    摘要: A method of preparing a polycarbonate composition in a polymerization system that includes a monomer mixing unit, an oligomerization section, and a polymerization section. The method includes melt polymerizing a dihydroxy compound with a diaryl carbonate compound in the presence of a quaternary phosphonium catalyst to produce the polycarbonate composition having a phosphorus-containing byproduct of at least one of the quaternary phosphonium catalyst or of the diaryl carbonate compound. The method further includes recycling the phosphorus-containing byproduct into the monomer mixing unit of the polymerization system and removing the polycarbonate composition from the polymerization system. The recycle stream has a phosphorus concentration of greater than or equal to 40 parts per million by weight.
