Description:

The coal tar pathway is the traditional method to obtain meta-cresol through the fractional distillation of coal tar that is obtained mainly from the process of coking.

As the boiling point for m-cresol and p-cresol is close, it is hard to separate them. So usually, the rest part exists in form of mixture of meta-para-cresols. The content of meta-para-cresols mixture in coal tar is low. It is reported that these two isomers can be separated out by overseas companies. However, no Chinese company has mastered such kind of technology yet. This is why the product from Chinese coal tar plants is meta-para-cresols instead of meta cresol or para cresol. Also it explains why the production of meta cresol, by the coal tar pathway, is quite small in China.

The capacity of meta-cresols is small in China, less than 10,000t/a in 2004. Meta Cresol in China is mainly used to produce vitamin, pyrethriods, etc. As the output of meta–cresol is restrained from the production technology, now China mainly imports it.

In the next five years, synthetic vitamin E and agrochemical industry are still the major driven forces for the development of meta-cresol industry in China.

Executive Summary

- Meta Cresol From Coal Tar Pathway

- There is not any supplier of meta cresol isolated from (m,p) cresols.

- There are XXX active suppliers of (m,p) cresols obtained from coal tar.

- There are XXX suppliers of crude cresol-containing compositions, or mixture of phenol, m-cresol, o-cresol and p-cresol.

- The market of (m,p) cresols or crude cresol-containing compositions is shrinking.

- Meta Cresol From Chemical Synthetic Pathway

- All Chinese producers are using XXX method to synthesize meta cresol.

- There are XXX active producers of meta cresol in China.

- The total capacity of meta cresol (chemical synthesis pathway) is claimed to be XXXMTs/year. However the Chinese production is frustrated by the availability of XXX or XXX. The annual domestic production of meta cresol in 2003 is estimated at XXXMTs/year.

- China relies on the imported meta cresol. The import of meta cresol (XX% min.) and (m,p) cresols in 2003 is XXXMTs and XXXMTs, respectively. While the export in 2003 is XXXMTs and XXXMTs, respectively.

- The driven forces for the consumption of meta cresol (XXX% min.) in China lie in XXX, and XXX. While the driven force for the consumption of (m,p) cresols lies in polymer and antioxidants, especially in Guangdong province.
