PRODUCTION OF STYRENE MONOMER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing styrene monomer using a low-cost catalyst which sparingly diminishes its activity, in producing styrene monomer by catalytic reaction of ethylene with carbon dioxide. SOLUTION: Styrene monomer is obtained by catalytic reaction of ethylene with carbon dioxide at 500-650 deg.C in the presence of a catalyst comprising iron oxides, calcium oxide, and aluminum oxide.
