A process for the production of polycarbonate is disclosed. The process, representing an improvement over the known interfacial polycondensation process entails introducing into the loop of a circulating reactor that additionally contains, a residence tank, an optional mixer, a pump, and a heat exchanger (i) an organic phase that contains a solvent for polycarbonate and phosgene and (ii) an aqueous phase that contains an aqueous lye solution, a dihydroxy compound and an optional monophenol to form an emulsion. Maintaining specified temperature and process conditions results in polycarbonate resin having good properties and in waste water that are characterized by their purity.
