Linear Organic Carbonates
2003
The most common and successful method for producing organic carbonates, including polycarbonates, has been based for long time on the reaction between an alcohol or phenol and phosgene. The existing strict environmental regulations and the expanding market for organic carbonates do not assure that this technology can continue to have a leading role in this area, due to the inherent riskfulness of the processes. The market expansion of dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diphenyl carbonate (DPC), and bisphenol A polycarbonate (BPA-PC) is a reality, finding its driving force from the industrialization of alternative routes by EniChem (Italy) and UBE (Japan). This favorable situation can be foreseen for…
Modelling polycarbonate synthesis rates on the example of bulk heteropolyaddition of diphenyl carbonate and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether
2016
This paper investigates the effects of increased reaction mixture viscosity on the kinetics of linear polymer creation in a bulk polyaddition process of diphenyl carbonate and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether. The paper presents a method for solving a system of bulk polyaddition of diphenyl carbonate and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether process balance equations, allowing the determinatiof the process kinetic parameters. Determination of polymerisation reaction kinetic parameters was also made possible by the use of the so-called partial reaction rate constant. Such an approach enabled a significant simplification of the mathematical expressions describing the heteropolyaddition process and provide…
