Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Polycarbonate (PC) production from phenol, acetone and phosgene. The process examined is a typical interfacial process. In this process, the Polycarbonate plant is integrated with a plant for bisphenol A (BPA) production from phenol and acetone. In this process, BPA is reacted with phosgene at the interface of a two-phase mixture. The carbonate oligomers produced are then polycondensed to Polycarbonate resin. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Thermoplastic Polymer, Interfacial Polymerization, Polycondensation
