Disclosed is a process for producing powder aggregate particle of high molecular weight polycarbonate resin which comprises adding a poor solvent to a solution containing 3 to 8% by weight of high molecular weight polycarbonate resin having a viscosity average molecular weight of at least 70,000 in a solvent in a ratio of the poor solvent to the solution of the polycarbonate resin of 0.2 to 0.6 by volume, continuously pouring the resulting mixture into water heated to a higher temperature than a boiling point of a solvent of the solution of the polycarbonate resin, thereby suspending the mixture in the warm water, distilling out the solvent and the poor solvent from the mixture, thereby obtaining a slurry of the polycarbonate resin and water in the following ratio by volume:

Process for producing powder aggregate particle of high molecular weight

A polycarbonate resin comprising either a structural unit derived from a spiro ring-containing dihydric phenol, or such a structural unit and a structural unit derived from a dihydric phenol, and a process for producing the same. The polycarbonate resin has excellent flowability and moldability, and also improved optical properties (low refractive index, large Abbe number, etc.), and can be advantageously used in various fields, e.g., as a material for molded articles for optical use and other precision molded articles.
