Multistage process for producing polycarbonate from oligomer
First Claim
1. A process for producing polycarbonate by reacting a polycarbonate oligomer and a phenol compound in the presence of caustic alkali, which process comprises introducing the polycarbonate oligomer, caustic alkali and the phenol compound, the equivalent ratio of alkali to hydroxyl group in the phenol compound (alkali/hydroxyl group) being 0.9:
- 1 to 1.8;
1, in a first reaction zone where polymerization is carried out to produce polycarbonate having a viscosity average molecular weight of 3,000 to 15,000, and then introducing a reaction mixture containing the polycarbonate as produced in the first reaction zone into a second reaction zone where polymerization is carried out while adjusting the alkali concentration in the second reaction zone to 0.05 to 0.7N by regulating caustic alkali supplied.

Abstract
A process for producing polycarbonate from a polycarbonate oligomer and a phenol compound, comprising introducing the oligomer, caustic alkali and the phenol compound in the first reaction zone where polymerization is carried out to produce polycarbonate having a viscosity average molecular weight of 3,000 to 15,000, and then introducing the reaction mixture containing the above polycarbonate into the second reaction zone where polymerization is carried out while controlling the alkali concentration to the range of 0.05 to 0.7N by regulating caustic alkali supplied.
