Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing styrene by dehydrogenating ethylbenzene. Background technique
[0002] The main reaction for the dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene is C 6 h 5 -C 2 h 5 →C 6 h 5 CH=CH 2 +H 2 +124KJ / mol. From a thermodynamic point of view, reducing the partial pressure of ethylbenzene is beneficial to the balance, so water vapor is usually added in industry to promote the reaction to move toward the product. The latest development trend of ethylbenzene dehydrogenation to styrene technology is to reduce raw material consumption and improve energy efficiency. The latent heat of vaporization of water is very large, and the styrene production process consumes a large amount of superheated steam as the dehydrogenation medium, which makes the process consume a lot of energy and the production cost remains high. It is an urgent need for styrene plants, especially large-scale styrene plants, to develop low water ratio catal...
