Combustion of Phenol

2C6H5OH + 14O2 → 12CO2 + 6H2O

概要

Phenol burns in air with a very sooty flame due to its aromatic ring structure and high carbon content. Complete combustion requires excess oxygen. Phenol is corrosive to skin and tissues, and its combustion products in fires can include toxic phenolic compounds.
