什么是苯酚?
苯酚是一种芳香族化合物,在室温下以白色结晶形式存在。它包含强氢键,这使得它比酒精更易溶于水,并且与具有相似分子量的其他碳氢化合物相比具有更高的沸点。它本质上呈弱酸性和腐蚀性,以无色液体或白色固体形式存在。它在光线下慢慢变暗,并具有特有的甜味。苯酚最初是透过苯磺化和氯化的合成过程生产的。目前,它是由苯和丙烯转化为异丙苯,然后将其氧化成过氧化异丙苯,然后水解形成苯酚来製造的。
苯酚的主要用途
苯酚在商业上以正己基间苯二酚的形式出售,通常掺入止咳药水和糖浆以及其他防腐剂中。它也用于合成丁基羟基甲苯(BHT),该物质无毒,是各种食品中的常见抗氧化剂。它被添加到漱口水和家用清洁剂中,以限制各种致病微生物的生长。它经常被用作杀粘菌剂,这是一种广谱抗菌农药,用于杀死产生黏液的微生物,如藻类、细菌和真菌。苯酚用于製造各种艺术和工艺品、人体彩绘、闪光粉和其他玩具化妆品。它还在製药工业中用作疫苗的防腐剂,以保持其功效。它也用于製造口服止痛药、喉咙和鼻腔喷雾剂以及内嵌脚趾甲的手术。它被用作多种个人护理产品的温和防腐剂,例如肥皂、除臭剂、止汗剂、洗髮精、牙膏和爽肤水。它也被注射到肌肉中,以防止肌肉痉挛的发生,从而妨碍行走能力。此外,由于苯酚易于取得、具有成本效益且可以大量购买,全球对苯酚的需求正在增加。

What is Phenol?
Phenol is an aromatic compound that occurs in a white crystalline form at room temperature. It comprises strong hydrogen bonds, which makes it more soluble in water than alcohol and possesses higher boiling points as compared to other hydrocarbons with similar molecular weight. It is mildly acidic and caustic in nature and occurs either as a colorless liquid or white solid. It darkens slowly on exposure to light and possesses a characteristically sweet odor. Phenol was initially manufactured through a synthetic process involving the sulfonation and chlorination of benzene. It is currently manufactured from benzene and propylene by converting them into cumene, then oxidizing it into cumene hyperoxide, and hydrolyzing it to form phenol.
Major Applications of Phenol
Phenol is commercially available as n-hexylresorcinol, which is often incorporated in cough drops and syrups, and other antiseptic applications. It is also used in the synthesis of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), which is non-toxic and a common antioxidant in various food products. It is incorporated into mouthwashes and household cleaners to restrict the growth of various disease-causing microorganisms. It is often utilized as a slimicide which is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial pesticide used to kill slime-producing microorganisms, such as algae, bacteria, and fungi. Phenol is employed in the manufacturing of a wide variety of arts and crafts supplies, body paints, glitters, and other play cosmetics. It is also employed in the pharmaceutical industry as a preservative in vaccines to retain their efficiency. It is also utilized in manufacturing oral analgesics, throat and nasal sprays, and surgeries for ingrown toenails. It is utilized as a gentle preservative for a wide variety of personal care products, such as soaps, deodorants, antiperspirants, shampoos, toothpaste, and toners. It is also injected into muscles to prevent the occurrence of muscle spasticity, which hampers the ability to walk.
