Procedure

The feed stream thus introduced into the reactor is caused to flow downwardly through the reactor in a co-current flow mode, passing through the catalyst bed where the styrene and 1-octene are hydrogenated to yield a product stream comprising ethylbenzene and n-octane, respectively. This product stream is then cooled and separated into gas and liquid products, with the liquid product being analyzed to determine the conversion efficiency of the reactor.
