I-phenol luhlobo lwezinto eziphilayo nge-onlic swicetion ye-Bengnene. Luhlobo olungenamibala olungenabala okanye lulwelo lwe-viscous enesimo esibuhlungu kunye nevumba elicaphukisayo. Inyibiliza kancinane emanzini, inyibiliza e-Ethanol kwaye i-ether, kwaye inyibilike ngokulula e-Bedzene, i-touluene kunye nezinye izinyibilikisi eziphilayo. Phenol is an important raw material in the chemical industry and can be used for the synthesis of many other compounds, such as plasticizers, dyes, herbicides, lubricants, surfactants and adhesives. Ke ngoko, i-phenol isetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwimveliso yalo mashishini. Ukongeza, i-phenol ikwabalulekile kumzi-mveliso wamachiza, onokusetyenziselwa ukuqesha amachiza amaninzi, anjenge-Aspirin, iPenicillin, i-Wipeptomycin kunye neTeticycin kunye noTeticline. Ke ngoko, imfuno ye-phenol inkulu kakhulu kwintengiso.

Owona mthombo we-phenol yi-Coal Tar, enokufundwa yinkqubo yokuTyala ngokungahambi kakuhle. Ukongeza, i-phenol inokuhambela phambili kwezinye iindlela, ezinjengokungalunganga kwe-Benzene kunye ne-suluene phambi kwezi ndlela, i-phydning acid, i-pphefolting acid, iswekile i-scobrenion, iswekile ephantsi kobushushu obuphezulu kunye neemeko zoxinzelelo.

Ukongeza kwezi ndlela zingasentla, i-phenol inokufunyanwa ngokukhupha iimveliso zendalo ezinjengamagqabi iti kunye neembotyi zecocoa. Kufanelekile ukukhankanya ukuba inkqubo yokukhupha amagqabi eti kunye neembotyi zecocoa azinalo ungcoliseko kwindalo kwaye ikwindlela ebalulekileyo yokufumana i-phenol. Kwangelo xesha, iimbotyi ze-cocoa zinokuvelisa enye into ebalulekileyo ye-syntheshes yeplastiki - i-phthayic acid. Ke ngoko, iimbotyi ze-cocoa zikwindawo ebalulekileyo eluhlaza ekuveleni kweplastiki.

Ngokubanzi, i-phenol isetyenziswa ngokubanzi kumashishini ahlukeneyo kwaye inethemba elihle lentengiso. Ukuze sifumane iimveliso eziphezulu ze-phenol, kufuneka sinikele ingqalelo ekukhetheni izinto ezingafunekiyo kunye neemeko zenkqubo kwinkqubo yemveliso yokuqinisekisa ukuba iimveliso zihlangabezane nemigangatho efanelekileyo kunye neemfuno.
