Abstract
Organic residue and carbonized solid producing from the thermal degradation gave a influence on oil conversion, formation of styrene and side products such as ${\alpha}-methyl$ styrene, ethyl benzene, dimer. Thus, new reaction system using wetted-wall type reactor was proposed and examined on influence of various parameters such as reaction temperature, feeding rate and removal velocity of formed vapor. Optimum condition were obtained from continuous thermal degradation using wetted-wall type reactor and styrene was continuously obtained as the yield up 65%.
