Procedure

At the above operating conditions of the reactors and column, the overhead liquid product in flow lines 133 is about 98 mol % ethanol and 2 mol % diethyl carbonate (DEC) while the bottoms product in flow line 119 contains about 35 mol % diphenyl carbonate (DPC), 63 mol % phenol and 2 mol % ethyl phenyl carbonate (EPC). Small amounts of diethyl ether, CO2, phenetole and diphenyl ether (DPE) are also produced. A portion of the bottoms is circulated through the reboiler (80) via flow lines 118 and 120.
