In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for producing aromatic compounds from pyrolysis gasoline includes hydrotreating a stream comprising the pyrolysis gasoline, thereby producing a hydrotreated pyrolysis gasoline stream comprising paraffins; aromatizing the hydrotreated pyrolysis gasoline stream comprising paraffins, thereby producing a stream comprising benzene-toluene-xylenes (BTX); and processing the stream comprising BTX in an aromatics recovery complex, thereby producing the aromatic compounds from the pyrolysis gasoline.

A method for preparing a purified styrene composition includes providing a crude hydrocarbon composition containing styrene, subjecting the crude hydrocarbon composition to a distillation in a divided-wall column to produce an overhead hydrocarbon stream, a bottom hydrocarbon stream and a side hydrocarbon stream and subjecting the side hydrocarbon stream to at least one crystallization step to obtain a purified styrene composition.

Method of producing pyrolysis products from a mixed plastics stream along with an associated system for processing mixed plastics. The method includes conducting pyrolysis of a plastic feedstock to produce a stream of plastic pyrolysis oil; feeding the plastic pyrolysis oil to an aromatization unit having an aromatization reactor with an aromatization catalyst disposed therein to generate an aromatics rich stream; and passing the aromatics rich stream to an aromatic recovery complex to separate the aromatics rich stream into a BTX fraction, a gasoline blending fraction, a gas fraction comprising hydrogen and C1-C4 hydrocarbons, and an aromatic bottoms fraction comprising hydrocarbons boiling above 180° C., where the BTX fraction consists of benzene, toluene and mixed xylenes and the gasoline blending fraction comprises aliphatic hydrocarbons with a boiling range from C5 hydrocarbon up to the aromatic bottoms fraction.
