摘要:
A method for producing bisphenol includes introducing a phenol and a ketone into a fixed, supported catalytic bed reactor system in a downflow mode, reacting the phenol and the ketone to form a reaction mixture, and recovering the bisphenol isomer from the reaction mixture. The preferred bisphenol isomer is bisphenol A, or p,p′-bisphenol A, produced from the reaction of phenol and acetone. The reactor for producing the bisphenol A from the reaction of phenol and acetone includes an ion exchange resin catalyst disposed in a bed and packing randomly distributed throughout the ion exchange resin catalyst to improve heat transfer efficiency and reduce compression of the catalyst bed.

This invention relates to a method for purifying a polycarbonate resin solution resulting from an interfacial polymerization process. More particularly, this invention provides for the use of at least one static mixer to facilitate separation of the catalyst used to prepare the polycarbonate from the polycarbonate resin solution.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method of recovering a polymer from an organic mixture comprising polymer and an organic solvent, the method comprising: a) admixing an aqueous solution and the organic mixture by the application of a combined mechanical and hydraulic shear force, the combined mechanical and shear force being sufficient to form a liquid-liquid dispersion; b) removing the organic solvent from the liquid-liquid dispersion thereby forming a remaining solution; and c) separating the polymer from the remaining solution. In one embodiment the polymer is a polycarbonate prepared by the interfacial method, and the organic solvent is methylene chloride.

摘要:
Polymer are removed from organic solvent-polymer mixtures by preparing a liquid-liquid dispersion of finely dispersed solvent droplets containing polymer in water, adding this liquid-liquid dispersion to a stirred vessel containing water or other suitable liquid and rapidly evaporating the solvent to produce a slurry of the polymer in a liquid from which the solid polymer particles are recovered.

摘要:
A method of preparing a polycarbonate comprising the steps of:a) charging at least one dihydroxy compound, an inert solvent, water, caustic, carbonyl halide, and catalyst to a vessel, and maintaining the pH of the reaction mixture between about 4 and about 12 during charging; andb) within an interval of between 0 and about 90% of the total carbonyl halide addition to the vessel, activating a reaction system that produces monofunctional aromatic chloroformates (MAC) and introducing the MAC to the vessel within the interval of 0 to about 90% of the total carbonyl halide addition to the vessel; where the MAC reaction system is coupled with the vessel, and where means are provided for delivery of the MAC from the reaction system to the vessel.
