  • Patent number: 11465953
    Abstract: A method for purification of a styrene-containing feedstock includes steps of introducing the styrene-containing feedstock into the middle of an extractive distillation column, and a solvent for the extractive distillation into the upper part of the column; discharging a raffinate oil from the top of the column, and a rich solvent rich in styrene from the bottom of the column. The rich solvent is then introduced into the middle of the solvent recovery column for vacuum distillation to obtain a crude styrene from the top of the solvent recovery column, and a lean solvent is discharged from the bottom of the solvent recovery column and recycled to the upper part of the extractive distillation column. A portion of the rich solvent is sent to a solvent purification zone for a liquid-liquid extraction using water to obtain a mixture of a styrene polymer and styrene.

  • Publication number: 20220315066
    Abstract: A heat dissipation system for a high-speed train running in a low-vacuum tube is provided. Component groups that provide power and resistance for the movement and stop of a train are provided at a periphery, close to the train, in a low-vacuum tube. The component group is provided with a group A cooling assembly. The group A cooling assembly includes a group A cooling-type heat exchanger and/or a group A nozzle assembly attached to the back of the component group. Since the friction between the train running at high speed and the air in the low-vacuum tube and the operation of the key equipment in the low-vacuum tube will generate a lot of heat, the group A cooling assembly in the component group in the low-vacuum tube exchanges the heat with the air in the low-vacuum tube.
