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.
