ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises 3 major sections: (1) Polymerization; (2) Phenol Purification; and (3) Polycarbonate Pelletizing.</p><p>Polymerization. Diphenyl carbonate melt, bisphenol A and sodium dihydrogen phosphite are mixed and heated to form a melt. The stream is fed to a oligomerization step, where low molecular weight oligomers are generated. The oligomers are directed to more severe conditions, then polymerization is completed in two CSTR operating in series. Polymerization is interrupted by addition of n-butyl tosylate, which deactivates the catalyst. Phenol and other by-products are continuously removed from the process.</p><p>Phenol Purification. The by-products are sent to a distillation column. Phenol is withdrawn from overhead and exported to nearby facility.</p><p>Pelletizing. The polymer melt is filtered, and a mix of additives is added. The mixture is homogenized and pelletized. Finally, the pellets are conveyed to homogenization system and fed to the packing system.</p>
ICC - Short Description: This study presents the economics of Polycarbonate (PC) production from bisphenol A (BPA) and diphenyl carbonate (DPC) in the United States, via a typical melt process. In this process, DPC is transesterified with BPA to form PC and phenol as by-product. The reaction is conducted in oligomerization and polymerization.

Polycarbonate Production from BPA and Phosgene

This report presents the economics of Polycarbonate (PC) production from bisphenol A (BPA) and phosgene in the United States, via a typical interfacial process. In this process, BPA, dissolved in a caustic soda solution, is reacted with phosgene, in an organic solution, at the interface of the two phases. The carbonate oligomers produced are then polycondensed to Polycarbonate.
