The Development Trend of Phenol

Phenol is an important basic organic raw materials, the application of synthetic resin, pesticides and many other areas are wide. In recent years, China's market demand for phenol is relatively strong, and domestic production can not meet the demand, some domestic enterprises have invested to expand the production capacity of phenol, but China's phenol production can not have a more substantial growth. According to the analysis, the main reason is the lack of supply of raw materials.

At present, most of China's phenol production process is cumene, benzene and propylene as the starting material, under the action of the catalyst, use phenol alkylation technology to produce. And propylene is currently relatively scarce resources in China, which will seriously restrict the scale of China's phenol production to further expand.
