METHOD OF MAKING HIGH PURITY PHENOL

摘要

A method of manufacturing a phenol product having a reduced concentration of a contaminating reaction by-product. The method includes contacting a phenol stream, having a concentration of the contaminating by-product, by contacting the phenol stream with an acidic catalyst under suitable purification reaction conditions. Also included is a composition comprising a sec-butyl benzene derived phenol product that has been purified by the removal of certain undesirable reaction by-products.
