PURPOSE:To provide a method for producing phenols with ultrahigh economical efficiency by partial oxidation of aromatic compounds in which low selectivity in conventional direct oxidative reaction with oxygen is improved and electric power, as necessary, is taken out to the outside of the reactional system by using a fuel cell system. CONSTITUTION:The subject method is to produce a partial oxide of an aromatic compound as follows. A proton conductor membrane is used and a catalyst electrode composed of a metal and/or its compound is used as a positive pole. An electrode composed of a carbonaceous conductor presubjected to oxidation treatment with nitric acid, sulfuric acid, air heating, permanganic acid, etc., and a metal or its compound is employed as a negative pole to introduce hydrogen into the positive pole compartment and oxygen and benzene into the negative pole compartment. Both electrodes are then short-circuited with a lead wire to advance fuel cell reaction. |
