Analysis of possibilities of 2,6-dimethylphenol synthesis with recirculation of o-cresol and management of gaseous by-products
2,6-Dimethylphenol was synthesized in a fluidized bed of Fe-Cr catalyst with o-cresol recirculation. Thermodynamics and equil. of the reaction were considered. Thermal effects on the catalyst (including evapn. of the liq. reactants and heating) were detd. Incineration of gaseous products was recommended to recovery energy.
