The oxidation of aqueous phenol by oxygen has been studied at elevated temperature and pressure by use of the stopped flow technique. High performance liquid chromatography has been used to identify the oxidation products and estimate their concentrations. A detailed reaction mechanism is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
