A novel process (SODECO2 process) for the manufacturing of styrene monomer was proposed through the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene with CO 2 as an oxidant. The main role of CO 2 was demonstrated to play the function of hydrogen abstraction from alkyl chain of alkylaromatics, in this process ethylbenzene, and due to the enhanced activity and selectivity over the catalysts that are capable of activating CO 2 to generate atomic surface oxygen. The CO 2 feedstock for SODECO2 process is not necessary to be highly purified, but it can be petrochemical CO 2, which is the by-products from oxidation or reforming processes, without further purification. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 227th ACS National Meeting (Anaheim, CA 3/28/2004-4/1/2004).
