METHOD FOR PRODUCING PHENOL FROM BIOMASS FEEDSTOCK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for efficiently producing phenol from biomass at a low cost.SOLUTION: The present invention provides the method for producing phenol, which includes the steps of: directly pulverizing a biomass feedstock derived from palm trees by applying mechanical energy, to reduce the molecular weight thereof; and subjecting the biomass feedstock reduced in molecular weight to thermal decomposition treatment.
