Procedure

In this example, the reaction temperature was set to 240° C., 280° C. and 320° C., respectively. The experimental results were described as follows. When the reaction temperature was 240° C., the selectivity of crude phenol was 100%. However, the increased reaction temperature caused hydrogenation of crude phenol to form cyclohexanone, cyclohexene and even cyclohexane. Thus, in order to produce crude phenol with a high yield, the reaction temperature was set to 240° C. An increase in the reaction temperature caused a low yield of crude phenol.
