Background
Styrene is an important bulk basic organic raw material, is mainly used for producing synthetic resins and rubber, and the industrial production method of more than 85 percent is an ethylbenzene catalytic dehydrogenation method. Based on the wide use of styrene, the production of styrene in various countries in the world develops rapidly. According to the statistics of the global styrene capacity in 2018, the total capacity is 3397.9 ten thousand tons, the total capacity is mainly concentrated in five major areas of northeast Asia, North America, Western Europe, the middle east Asia and southeast Asia, the total capacity is 3226.8 ten thousand tons, the occupation ratio is up to 95%, and the capacity of other areas is less. In 2019, the capacity of China is 925.5 ten thousand tons, and the method is the largest styrene producing country in the world.
For the important petrochemical catalytic process of preparing styrene by ethylbenzene dehydrogenation, the catalyst plays a critical role in the production of styrene, and the quality of the catalyst determines the economy of the dehydrogenation process. The research, development and updating of the ethylbenzene dehydrogenation catalyst are continuously developed from the 30 s in the 20 th century, the basic components of the existing catalyst are Fe/K/Ce/Mo composite/mixed oxides, the performance of the existing commercial styrene catalyst prepared by ethylbenzene dehydrogenation is relatively close to a thermodynamic equilibrium value and reaches a quite high level, and the performance of the catalyst is not easily improved to a great extent by continuously improving the formula of the catalyst.

However, the catalyst contains vanadium, which causes environmental pollution.
Chinese patent CN100443170C discloses a catalyst for preparing styrene by ethylbenzene dehydrogenation and its preparation method, wherein the side pressure strength of the catalyst is not less than 25N/mm, but because the catalyst is added with 1% -9% of cement and silica gel as reinforcing agents, these reinforcing agents are generally acidic substances, which are easy to cause side reactions such as cracking, etc., thereby affecting the selectivity of the catalyst.
On the other hand, styrene devices tend to be large-scale, the original old devices are expanded and modified by adding one reactor and changing two sections into three sections, while the styrene prepared by ethylbenzene dehydrogenation is a reaction for increasing the number of molecules, the higher the vacuum degree of the device is, the more beneficial the styrene is to be generated, the pressure drop of a bed layer is increased along with the increase of the thickness of the catalyst bed layer or the poor compressive strength of the catalyst, the pulverization is easy, the conversion rate is directly influenced, and then most of the styrene devices introduced in the early stage in China have the problems that a compressor is aged, a combined heat exchanger is seriously blocked, the conversion rate and the selectivity level of the catalyst are difficult to give full play, the energy consumption and the material consumption of the device are high, and the like.
