PROCESS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CRUDE PHENOL FORMED IN THE LIQUEFACTION OF COAL

摘要

1. A process for the treatment of crude phenol which has been recovered in accordance with the phenoraffin process from phenol-containing fractions from the liquefaction of coal, characterized in that the phenols are separated by distillation from high-boiling accompanying substances, reacted with diluted acid and subsequently subjected to a fractionated distillation and the phenol and o-cresol fractions obtained are subjected to crystallization.
