摘要:
A process for producing high-purity bisphenol A comprises reacting phenol with acetone in the presence of hydrochloric acid as the catalyst to obtain a product mixture, removing the hydrochloric acid from the product mixture, thereby yielding a liquid mixture, adding water to the liquid mixture, evaporating a water-phenol mixture from the liquid mixture under reduced pressure, thereby cooling the liquid mixture and crystallizing out the adduct of bisphenol A with phenol, and finally recovering bisphenol A from the adduct, wherein an improvement comprises treating the water-phenol mixture with a weakly basic ion-exchange resin and recycling and reusing the treated mixture as the water to be added to the liquid mixture. This process does not causes any troubles such as the corrosion of equipment and the decomposition and discoloration of bisphenol A during distillation.

A process for washing and obtaining solids of a slurry comprises feeding a slurry containing the adduct of bisphenol A with phenol crystallized from a phenol solution of bisphenol A to a first solid-liquid separator to separate solids from the slurry, transferring the solids separated by the first solid-liquid separator to an agitation tank in which the solids are reslurried, feeding the slurry obtained in the agitation tank to a second solid-liquid separator, said second solid-liquid separator being intended to obtain the solids from the slurry discharged from the agitation tank, and permitting the admission of a washing solvent to wash the solids, and permitting the filtrate and washings to be recovered independently, feeding the washing solvent to the second solid-liquid separator, feeding all of the washings from the second solid-liquid separator to the agitation tank, feeding a part of the filtrate from the second solid-liquid separator to the agitation tank, and discharging the remainder of the filtrate from the system. The process makes it possible to produce a high-purity adduct of bisphenol A with phenol and hence high-purity bisphenol A.

A process for crystallizing the adduct of bisphenol A with phenol from a phenol solution in the presence of water comprises controlling the concentration of bisphenol A in said solution by removing portion of the phenol from said solution or adding phenol to said solution according to feedback control based on the measurement of solution density to obtain an adjusted solution, and feeding the adjusted solution to the crystallizer in which its inside wall is kept at a temperature higher than that of the adjusted solution, provided the temperature difference being smaller than 5.degree. C. The crystallized adduct has a uniform particle size and a high purity.

This invention is a process for the preparation of bisphenol A from acetone and phenol. By this invention, the formation of by-products is extremely decreased and post treatment steps can be simplified.This invention involves the following steps. (1) One mole of acetone is reacted with 4 to 12 moles of phenol in the presence of a sulfonic acid type cation exchange resin catalyst modified with a mercapto group-containing compound such as mercaptoethylamine to convert 20 to 60% of acetone, and (2) the reaction mixture containing unreacted acetone is successively reacted to the presence of the hydrochloric acid catalyst.The formation of by-products such as 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, Dianin's compound and the like is remarkably reduced by the process of this invention.

摘要:
A process for obtaining high-purity bisphenol A by removing most part of phenol from an adduct of bisphenol A with phenol and removing continously the residual phenol by steam stripping, wherein a multi-tubular packed column is used as a stripping equipment. The residual phenol in bisphenol A can be removed constantly. In addition, the process of the present invention is economical because the residual phenol can be removed with a small amount of steam.

This invention relates to a process for preparing 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, e.g. bisphenol A and particularly to a process for preparing high quality bisphenol A with good workability by distilling the intermediate adduct of bisphenol A and phenol.The adduct of bisphenol A and phenol is fed to a distillation column. Phenol is recovered from the top of the column and bisphenol A is obtained from its bottom. In this distillation process, the adduct of bisphenol A and phenol is added with a part of recycled bottom liquid. Consequently troubles such as plugging of the distillation column are prevented, continuous operation becomes possible for a long period of time and high quality bisphenol A can be steadily obtained.

The process for preparing 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane (bisphenol A) by reacting acetone with phenol and decomposing the resultant adduct of bisphenol A and phenol is well known. However, the quality of bisphenol A thus obtained is not always satisfactory.In the process of this invention, the adduct is washed with phenol recovered by decomposing an adduct of bisphenol A and phenol, and then bisphenol A is prepared by decomposing the washed adduct.The bisphenol A prepared by the process of this invention has an extremely high quality and is suitable for the preparation of polycarbonate used for optical parts.
