什麼是苯酚?
苯酚是一種芳香族化合物,在室溫下以白色結晶形式存在。它包含強氫鍵,這使得它比酒精更易溶於水,並且與具有相似分子量的其他碳氫化合物相比具有更高的沸點。它本質上呈弱酸性和腐蝕性,以無色液體或白色固體形式存在。它在光線下慢慢變暗,並具有特有的甜味。苯酚最初是透過苯磺化和氯化的合成過程生產的。目前,它是由苯和丙烯轉化為異丙苯,然後將其氧化成過氧化異丙苯,然後水解形成苯酚來製造的。
苯酚的主要用途
苯酚在商業上以正己基間苯二酚的形式出售,通常摻入止咳藥水和糖漿以及其他防腐劑中。它也用於合成丁基羥基甲苯(BHT),該物質無毒,是各種食品中的常見抗氧化劑。它被添加到漱口水和家用清潔劑中,以限制各種致病微生物的生長。它經常被用作殺粘菌劑,這是一種廣譜抗菌農藥,用於殺死產生黏液的微生物,如藻類、細菌和真菌。苯酚用於製造各種藝術和工藝品、人體彩繪、閃光粉和其他玩具化妝品。它還在製藥工業中用作疫苗的防腐劑,以保持其功效。它也用於製造口服止痛藥、喉嚨和鼻腔噴霧劑以及內嵌腳趾甲的手術。它被用作多種個人護理產品的溫和防腐劑,例如肥皂、除臭劑、止汗劑、洗髮精、牙膏和爽膚水。它也被注射到肌肉中,以防止肌肉痙攣的發生,從而妨礙行走能力。此外,由於苯酚易於取得、具有成本效益且可以大量購買,全球對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.
