Abstract
Abstract STYRENE IS PREPARED BY CATALYTICALLY DEHYDRATING AMETHYLBENZYL ALCOHOL IN THE VAPOR PHASE, AT A TEMPERATURE ABOVE ABOUT 2560*C., IN THE PRESENCE OF CONTROLLED AMOUNTS OF ADDED STEAM. IN ONE EMBODIMENT, THE DEHYDRATION IS EFFECTED IN A VERTICALLY-ORIENTED CATALYSTCONTAINING REACTION ZONE, THROUGH WHICH THE SUBSTRATE ALCOHOL PASSES UPWARDLY. EVERY 75 TO 500 HOURS, THE CATALYST IS REACTIVATED BY PASSING AN AROMATIC HYDROCARBON THROUGH THE REACTOR ZONE.
