ABSTRACT:
A method for producing phenol and acetone in a multi-stage process at an elevated temperature from a cumene hydroperoxide mixture comprising cumene, the method comprising the steps of a) reacting the cumene hydroperoxide mixture with a 2-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid catalyst having a concentration of 0.1 to 1 mmol/L acid catalyst to form a second mixture comprising phenol, acetone and dicumyl peroxide in a first stage and decomposing the second mixture in a second stage to produce a third mixture comprising phenol and acetone.
