First Claim
Patent Images
1. A process for crystallizing an adduct of pure diphenylolpropane and phenol, which comprises (i) preparing a liquid mixture of impure diphenylolpropane, phenol and water, said mixture comprising less than about 15% by weight of water and said mixture being prepared at a temperature sufficient to maintain same in a substantially liquid state, but not in excess of about 100°
- C., (ii) cooling said substantially liquid mixture to a temperature at least as low as about 60°
C., while (iii) simultaneously applying thereto a vacuum essentially corresponding to the vapor pressure of the vapor phase of said mixture, and (iv) whereby an adduct of pure diphenylolpropane and phenol is crystallized.

Abstract
2,2-di(4-hydroxyphenyl) propane, i.e., diphenylolpropane, is purified by preparing a liquid mixture of raw diphenylolpropane, phenol and water and applying reduced pressure thereto corresponding to the vapor pressure of the mixture while simultaneously cooling same whereby an adduct of pure diphenylolpropane and phenol is crystallized.

19. A process for crystallizing an adduct of pure diphenylolpropane and phenol, which comprises (i) preparing a liquid mixture of impure diphenylolpropane, phenol and water, said mixture comprising less than about 15% by weight of water and said mixture being prepared at a temperature sufficient to maintain same in a substantially liquid state, but not in excess of about 100°
- C., (ii) cooling said substantially liquid mixture to a temperature at least as low as about 60°
C., while (iii) simultaneously applying thereto a vacuum essentially corresponding to the vapor pressure of the vapor phase of said mixture, said vapor pressure varying independently of the diphenylolpropane concentration in the mixture (i) but dependently upon the less than 15% by weight water in said mixture and dependently upon the cooling temperature (ii) at least as low as about 60°
C., and (iv) whereby an adduct of pure diphenylolpropane and phenol is crystallized.
