The emulsifying agent is NaOH and is used in the hydrolysis step. D. The vent gases consist of nitrogen and oxygen. E. The sulfuric acid splits 50-50 in the organic and aqueous phase. OF Alpha-methyl styrene is recycled back to the hydrogenation reactor. OG. A crystallizer is used at the end for purification of the phenol product. OH. The peroxidation occurs at 100 degree Celcius. OL. All products are obtained through atmospheric distillation according to their density difference. OJ. The sulfuric acid splits such that it is more in the organic phase than in the aqueous phase. 15 points
