The limiting reactant is toluene Dc Steam is used to enhance the temperature in the first oxidation reactor A D. Cupric benzoate is used in the first step and cobalt naphthenate is used as a catalyst in the second step DE. Both steps of the synthesis are exothermic in nature. OF. Fractionator-1, Fractionator-2 are used to separate benzoic acid and phenol, respectively. OG. Toluene is the entrainer in the final distillation column. OH.Phenol production occurs in 2 steps: oxidation and hydrolysis. OL The difference between the temperatures of the two reactions is 80 degree Celcius OJ.
