Polycarbonate from BPA and Phenol - Cost Analysis - PC E71A
Description:... This report presents a cost analysis of Polycarbonate (PC) production from bisphenol A (BPA), phenol and methanol.
The process examined is a typical melt process.
In this process, the Polycarbonate plant is integrated with a plant for diphenyl carbonate (DPC) production from phenol and methanol. The process is based on the transesterification reaction of BPA with diphenyl carbonate to produce Polycarbonate.
This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s):
