ECONOMICAL PURIFICATION OF BISPHENOL A

摘要

Process and related apparatus are disclosed for economically producing a very high quality bisphenol A product by a multistage crystallization process utilizing a new cross-flow wash design whereby a high purity wash phenol stream is fed to every washing stage, optionally also in combination with a modified stream flow/recycle design which avoids increased by product production and yield losses otherwise expected from processing increased volumes of wash phenol.
