Processes for producing aromatic polycarbonate oligomer and aromatic polycarbonate.

摘要

A process for producing continuously an aromatic polycarbonate oligomer by reacting an aromatic dihydroxy compound and an alkali metal base or an alkaline earth metal base with a carbonyl halide compound comprises: (1) feeding continuously to a tank reactor an aromatic dihydroxy compound, water, a molecular weight controlling agent, a polymerization catalyst, a carbonyl halide compound, and an organic solvent, and an alkali metal base or an alkaline earth metal base in an amount of 1.15 - 1.6 equivalents based on the aromatic dihydroxy compound, (2) carrying out the reaction with a residence time as defined by the following formula, log Y < - 2.19 X + 1.84 (0.0005 </= X < 0.84, 1 </= Y < 69> where X is an amount of the polymerization catalyst in terms of mole % based on the amount of mole of the aromatic dihydroxy compound fed per unit time, and Y is a residence time (min.), and (3) continuously withdrawing the reaction mixture from the tank reactor to obtain an aromatic polycarbonate oligomer having a number average molecular weight of 1,000 - 10,000. An aromatic polycarbonate is produced by polycondensation of the aromatic polycarbonate oligomer.
