Reaction Steps

The manufacture of condensation polymers often produces a brine solution as a by-product. For example, a brine solution is produced in the manufacture of polycarbonate resins through the reaction of phosgene with at least one bisphenol compound in an organic solvent in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide. A common example is the reaction of bisphenol A with phosgene in dichloromethane in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide to produce bisphenol A polycarbonate and sodium chloride solution.
