O- THE OPTIMIZATION OF O-SULFONATED PHENOL PRODUCTION FOR CUMENE HYDROPEROXIDE CLEAVAGE

摘要

The process for preparing a sulfonated phenol for use as a cumene hydroperoxide decomposition catalyst may comprise the steps of: combining a phenol and a sulfonating agent at a first temperature 1 to 15 0 C higher than the melting temperature of the phenol, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 1 / RTI Lowering the first temperature of the reaction mixture to a second temperature that is 10-40 0 C lower than the first temperature; And forming a sulfonated phenol at the second temperature.
