1. A method of producing Bisphenol-A (BPA) from a product solution, characterized in that the product solution includes components that exhibit a phase equilibrium relationship which defines phase compartments represented by a projection of a polythermal ternary phase diagram, where solid Bisphenol-A and an adduct of Bisphenol-A and Phenol can crystallize respectively;

  • and the composition of the product stream is selected such that substantially pure solid Bisphenol-A if formed by crystallization in a single stage.
