Methods Of Purification Of Organic Compounds

Styrene is primarily a synthetic chemical. It is also known as vinylbenzene,ethenylbenzene, cinnamene or phenylethylene. It's a colorless liquid that evaporates easily and has a sweet smell. Styrene can be purified by Vacuum distillation. Vacuum distillation is the process of lowering the pressure in the column above the solvent to less than the vapor pressure of the mixture, creating a vacuum, and causing the elements with lower vapor pressures to evaporate off.

Styrene can be purified by vaccum distillation.
