Problems solved by technology

However, there are many following problems in this interfacial polycondensation method: toxic phosgene must be used; a very large amount of dichloromethane, which is more than ten times the amount of polycarbonate, is harmful to health and the environment as a polymerization solvent; by-product hydrogen chloride, Chlorine-containing compounds such as sodium chloride and methylene chloride by-product corrode the device; it is difficult to separate chlorine-containing residual impurities such as sodium chloride and methylene chloride, which have a bad influence on the physical properties of the polymer; and it is necessary to deal with A large amount of process wastewater such as methane and unreacted bisphenol A
[0017] However, in all existing documents proposing the preparation of aromatic carbonates by these reactive distillation methods, there is no specific method or device that can be mass-produced on an industrial scale (for example, 1 ton per hour) at all, and there is no description of their hints

Abstract

A practical process for stable production of a high quality / high performance aromatic polycarbonate not stained and having excellent mechanical properties from a dialkyl carbonate and an aromatic dihydroxy compound on an industrial scale in large amount (for example, 1 ton or more per hour) over a prolonged period (for example, 1000 hours or longer, preferably 3000 hours or longer, or still preferably 5000 hours or longer). The production of the aromatic polycarbonate from the dialkyl carbonate and the aromatic dihydroxy compound can be attained by the process comprising the step (I) of producing diphenyl carbonate by using two reactive distillation columns with specified structures, step (II) of obtaining high purity diphenyl carbonate therefrom by using a high boiling point substance separation column (A) and diphenyl carbonate purification column (B) with specified structures, and step (III) of producing an aromatic polycarbonate from a molten prepolymer obtained from an aromatic dihydroxy compound and the high purity diphenyl carbonate with the use of a guide contact flow-down type polymerizer with specified structure, and step (IV) of recycling phenol produced as by-product to the step (I).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the industrial preparation method of aromatic polycarbonate. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for industrially producing a high-quality, high-performance aromatic polycarbonate having excellent mechanical properties without coloration, in large quantities, from a dialkyl carbonate and an aromatic dihydroxy compound, stably over a long period of time. Background technique [0002] In recent years, aromatic polycarbonates have been widely used in various fields as engineering plastics excellent in heat resistance, impact resistance, and transparency. Regarding the production method of this aromatic polycarbonate, various studies have been conducted so far, in which an aromatic dihydroxy compound such as 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane (hereinafter referred to as bisphenol A) The method of interfacial polycondensation with phosgene has been industrialized. However, there are many following pro...
