial for improving process efficiency, reducing production costs, and ensuring product consistency. In this article, we focus on the development of a mathematical model for the polymerization reactor used in PVC production. The model is based on an initial data set that includes various operational parameters and chemical properties [1].
Steps of developing mathematical model of this process.
Creating a mathematical model of the PVC polymerization process in a batch reactor and finding its transfer function involves several steps. Below, I'll outline a general approach and derive the key equations and transfer function [2]
Step 1: Define the Process and Assumptions Reactants: Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) and initiator. Reactor type: Batch reactor. CO Key assumptions:
CO • The reactor is well-mixed (perfect mixing).

• Temperature is constant (isothermal conditions).
• The reaction kinetics follow a known rate law.
• The polymerization process is first-order with respect to the initiator and VCM concentrations [3]
Step 2: Write the Governing Equations
The polymerization of VCM can be described by the following kinetic equations: 1. Monomer consumption (1):
® = -M^][/] (1)
where [M] is the monomer concentration, [/] is the initiator concentration, and kp is the rate constant for polymerization [4].
Initiator consumption:
f = -M/] (2)
where kd is the rate constant for initiator decomposition. Polymer production
^ = kp[M][/] (3)
Where [P] - is the concentration of the polymer
Step 3: Combine the Equations
Assuming the initiator concentration is much smaller than the monomer concentration and remains relatively constant (pseudo-steady-state approximation):
[l]»[l]oe~kdt
The monomer concentration changes over time as:
d[M] . ,
-LJ. =-kp[M][I]0e-k^
If we calculate the integral of this equation over the function [M](t) and exponentiate both sides of the equation, we get the following equation:
-[M](t) = [M]0exp(-(1 - e-kdt)) (4)
Step 4: Transfer Function
To derive the transfer function, we need to linearize the model around an operating point and apply Laplace transforms [5]
1. Linearization:
Let ( t)=Mo+SM(t) and I( t)=/o+SI( t) Linearize around the steady-state concentrations Mo and /o
2. Laplace Transform: Apply Laplace transforms to the linearized equations:
= -kpZ[SM(t)Io + MoSI(t)} (5)
Let A(s)and A I(s) be the Laplace transforms of SM(t)and SI( t), respectively. The Laplace transform of the above equation is:
sAM(s)=-kp(I0AM(s)+M0AI(s))
3.Transfer Function: Solving for AM(s) in terms of AI(s):
A M(s)(s+kpIo)=-kpMoA I(s)
The transfer function is G(s)= AM(s)/ A I(s):
G(s) =
A[M](s) kpM o
A/(s) s + kvl0
Necessary values of parametres
• Rate constant for polymerization (kp): 2*103 L/mol
• Rate constant for initiator decomposition (kd): 5^10-4 s-1
• Initial concentration of monomer ([M]o): 8mol/L
• Initial concentration of initiator ([I]o): 0.05 mol/L
• Reactor temperature: 60°C
• Reactor volume (V): 5 L
From the previous derivation, the transfer function was:
A[M](s) kpM0
G(s) =
M(s) s + kvl0
Substituting the values:
G(s) =
-2 * 1000*8 _ -16000 s + 2 * 1000 * 0.05 = s + 100
This transfer function describes the dynamic response of the monomer concentration to changes in the initiator concentration for the given set of physical parameters [6]

Conclusion
In this study, we have successfully developed a mathematical model of the polymerization reactor for the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) based on initial data sets. By leveraging key parameters and reaction kinetics, we have formulated differential equations that describe the dynamic behavior of monomer, initiator, and polymer concentrations within the reactor. The model was implemented and simulated using MATLAB, providing a comprehensive framework for analyzing the polymerization process.
