It is desirable to change the shape of the catalyst as appropriate depending on the reaction and reactor, such as a rib shape.

ことを特徴とするスチレンの製造方法を提供するもので
ある。As described above, the present invention produces styrene by dehydrogenating ethylbenzene in the presence of a dehydrogenation catalyst containing a potassium component and steam, and carbon dioxide and/or monoxide is added to this dehydrogenation reaction system. The present invention provides a method for producing styrene characterized by supplying carbon.

Moreover, excessive supply promotes the decomposition of ethylbenzene and styrene by oxidation, which is not preferable.
