Usually the PET and PVC bottles are separated by manual before they are washed by washing recycling line. Because the PET and PVC bottles' color, shape, usage are very different, it is very easy to distinguish by manual.
But if the mixed PET and PVC flakes, it is very hard to separated by traditional way. But because of their color different, now they can separated by optical sorter.
Tg of PVC is about 85°C.

No, PVC is quite resistant to chemical attack. If you use the acid properly, you shouldn't have to worry about it at all.
Cyclohexanone is used in PVC cement primarily as a solvent. It effectively dissolves PVC (polyvinyl chloride), allowing the cement to penetrate and bond the surfaces being joined. This solvent action facilitates a strong chemical bond as the PVC materials fuse together during the drying process, ensuring a durable and reliable joint. Additionally, cyclohexanone's relatively low volatility helps maintain the working time before the cement sets.
The only way to do it, professionally, is DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) But what most of everybody does is a lot more simple. Put a handful of PET flakes in an aluminum tray, put it in your kitchen oven (when your wife is not around) heat it up at 210° C for 20 minutes. If you see black spots this is PVC. If flakes only turn yellow, you still have glue. If flakes remain clear you are in very good shape.
Do the flame test; if you burn PVC, the flame will turn green at some point. The weight of them are different ,PVC is little heavy than PET .

No, plastic bottles typically do not contain silicone. Plastic bottles are usually made of materials such as PET, HDPE, or PVC, while silicone is a separate material commonly used for its flexibility and heat resistance in various products like bakeware, kitchen utensils, and medical devices.
To remove PVC from a fitting, you can use a heat gun or a hair dryer to soften the PVC material. Once softened, gently twist and pull the PVC pipe out of the fitting. Be careful not to overheat the PVC, as it can release harmful fumes.

PVC bottles themselves are articles and not covered under hazard communication requirements. If you are involved in making them, the raw materials used are subject to the regualtions, as are the contents if you are involved in filling or handling them when full.

To remove a PVC pipe from a fitting, you can use a heat gun to soften the PVC material and then twist and pull the pipe out of the fitting. Alternatively, you can use a PVC pipe cutter to cut the pipe close to the fitting and then remove the remaining piece. Be sure to wear protective gear and work in a well-ventilated area when working with PVC and heat tools.
To repair a PVC pipe, you can use a PVC pipe cutter to remove the damaged section, clean the area, apply PVC primer and cement, then connect a new piece of PVC pipe using a PVC coupling or repair fitting.

To remove PVC fittings effectively, you can use a heat gun to soften the PVC material, making it easier to twist and pull the fitting off. Alternatively, you can use a PVC pipe cutter to cut the fitting off. Be sure to wear protective gear and follow safety precautions when working with PVC materials.
