I-Phenol iwuhlobo lwenhlanganisela ye-organic enesakhiwo sendandatho ye-benzene.Iwuketshezi oluqinile olungenambala olubonisa ngale noma i-viscous olunokunambitheka okubabayo nephunga elicasulayo.Incibilika kancane emanzini, incibilika ku-ethanol ne-ether, futhi incibilika kalula ku-benzene, i-toluene nezinye izinyibilikisi zemvelo.I-Phenol iwumthombo obalulekile wezinto ezingavuthiwe embonini yamakhemikhali futhi ingasetshenziselwa ukuhlanganiswa kwamanye amakhompiyutha amaningi, njengamapulasitiki, odayi, ama-herbicides, okothambisa, ama-surfactants nama-adhesives.Ngakho-ke, i-phenol isetshenziswa kabanzi ekukhiqizeni lezi zimboni.Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-phenol iphinde ibe yindawo ebalulekile embonini yezemithi, engasetshenziswa ukuhlanganisa izidakamizwa eziningi, njenge-aspirin, i-penicillin, i-streptomycin ne-tetracycline.Ngakho-ke, isidingo se-phenol sikhulu kakhulu emakethe.

Umthombo oyinhloko we-phenol itiyela lamalahle, elingakhishwa ngenqubo yokucwiliswa kwetiyela yamalahle.Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-phenol ingabuye ihlanganiswe neminye imizila eminingi, njengokubola kwe-benzene ne-toluene lapho kukhona ama-catalysts, i-hydrogenation ye-nitrobenzene, ukuncishiswa kwe-phenolsulfonic acid, njll. Ngaphezu kwalezi zindlela, i-phenol nayo ingaba etholwe ngokubola kwe-cellulose noma ushukela ngaphansi kwezimo eziphakeme zokushisa nezingcindezi.

Ngaphezu kwalezi zindlela ezingenhla, i-phenol ingatholakala futhi ngokukhipha imikhiqizo yemvelo njengamaqabunga etiye nobhontshisi kakhokho.Kuhle ukusho ukuthi inqubo yokukhipha amaqabunga etiye nobhontshisi we-cocoa ayinakho ukungcola emvelweni futhi iyindlela ebalulekile yokuthola i-phenol.Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ubhontshisi we-cocoa nawo angakhiqiza enye impahla eluhlaza ebalulekile yokuhlanganiswa kwama-plasticizers - i-phthalic acid.Ngakho-ke, ubhontshisi we-cocoa nawo uyimpahla ebalulekile yokukhiqiza ama-plasticizers.

Ngokuvamile, i-phenol isetshenziswa kabanzi ezimbonini ezihlukahlukene futhi inethemba elihle kakhulu lemakethe.Ukuze sithole imikhiqizo ye-phenol esezingeni eliphezulu, sidinga ukunaka ukukhethwa kwezinto ezingavuthiwe kanye nezimo zenqubo enqubweni yokukhiqiza ukuze siqinisekise ukuthi imikhiqizo ihlangabezana namazinga nezidingo ezifanele.
