Phenol is an important chemical compound since it is a precursor of the industrial production of many materials and useful compounds. Nowadays, phenol is industrially produced from benzene by the multi-step "cumene process", which is energy consuming due to high temperature and high pressure. Moreover, in the "cumene process”, the highly explosive cumene hydroperoxide is produced ...

A process for the decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide to phenol, acetone, and alpha-methylstyrene is presented. In this process, cumene hydroperoxide and sulfuric acid are reacted in a reflux cooled reactor the products of which are transported under inhibited conditions to a plug flow reactor, and are reacted to produce phenol, acetone, and alpha-methylstyrene.
