Abstract
A process for producing an aromatic polycarbonate by reacting an aromatic dihydroxy compound, an alkali or alkaline earth metal base and a carbonyl halide compound comprises feeding a polymerization catalyst as the carbonyl halide is fed to a mixture of the aromatic dihydroxy compound, the alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, water and an organic solvent. The molecular weight of the aromatic polycarbonate can be properly controlled, the rate of end capping is high, and coloration of the aromatic polycarbonate is less. Such aromatic polycarbonate can be produced while suppressing hydrolysis of the carbonyl halide compound and/or haloformate compound.
