The invention relates to a decoloring method for reclaiming
styrene by means of extraction and rectification, which mainly solves the problems of a large quantity of
solid waste and complex technology caused by adoption of gumbrine for decolorization or high
equipment requirement and complex flow caused by adoption of a
nitric acid for decolorization. The decoloring method comprises the following steps: a decoloring agent is added into a
solvent and mixed and dissolved to obtain a material one; the material one and
styrene-bearing raw oil enter into the upper part and the middle part of a rectification
tower respectively; light constituents the
boiling point of which is lower than that of the
styrene are rectified on the top of the
tower, and the
chrominance of the light constituents is less than or equal to 100 as calculated by the
platinum-
cobalt chrominance unit; a mixture material two of the styrene and the
solvent is obtained at the bottom of the
tower, wherein the decoloring agent is selected from at least one of an
organic acid or organic anhydride, and the
solvent is selected from at least one among polar solvents the
boiling point of which is more than 160 DEG C; the material two enters into the middle of a solvent reclaiming tower, coarse styrene the
chrominance of which is less than or equal to 10 as calculated by the
platinum-
cobalt chrominance unit is rectified on the top of the tower, and a reclaimed solvent is obtained at the bottom of the tower; and the coarse styrene enters into the middle of a refined styrene tower, pure styrene the chrominance of which is less than or equal to 10 as calculated by the
platinum-
cobalt chrominance unit is rectified on the top of the tower, and heavy constituents the
boiling point of which is higher than that of the styrene are obtained at the bottom of the tower. The technical proposal well solves the problems.
