K. Jeremic et Ja. Jovanovic, POLYMERIZATION OF OIL OBTAINED BY NAPHTHA STEAM PYROLYSIS, Erdol und Kohle, Erdgas, Petrochemie vereinigt mit Brennstoff-Chemie, 46(11), 1993, pp. 430-434
The residual pyrolysis oil boiling above 200-degrees-C which is produc
ed as a by-product of naphtha steam pyrolysis was polymerized to give
a highly aromatic resin. 22 components of the oil were unambiguously i
dentified. Among them were styrene, alpha-methylstyrene, indene, 4-, 5
- and 6-methyl-indene, beta- and alpha-vinylnaphthalene and acenaphthy
lene, the polymerization kinetics of which was determined by GC-chroma
tography The polymerization product was separated by boiling ethanol i
nto the unpolymerized oil and the resin and the possible use of them w
as discussed.
