Phenol (fuainumera kemisi: C6H5OH, PhOH), e lauiloa foi o le carbolic acid, hydroxybenzene, o le mea sili ona faigofie phenolic organic mea, o se tioata lanu i le vevela o le potu. Oona. O le Phenol o se vailaʻau masani ma o se mea taua tele mo le gaosiga o nisi resins, fungicides, faʻasao, ma vailaʻau e pei ole aspirin.

E fa matafaioi ma le fa'aogaina o le phenol
1. faʻaaogaina i totonu o le gaosiga o suauu, o se mea taua foʻi vailaʻau faʻapitoa, ma e mafai ona faia phenolic resin, caprolactam, bisphenol A, salicylic acid, picric acid, pentachlorophenol, phenolphthalein, se tagata  acetyl ethoxyaniline ma isi oloa vailaʻau ma intermediates, i vailaʻau mataʻutia, alkyl phenols, filo gaosia, palasitika, paʻu gaosia, vailaʻau faʻamaʻi, vailaʻau faʻamaʻi, mea manogi, vali, paʻu ma suauʻu faʻamamaina alamanuia E i ai le lautele o le faʻaaogaina i vailaʻau mataʻutia, alkyl phenols, filo faʻapipiʻi, palasitika, paʻu gaosia, vailaʻau, vailaʻau faʻamaʻi, mea manogi, vali, faʻaofuofu ma suauʻu faʻamamaina alamanuia.

2. Fa'aaogaina e fai ma su'esu'ega su'esu'e, e pei o le solvent ma le organic modifier mo le chromatography vai, reagent mo le photometric determination o le amonia ma le fa'ai'uga manifinifi o ga'o. E faʻaaogaina foi e fai ma vailaʻau faʻamaʻi ma faʻamaʻi, ma faʻaaogaina i le faʻaogaina o meaola. Fa'aaoga lautele i palasitika, vali, vaila'au, pa'u gaosia, mea manogi, faʻapipiʻi, faʻamamaina o suauʻu, filo faʻapipiʻi ma isi pisinisi.

3. Faʻaaogaina e avea ma antioxidant mo fluoroborate apa faʻapipiʻi ma apa apa, faʻaaogaina foi e pei o isi mea faʻapipiʻi eletise.

4. Faʻaaogaina i le gaosiga o le resin phenolic, bisphenol A, caprolactam, aniline, alkyl phenol, ma isi.
