Abstract
This invention relates to an improved interfacial polycondensation aromatic polycarbonate process which does not require large quantities of strong base to provide a particulate product. The process is specific to interfacial polycondensation processes wherein the polycarbonate is formed in the aqueous phase by using a low organic to aqueous phase volume ratio. The quantity of strong base required to provide a particular product is reduced by adding the aromatic dihydroxy compound to the reaction mixture in small increments. This maintains a high mole ratio of strong base to aromatic dihydroxy compound during reaction.
