Reaction Steps
Manufacture of phenol is a two-step process, first reacting cumene and sodium carbonate with oxygen in air to produce a cumene hydroperoxide. The crude hydroperoxide and a dilute acid are fed to a cleavage reactor, which produces phenol and an acetone by-product. The phenol is distilled and purified. Cumene from the first reactor is recycled back to the process.
