  • Patent number: 11407694
    Abstract: In a process of decomposing byproducts of a phenol production process using a reactive distillation column in which a reactor and a distillation column are integrated, since acetophenone is mixed with tar recovered to a lower part of the reactive distillation column and transferred, viscosity of the tar may be lowered so that the tar may be transferred at room temperature, and since the reactive distillation column may be operated at 0.5 to 3 bar, an operating temperature of the reactive distillation column is low as compared with a method of separating acetophenone by pressurization with high pressure, significantly reducing an operation cost of a heater required for a reaction. Also, since acetophenone is separately recovered at a position of 25 to 90% of a total number of stages in the reactive distillation column, recovery of an active ingredient may be enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20220047963
    Abstract: A method of decomposing a phenol by-product produced in a phenol preparation process, in which acetophenone separated from a distillation column is mixed with tar separated and collected in a decomposition reactor, thereby significantly decreasing viscosity of tar. The decomposition method according to the present invention allows tar to have sufficient viscosity for flowability even at room temperature, whereby transfer and storage of tar may be more smoothly done without using any heating device for transfer of tar.
