Phenol ndi mtundu wa zinthu zofunika organic yaiwisi, amene chimagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga mankhwala osiyanasiyana mankhwala, monga acetophenone, bisphenol A, caprolactam, nayiloni, mankhwala ophera tizilombo ndi zina zotero.Mu pepala ili, tidzasanthula ndikukambirana momwe zinthu zilili padziko lonse lapansi kupanga phenol komanso momwe wopanga wamkulu wa phenol alili.

Kutengera zomwe zachokera ku International Trade Administration, wopanga wamkulu kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi wa phenol ndi BASF, kampani yamankhwala yaku Germany.Mu 2019, mphamvu yopanga phenol ya BASF idafika matani 2.9 miliyoni pachaka, zomwe zimawerengera pafupifupi 16% yapadziko lonse lapansi.Wopanga wamkulu wachiwiri ndi DOW Chemical, kampani yaku America, yomwe imapanga matani 2.4 miliyoni pachaka.Gulu la Sinopec la China ndilopanga lachitatu lalikulu kwambiri la phenol padziko lonse lapansi, lomwe limapanga matani 1.6 miliyoni pachaka.

Pankhani yaukadaulo wopanga, BASF yasungabe malo ake otsogola popanga phenol ndi zotumphukira zake.Kuphatikiza pa phenol yokha, BASF imapanganso zinthu zambiri zochokera ku phenol, kuphatikizapo bisphenol A, acetophenone, caprolactam ndi nylon.Zogulitsazi zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri m'magawo osiyanasiyana monga zomangamanga, magalimoto, zamagetsi, zonyamula katundu ndi ulimi.

Pankhani ya kufunikira kwa msika, kufunikira kwa phenol padziko lapansi kukukulirakulira.Phenol imagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri popanga bisphenol A, acetophenone ndi zinthu zina.Kufunika kwa zinthuzi kukuchulukirachulukira pankhani ya zomangamanga, zamagalimoto ndi zamagetsi.Pakalipano, China ndi imodzi mwa ogula kwambiri a phenol padziko lapansi.Kufunika kwa phenol ku China kukukulirakulira chaka ndi chaka.

Mwachidule, BASF ndiyomwe imapanga phenol padziko lonse lapansi.Pofuna kusunga malo ake otsogola mtsogolomu, BASF ipitiliza kukulitsa ndalama pakufufuza ndi chitukuko ndikukulitsa luso lopanga.Ndi kuchuluka kwa kufunikira kwa China kwa phenol komanso chitukuko chopitilira mabizinesi apakhomo, gawo la China pamsika wapadziko lonse lapansi lipitilira kukula.Chifukwa chake, China ili ndi kuthekera kotukuka m'gawoli.
