Disclosed herein is a process for producing a resin having carbonate bonding, comprising polymerizing a hydroxydiaryl compound and phosgene in an organic solvent of methylene chloride such that the concentration of carbon tetrachloride in phosgene and methylene chloride in the polymerization system satisfies the following equation:

Preparation with controlled amounts of polycarbonate carbon tetrachloride

A process for producing polycarbonate resin particles from a methylene chloride solution of a polycarbonate resin obtained by the polycondensation of a dihydroxydiaryl compound and phosgene, which comprises continuously supplying the methylene chloride solution of the polycarbonate resin to a particle-forming vessel, heating it while maintaining it in a suspended state in water to evaporate methylene chloride and to form an aqueous slurry containing polycarbonate resin particles, subjecting at least a part of the resulting aqueous slurry withdrawn from the particle-forming vessel and containing the polycarbonate resin particles to wet pulverization treatment and recycling at least a part of the treated polycarbonate resin particles to the particle-forming vessel.

Process for producing polycarbonate resin particles

A process for producing aromatic polyester polycarbonate particles from a methylene chloride solution of an aromatic polyester polycarbonate comprises continuously supplying the methylene chloride solution of an aromatic polyester polycarbonate to a particle-forming tank, heating it while maintaining it in a suspended state in water to evaporate methylene chloride and to form aromatic polyester polycarbonate particles, subjecting at least a part of the resulting aqueous slurry withdrawn from the particle-forming tank and containing the aromatic polyester polycarbonate particles to wet pulverization treatment and recycling the treated slurry to the particle-forming tank.

Process for producing aromatic polyester polycarbonate particles

A process for producing an aromatic polyesterpolycarbonate, which comprises polycondensing (a) a dihydroxydiaryl compound, (b) a terephthaloyl chloride and/or isophthaloyl chloride reactant, and (c) phosgene by an interfacial polymerization process in the presence of water, methylene chloride and an acid binding agent thereby preparing an aromatic polyesterpolycarbonate product containing structural units of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is a divalent group, and the aromatic rings may be substituted, and structural units of the formula: ##STR2## wherein X is a divalent group, and the aromatic rings may be substituted, said condensation reaction being characterized in that after at least 95% of the total --COCl groups in the terephthaloyl chloride and/or isophthaloyl chloride and phosgene starting materials has reacted, a chloroformate compound or additional phosgene is added to the reaction mixture in an amount to bring the concentration of --COCl groups to a level of 10 to 1000 .mu.eq/g relative to the total amount of the above starting materials to complete the reaction.
