Executive Summary.docx

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Styrene is very important monomer for polymer industry , which produced by catalytic dehydrogenation and peroxidation process . it is produced from ethylbenzene with endothermic reversible reaction .it is colorless oily liquid also it is easy polymerizing because of carbon double bond It is a good solvent for synthetic rubber, polystyrene, and other non-cross-linked high polymers.it is used for polystyrene production which is widely used because it is easy and inexpensive . its production started in 1930th then in 2010 the total annual production of styrene made 26.4 million metric tones which estimated to be increased in 2020 to 41 million metric tones worldwide.

Dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene is the most common in production of styrene. The reaction is carried out in vapor process and
