Patent ID: 11976039

Abstract:
Method of producing aromatic hydrocarbons including: supplying a raw material stream to a C6 separation column, supplying an upper discharge stream from the C6 separation column to a first gasoline hydrogenation unit, and supplying a lower discharge stream from the C6 separation column to a C7 separation column; supplying an upper discharge stream from the C7 separation column to a hydrodealkylation reaction unit and supplying a lower discharge stream from the C7 separation column to a C8 separation column; separating benzene from discharged streams from the first gasoline hydrogenation unit and the hydrodealkylation reaction unit; removing a lower discharge stream from the C8 separation column and supplying an upper discharge stream from the C8 separation column to a second extractive distillation column; and separating styrene from a lower discharge stream of the second extractive distillation column and separating xylene from an upper discharge stream of the second extractive distillation column.
