Process for preparing polycarbonates.

摘要

A process for preparing a polycarbonate by the melt polycondensation of an aromatic dihydroxy compound and a carbonic acid diester is characterized by using an aromatic dihydroxy compound and a carbonic acid diester wherein the total content of hydrolyzable chlorine falls within a particular range. Another process for preparing a polycarbonate by the melt polycondensation of an aromatic dihydroxy compound and a carbonic acid diester, is characterized by using a catalyst comprising (a) a nitrogen-containing basic compound, (b) aromatic dihydroxy compound of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compound, and optionally (c) boric acid or a boric acid ester.
