Simulation and Optimization of Styrene Monomer Production Using Neural Network

Adsorption of styrene monomer on activated carbon.

Styrene is discharged particulary from the factories of styrene resin and synthetic rubber, and it was listed as one of the offensive odor substances by the Offensive Odor Control Law in Japan at 1976. Styrene vapor has stimulating action on eye (STEWART et al. 1968) and membrana of nose and trachea (STEPHENSON & FOSDICK 1960). It has toxic effects on blood cells and liver (KATZ 1962), and nerv...

industrial production, inportance and uses of styrene monomer

the increasing use of styrene, for the production of thermoplastics and rubbers, has given a special importance to this vital materialin petrochemical industries. more than 95 per cent of styrene production in the world is by dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene. present styrene production units are basically designed on the basis of 1940s units. producing countries and related research centres have...

Facts about Gas Poisoning

on this subject, perhaps you will allow me to point out that, although every new coal-gas fatality brings yet louder protests from an anxious public, yet it is obvious that the facts are still not generally understood. Carbon monoxide, the poisonous constituent, has always formed a part of coal-gas since it was first introduced to the public service. The impression that the Companies have recen...
