Introduction of Alkyl Phenol Production Process

Alkyl Phenol are important raw materials and intermediates in the field of fine chemicals, which can be obtained by alkylation of phenol and olefins. It can be used for the creation of non-ionic surfactants, preservatives, mineral flotation agents, resin modifiers, textile auxiliaries and oil emulsifier.

Alkyl Phenol Production Process use the catalyst mainly ion exchange resin, boron trifluoride, activated clay. The mechanics of this alkylation of phenol with olefins is offered by the acidic catalyst H +, H + transferred to the olefin fraction, the formation of tertiary carbon ions and phenol reaction alkyl phenol, and the release of H +, and then proceed with the role of olefins. In the reaction, the alkyl group passes the ortho, para position, and also the ortho-alkyl group can be transferred into the para position under the action of the acidic catalyst, therefore the primary item is the para-alkylphenol.
