Phenol ndi mtundu wa organic pawiri wokhala ndi mphete ya benzene.Ndi madzi owoneka bwino opanda mtundu kapena viscous okhala ndi kukoma kowawa komanso kununkhira kowawa.Amasungunuka pang'ono m'madzi, amasungunuka mu ethanol ndi ether, ndipo amasungunuka mosavuta mu benzene, toluene ndi zosungunulira zina.Phenol ndi zofunika zopangira makampani mankhwala ndipo angagwiritsidwe ntchito synthesis wa mankhwala ena ambiri, monga plasticizers, utoto, herbicides, lubricant, surfactants ndi zomatira.Choncho, phenol imagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri popanga mafakitalewa.Komanso, phenol ndi yofunika wapakatikati mu makampani mankhwala, amene angagwiritsidwe ntchito lithe mankhwala ambiri, monga aspirin, penicillin, streptomycin ndi tetracycline.Chifukwa chake, kufunikira kwa phenol ndikokulirapo pamsika.

Gwero lalikulu la phenol ndi phula la malasha, lomwe limatha kutulutsidwa ndi distillation ya malasha.Kuphatikiza apo, phenol imatha kupangidwanso ndi njira zina zambiri, monga kuwonongeka kwa benzene ndi toluene pamaso pa chothandizira, hydrogenation ya nitrobenzene, kuchepetsa phenolsulfonic acid, ndi zina zambiri. Kuphatikiza pa njirazi, phenol imathanso kukhala zopezedwa ndi kuwonongeka kwa mapadi kapena shuga pansi pa kutentha ndi kupsyinjika zinthu.

Kuphatikiza pa njira zomwe tafotokozazi, phenol imathanso kupezeka pochotsa zinthu zachilengedwe monga masamba a tiyi ndi nyemba za koko.Ndikoyenera kutchula kuti njira yochotsa masamba a tiyi ndi nyemba za koko ilibe kuwononga chilengedwe komanso ndi njira yofunikira yopezera phenol.Nthawi yomweyo, nyemba za koko zimatha kupanganso zinthu zina zofunika kwambiri popanga mapulasitiki - phthalic acid.Chifukwa chake, nyemba za cocoa ndizofunikanso pakupangira mapulasitiki.

Kawirikawiri, phenol imagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri m'mafakitale osiyanasiyana ndipo ili ndi chiyembekezo chabwino kwambiri cha msika.Kuti tipeze mankhwala a phenol apamwamba kwambiri, tiyenera kulabadira kusankha kwa zopangira ndi momwe zinthu ziliri pakupanga zinthu kuti zitsimikizire kuti zinthuzo zikukwaniritsa zofunikira ndi zofunikira.
