Process for washing and obtaining solids of slurry
First Claim
1. A process for washing and obtaining solids of a slurry which comprises feeidng a slurry containing the adduct of bisphenol A with phenol crystallized from a phenol solution fo bisphenol A to a first solid-liquid separator to separate solids from the slurry, transferring the solids separated by the first solid-liquid separator to an agitation tank in which the solids are reslurried, feeding the slurry obtained in the agitation tank to a second solid-liquid separator, said second solid-liquid separator being intended to obtian the solids from the slurry discharged from the agitation tank, and permitting the admission of a washing solvent consisting of phenol or water-containing phenol at a temperature of 35°
- to 45°
C. to wash the solids, and permitting the filtrate and washings to be recovered independently, feeding the washing solvent to the second solid-liquid separator, feeidng all of the washings from the second solid-liquid separator, feeding all of the washings from the second solid-liquid separator to the agitation tank, feeding a part of the filtrate from the second solid-liquid separator to the agitation tank, and discharging the remainder of the filtrate from the system.

Abstract
A process for washing and obtaining solids of a slurry comprises feeding a slurry containing the adduct of bisphenol A with phenol crystallized from a phenol solution of bisphenol A to a first solid-liquid separator to separate solids from the slurry, transferring the solids separated by the first solid-liquid separator to an agitation tank in which the solids are reslurried, feeding the slurry obtained in the agitation tank to a second solid-liquid separator, said second solid-liquid separator being intended to obtain the solids from the slurry discharged from the agitation tank, and permitting the admission of a washing solvent to wash the solids, and permitting the filtrate and washings to be recovered independently, feeding the washing solvent to the second solid-liquid separator, feeding all of the washings from the second solid-liquid separator to the agitation tank, feeding a part of the filtrate from the second solid-liquid separator to the agitation tank, and discharging the remainder of the filtrate from the system. The process makes it possible to produce a high-purity adduct of bisphenol A with phenol and hence high-purity bisphenol A.
