Reaction Steps

A 10-liter reactor as for the previous Example is charged with 4,255.8 g of phenol, 813 g of water and 42 g of titanium silicalite. As the system has reached its thermal equilibrium, there are added 675.2 g of 60% H2O2. After three hours of reaction there are obtained 250 g of pyrocatechol, 318 g of hydroquinone and 157 g of tarry by-products.
