At present, in the production process of existing polyurethane foam, it is necessary to add an anti-heartburn agent to inhibit excessive foaming and heating of polyurethane foam. In the chemical reaction of foam production, due to the high-temperature reaction process of the polymer matrix, the anti-heartburn agent can effectively control the density and uniformity of the foam; however, polyurethane foam is prone to combustion in a high-temperature environment or when encountering an open flame, and releases a large amount of harmful gases; At present, the existing polyurethane foam anti-heartburn agents improve the fire resistance of the foam by adding flame retardants, but many flame retardants will gradually release organic compounds (VOCs) during the use and aging of the polyurethane foam.

[0029] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the optimization method of the low-VOC environmentally friendly polyurethane foam anti-heartburn agent involved includes the following steps: Step S1: Perform data preprocessing based on the collected production data that matches the VOC emissions, and then establish a VOC emission inventory database.

[0031] Among them, the production data matching the VOC emissions are the data of each stage of the life cycle of the polyurethane foam anti-heartburn agent, specifically including: in the raw material acquisition stage, data such as the type and source of raw materials, energy consumption during transportation, and raw material composition are collected; in the production process stage, energy consumption (such as electricity, natural gas, etc.) and emissions (such as CO2, NOx, VOC, etc.) in the production process are collected; in the use stage, the energy efficiency, emissions and possible volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions of the product during use are collected; in the waste treatment stage, waste treatment after the end of the product life cycle is collected, such as energy consumption, emissions and VOC emissions during the decomposition process of recycling, landfill or incineration.

[0032] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 As shown, in step S1, the method includes the following steps: Step S11: Collect production data matching VOC emissions from each stage of the life cycle of the polyurethane foam anti-heartburn agent, wherein each stage of the life cycle includes one or more of raw material acquisition, production process, use and waste disposal, and the production data includes one or more of raw material composition, energy consumption and emissions at each stage, and decomposition emissions at the use and waste stages.

[0033] Among them, the raw material composition includes the chemical composition of the raw materials and their possible volatile organic compound (VOC) release potential; the energy consumption in each link includes recording the amount of energy used in each link (such as electricity, heat, fossil fuels, etc.); emissions include emissions of gases such as CO2, NOx, SOx and VOC; decomposition emissions in the use and disposal stages include VOC emissions in the use and disposal stages calculated based on the properties of the materials and environmental conditions.

[0034] Step S12: performing data cleaning and standardization processing on the production data, wherein the data cleaning includes: outlier processing and missing value processing.

[0035] Among them, during data cleaning and standardization, outliers and missing values ​​are removed, and then the data format is unified to ensure data consistency.

[0036] Step S13: performing unit unification processing on the production data.

[0037] Among them, emission data from different sources are converted into unified units.

[0038] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, after the data preprocessing is completed, the method further includes the following steps: Step S14: Calculate the VOC emission factor of each production stage based on the production data after data preprocessing.

[0039] Step S15: Combine the activity data of raw material acquisition, production process, use stage and waste treatment stage with all calculated VOC emission factors to generate a VOC emission inventory database, which at least includes: stage description, VOC emission factors and activity data.

[0040] Specifically, the VOC emission factor calculation formula is used to calculate the VOC emission factor for each production stage, and the VOC emission factor calculation formula is: , where EF is the VOC emission factor, which represents the VOC emission per unit of production output. is the VOC emission during the production stage or treatment process, It is the activity level in the production stage, usually the output or consumption; for example, assuming that in the production process of polyurethane foam, 50gVOC will be emitted for every 1kg of foam material produced, thus, the VOC emission factor is: EF is 50gVOC / kg foam material.

[0041] Specifically, the establishment of the VOC emission inventory database is to organize and integrate the VOC emission factors of each production, processing link and each stage of the life cycle to form a systematic database for subsequent analysis, tracing and optimization; Emission inventory framework: The construction of the emission inventory needs to cover all links in each life cycle stage. For each stage, the content includes: description of the main process or activities of the stage, the VOC emission factors of each link, and the activity level data of each link, such as output, material consumption, energy consumption, etc.; by collecting and calculating the VOC emission factors of each link, combined with the actual activity level of each link (output, consumption, etc.), calculate the VOC emissions of each link. The specific calculation formula is: ,in, is the total VOC emissions at a certain stage in the entire life cycle, is the VOC emission factor of the i-th stage, is the activity level of the ith stage, and n is the total number of stages in the life cycle. For example, assuming that it is necessary to calculate the VOC emission inventory database for the stages of polyurethane foam raw material acquisition, production process, and waste treatment, then: 1. Raw material acquisition stage: VOC emission factor: 10gVOC / kg raw material; Activity data: 1000kg of raw materials used per hour; VOC emissions: 10gVOC / kg×1000kg=10000gVOC 2. Production process stage: VOC emission factor: 50gVOC / kg raw material; Activity data: 200kg of polyurethane foam is produced per hour; VOC emissions: 50gVOC / kg×200kg=10000gVOC 3. Raw material acquisition stage: VOC emission factor: 5gVOC / kg raw material; Activity data: 50kg of polyurethane foam waste is processed per hour; VOC emissions: 5gVOC / kg×50kg=250gVOC Then, the VOC emissions of each stage calculated above, the description of each stage and the activity data are combined to establish a VOC emission inventory database.

[0042] Step S2: Establish a life cycle model through the life cycle analysis method and use the sensitivity analysis method to obtain the sensitivity of VOC emissions at each stage of the life cycle, and then use the multi-objective optimization method to perform stage optimization based on the sensitivity.

[0043] Among them, life cycle analysis (LCA) is a method to evaluate the environmental impact (such as VOC emissions, energy consumption, etc.) of products, processes or services throughout their life cycle. To establish a life cycle model to quantify VOC emissions, we must first ensure that in each life cycle stage (raw material acquisition, production process, transportation, use stage, waste disposal), all emission data and activity data can be accurately input and integrated, and finally calculate the total VOC emissions.

[0044] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 As shown, in step S2, the method includes the following steps: Step S21: Calculate VOC emissions during the mining, transportation, and storage process during the raw material acquisition stage: ,in is the VOC emission during the raw material acquisition stage, is the VOC emission factor of the i-th raw material in the raw material acquisition stage, is the activity amount of the ith raw material in the raw material acquisition stage.

[0045] Step S22: Calculate the VOC emissions from chemical reactions, heating processes, and raw material mixing production activities during the production process: ,in is the VOC emission during the generation process, is the VOC emission factor of the ith production link in the generation process, is the activity volume of the ith production link in the generation process stage.

[0046] Step S23: Calculate the VOC emissions during the transportation phase from the raw material supplier to the production plant and from the product to the consumer: ,in is the VOC emission during the transportation stage, is the VOC emission factor of the ith transport link in the transport stage, is the activity volume of the ith transport link in the transport phase.

[0047] Step S24: Calculate VOC emissions related to energy consumption, chemical reactions, and release of volatile substances in the product during the use phase: ,in is the VOC emission during the use phase, is the VOC emission factor of the i-th use link in the use phase, is the activity amount of the ith usage link in the usage phase.

[0048] Step S25: Calculate the VOC emissions from the recycling, landfilling and incineration of products in the waste treatment stage: ,in is the VOC emission in the waste treatment stage, is the VOC emission factor of the i-th waste treatment link in the waste treatment stage, is the activity volume of the ith waste treatment link in the waste treatment stage.

[0049] Step S26: construct a life cycle model of the polyurethane foam anti-heartburn agent based on the above-mentioned raw material acquisition stage, production process stage, transportation stage, use stage and waste disposal stage.

[0050] Among them, after completing the calculation of VOC emissions at each life cycle stage, calculate the total VOC emissions: .

[0051] Therefore, a life cycle model was established based on the VOC emissions in the raw material acquisition stage, production process stage, transportation stage, use stage, and waste disposal stage of the above-mentioned polyurethane foam anti-heartburn agent.

[0052] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 As shown, after the life cycle model is established, the method further includes the following steps: Step S27: selecting parameters related to VOC emissions in each stage, the parameters including: one or more of the VOC emission factor of the raw material, reaction temperature, reaction time, and transportation emission factor.

[0053] Step S28: Calculate the impact of each parameter change on the total VOC emission, and generate the sensitivity of the parameters related to VOC emission at each stage to the VOC emission. The calculation formula is: ,in is the sensitivity coefficient of parameter i, indicating the response degree of VOC emission to the parameter. is the partial derivative of VOC emissions with respect to the change of the i-th parameter, indicating the rate of change of VOC emissions when the parameter changes. is the change of the ith parameter, is the total VOC emission.

[0054] The above formula is used to quantify the sensitivity of each parameter in each link of the life cycle of the polyurethane foam anti-heartburn agent to VOC emissions, and identify which parameter changes have the greatest impact on VOC emissions. For each parameter, local sensitivity analysis and global sensitivity analysis are used to determine its impact on VOC emissions. Local sensitivity analysis evaluates sensitivity by changing the value of each parameter individually and observing changes in VOC emissions. It is suitable for those who only care about the impact of a single factor on the result. Global sensitivity analysis considers the situation where multiple parameters change at the same time and comprehensively considers the relationship between each parameter. It is suitable for complex and multi-factor interactive situations.

[0055] Step S29: Based on the sensitivity of each parameter, a genetic method or a particle swarm optimization method is used to optimize the parameters of each stage of the polyurethane foam anti-heartburn agent under the premise of meeting the VOC emission standard.

[0056] Before using genetic method or particle swarm optimization method, construct the objective function: ,in is the overall objective function, is the objective function of VOC emissions, which usually represents the VOC emissions of the current formula or process; is the objective function of production cost, is the objective function of the anti-heartburn performance of the polyurethane foam anti-heartburn agent; is the weight of each goal, indicating the priority of each goal; set the optimization constraints: VOC emissions cannot exceed the prescribed upper limit to ensure that the product meets environmental standards; the amount of raw materials used is usually limited and must be within an acceptable range; and production costs must be within a predetermined budget.

[0057] Therefore, the genetic algorithm continuously optimizes the candidate solutions by simulating the evolution process of organisms, including operations such as selection, crossover, and mutation. The basic process is as follows: Generate a set of individuals, each of which represents a set of raw material ratios and process parameters; The fitness of each individual is evaluated through the objective function. The higher the fitness, the better the objective function value of the individual. Select excellent individuals based on fitness to generate the next generation; Through crossover operations (such as single-point crossover or multi-point crossover), the information of two individuals is exchanged to generate a new individual; Change part of the individual information through mutation operation to increase the diversity of the search space; The selection, crossover, and mutation process is repeated until the maximum number of iterations is reached or the convergence criteria are met.

[0058] Therefore, particle swarm optimization is an optimization algorithm that simulates group behavior and explores the optimal solution by adjusting the speed and position of particles. Its basic process is as follows: Initialize the particle swarm, where each particle represents a possible solution; Evaluate the fitness of each particle based on the objective function; Each particle updates its position and speed based on the historical best position and global best position of the current optimal parameter combination; In each generation update, all particles approach their own optimum and the global optimum, and gradually find the best solution with the minimum VOC emissions.

[0059] Step S3: converting the VOC emissions into environmental impact indicators using a preset environmental impact assessment method, optimizing the production process according to the environmental impact indicators, generating a VOC optimization model, and deploying the VOC optimization model.

[0060] Among them, environmental impact assessment is to convert different emissions (such as VOC emissions) into environmental impact indicators, and then quantify their impact on the environment and health. Common environmental impact assessment methods include the IPCC (International Climate Change Assessment) method, TRACI (Tools for Environmental Protection Agency in Environmental Impact Assessment), etc. These methods can quantitatively evaluate the contribution of VOC emissions in each life cycle stage to environmental indicators such as air quality, greenhouse gas effects, acidification, and ozone creation potential (OGP).

[0061] Among them, the IPCC method is mainly used to assess the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on climate change, which is usually estimated through greenhouse gas emission factors; the TRACI method can assess a variety of environmental impact categories, including acidification potential, ozone generation potential, ecotoxicity, resource consumption, etc.

[0062] Exemplarily, the TRACI method is used in the present application to evaluate VOC emissions.

[0063] Specifically, in step S3, VOC emissions are converted into impact values ​​for various environmental impact categories, such as ozone creation potential and acidification potential in the TRACI method, and are associated with indicators such as air quality and human health, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the method further comprises the following steps: Step S32: Calculate ozone generation potential: ,in, is the ozone generation potential, is the ozone generation factor of VOC emissions, is the VOC emission.

[0064] Step S33: Calculate acidification potential: ,in, is the acidification potential, is the acidification factor of VOC emissions.

[0065] Step S34: Generate air quality and health indicators: ,in For the impact on air quality and health, is the impact coefficient of VOC on air quality and health.

[0066] Step S35: Generate a comprehensive impact score based on the ozone generation potential, acidification potential, and air quality and health indicators: ,in The weight coefficients corresponding to the ozone generation potential, acidification potential, and air quality and health indicators; For example, if the VOC emission is 1000g, assuming the ozone generation potential is 0.4gO3 equivalent / gVOC, the acidification factor is 0.2gSO2 equivalent / gVOC, and the health impact coefficient is 0.00005DALY / gVOC, then the ozone generation potential is 400gO3 equivalent, the acidification potential is 200SO2 equivalent, and the air quality and health index is 0.05DALY.

[0067] Furthermore, assuming that the results of the life cycle model analysis show that in the production process, VOC emissions in the reaction stage account for 50% of the total emissions, while the raw material procurement stage accounts for 30%. Therefore, through the feedback of the life cycle model, it can be determined that the optimization focus is on these two links.

[0068] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the method further comprises the following steps: Step S36: Based on the comprehensive impact score, the VOC emission factors of each raw material or reaction condition are compared to screen out raw materials or process conditions with a preset ranking.

[0069] Step S37: Under the premise of ensuring that the performance remains unchanged, the formulation is optimized by reducing the amount of the raw material and / or introducing low-VOC alternative raw materials, or, the emission is reduced by lowering the process condition parameters or introducing VOC recovery equipment.

[0070] Among them, process condition parameters include but are not limited to reaction temperature and pressure, reaction time, and catalyst dosage; VOC recovery equipment includes but is not limited to adsorption equipment, condensation recovery equipment, and other equipment that can capture and recover VOC.

[0071] Step S38: After each optimization, the output of the VOC optimization model is dynamically fed back into the optimization strategy to further optimize the formulation or process conditions.

[0072] Specifically, based on the preliminary life cycle model analysis results, preliminary adjustments are made to the formula or production process conditions; after the adjustments, the optimized VOC emissions are re-evaluated through the life cycle model and the total VOC emissions in each stage after optimization are calculated, and then the formula or process is adjusted again according to the new life cycle model analysis results to further reduce VOC emissions.
