Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chemical engineering, and more specifically, relates to a method and system for decolorizing crude styrene. Background Technology

[0002] In existing crude styrene decolorization units, inorganic acid decolorization devices are used, and acid washing, alkali washing, and water washing processes are employed. The saline wastewater generated in this process is difficult to treat, causing great trouble to the operation of the unit.

[0003] US3763015 discloses a method for separating styrene from cracked gasoline. In this method, the cracked gasoline is first distilled to recover a fraction with a boiling point between 120°C and 160°C. This fraction is then extractively distilled with an organic polar solvent containing a nitrite polymerization inhibitor that dissolves styrene. The solvent is removed, and the styrene-containing fraction is treated with nitric acid, followed by washing with water or an alkali. The resulting product is fractionated to recover substantially colorless, high-purity styrene.

[0004] As can be seen from the existing technologies, the current methods for decolorizing crude styrene only involve acid washing, alkali washing, and water washing, and do not provide an effective treatment method for the wastewater generated during the decolorization process.
