Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Polycarbonate (PC) production from bisphenol A (BPA) and ethylene oxide. The process examined is a typical melt process. In this process, Polycarbonate production is based on the transesterification reaction of BPA with diphenyl carbonate (DPC). The Polycarbonate plant is integrated upstream with a plant for DPC production from ethylene oxide, which also generates ethylene glycol as a by-product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Polycarbonates", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Thermoplastic Polymer, Polycondensation, SABIC, Mitsubishi, Asahi Kasei
