フェノールの製造方法

摘要

A process for producing phenol is described in which a feed comprising cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide is contacted with a cleavage catalyst comprising an aluminosilicate zeolite of the FAU type having a unit cell size less than 24.50 Å under cleavage conditions effective to convert at least part of the cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide into phenol and cyclohexanone.
