In recent years, China's market demand for phenol is more robust, due to a variety of factors affected by domestic and foreign markets, and its price showed a unilateral rise trend.
As China's phenol market demand for many years, and domestic production can not meet the demand. In recent years, some domestic enterprises have invested to expand the production capacity of phenol, but China's phenol production has not been able to have a more substantial growth. According to the analysis, the main reason is the lack of supply of raw materials for the production of phenol.
At present, China's phenol production process mostly is the cumene process, benzene and propylene as the starting material, under the action of the catalyst, the alkylation reaction was carried out to obtain phenol. And propylene is currently relatively scarce resources in China, which will seriously restrict the scale of China's phenol production to further expand. According to the analysis of the industry, this situation can not be changed in the short term.
