Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Polycarbonate (PC) production from phenol, acetone, and methanol. The process examined is a typical melt process. In this process, the Polycarbonate plant is integrated with a plant for bisphenol A (BPA) production from phenol and acetone and a plant for diphenyl carbonate (DPC) production from phenol and methanol. The process is based on the transesterification reaction of BPA with diphenyl carbonate to produce Polycarbonate.
