    Abstract: A method is disclosed for treating a residual stream from bisphenol manufacture, wherein the residual stream comprises unreacted phenols, bisphenol isomers, trisphenols, organic sulfides and water. The method comprises contacting at least a portion of the residual stream or a reaction product thereof with an acidic catalyst under conditions sufficient to allow acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of organic sulfides in the residual stream to the corresponding thiols and produce an effluent stream, and then distilling at least a portion of the effluent stream to recover distillate products comprising phenols and thiols and produce a bottoms product comprising bisphenol isomers and trisphenols, and having a lower content of organic sulfides than the residual stream.

    Abstract: Methods of isolating phenols from phenol-containing media. The methods include combining a phospholipid-containing composition with the phenol-containing medium to generate a combined medium, incubating the combined medium to precipitate phenols in the combined medium and thereby form a phenol precipitate phase and a phenol-depleted phase, and separating the phenol precipitate phase and the phenol-depleted phase. The methods can further include extracting phenols from the separated phenol precipitate phase. The extracting can include mixing the separated phenol precipitate phase with an extraction solvent to solubilize in the extraction solvent at least a portion of the phenols originally present in the phenol precipitate phase.
