Question:
Styrene can be made by catalytic dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene. The reaction is usually carried out in the presence of steam, which acts as a heat carrier and reduces coking on the catalyst. If a mixture of steam and ethylbenzene is fed to an adiabatic reactor at 2 bar, 640 °C, estimate the equilibrium conversion and outlet temperature as a function of the ratio of steam to ethylbenzene. What ratio would you recommend using in practice?
