Production process and production system of aromatic polycarbonate

An aromatic polycarbonate extruder which is a twin screw extruder for kneading components into a molten aromatic polycarbonate, the extruder having at least one module consisting of a kneading unit, a material seal unit, a back kneading unit and full-flight unit which are arranged from an upstream side to a downstream side and a method of kneading components into an aromatic polycarbonate by using the above extruder. The present invention also provides a kneading apparatus and method for producing an aromatic polycarbonate which has an extremely small content of foreign matter and is free from residence deterioration such as coloration, crosslinking or gelation when the aromatic polycarbonate is to be kneaded with various components.

Twin screw extruder, method of making aromatic polycarbonate using a twin screw extruder, and method of removing volatiles from an aromatic polycarbonate melt

A method of producing a polycarbonate or the like which is excellent in hydrolysis and heat stability such as a reduction in molecular weight at the time of molding and color retention and moldability such as releasability and transferability, rarely experiences residence deterioration such as coloring, crosslinking and gel formation and has an extremely small content of foreign matter by employing a special structure for an opening in the side surface of a horizontal cylindrical vacuum resin treating apparatus, supplying a molten polycarbonate into a unidirectional rotary intermeshing double-screw extruder under specific conditions, adding a specific agent under specific conditions and cleaning the inner surface of a production apparatus by a specific method.

Apparatus and method for producing resin

An aromatic polycarbonate resin is produced under the conditions that the flow velocity of the reaction mixture in a pipe through which a molten reaction mixture passes is a specific value or over, the viscosity-average molecular weight of the reaction mixture is 1,000 or more, the sum of the average retention times of the reaction mixture is not longer than 3 hours, the wall temperature of the pipe through which a molten reaction mixture passes is set to be higher than the temperature of the reaction mixture in the pipe, the catalyst deactivation agent is added within 2 hours after the completion of the melt polycondensation reaction, the filtration is carried out by using a filter having a specific retained particle size under a specific pressure difference, specific treated amount of the aromatic polycarbonate resin per unit area of the filter and a ratio of W (flow quantity of filtered polymer)&times;1,000/A (maximum area of the polymer path in the filtration vessel) falling within a specific range, etc.

Process for producing polycarbonates

Aromatic polycarbonate having a reduced discoloration and improved heat stability, hue, etc. is provided by keeping a pressure in a raw material melting vessel and the linear velocity of a gas in a transporting piping in a specific range, keeping the concentration of a nitrogen-containing basic compound in a specific range, recycling a byproduct containing specific amounts of impurities, suppressing the amounts of a nitrogen-containing basic compound, metallic elements and a silicic acid derivative in the carbonic acid diester at specific values or less, prescribing the material quality of the reaction facilities, and/or forming an oxide layer at the inner wall surfaces of the reaction facilities.
