This process for the production of phenol consumes benzene and chemical grade propylene as the main ingredients. This process is known as hydroperoxidation process. The process intiates with the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene with propylene to form cumene as an intermediate. Cumene (isopropylbenzene) is oxidized in the presence of air to give cumene hydroperoxide. Finally, cumene hydroperoxide is treated with dilute acid to produce Phenol.
