Detailed description of the invention
The manufacture method of the bisphenol-A of the present invention need monitor bisphenol-A pelletize after within 1 hour, the environment of 10~50 DEG C Above-mentioned concentration is also controlled below 150 mass ppm by isopropenyl phenol concentration under temperature conditions.Isopropenyl phenol concentration Such as can be measured monitoring by utilizing high performance liquid chromatography (hereinafter sometimes referred to simply as HPLC).Isopropenyl phenol is dense When degree is more than 150 mass ppm, the form and aspect of obtained bisphenol-A are deteriorated, and quality comes into question.By dense for above-mentioned isopropenyl phenol Degree controls below preferably 100 mass ppm, below more preferably 50 mass ppm.Here, " after pelletize " refers to molten condition Moment of contacting with cooling ways such as cooling gases of bisphenol-A.
Isopropenyl phenol represents with following formula (1).
In the present invention, the isopropenyl phenol concentration of bisphenol-A after the pelletizing within 1 hour, 10~50 DEG C, more preferably Monitor under the ambient temperature conditions of 15~40 DEG C, more preferably 20~30 DEG C.Isopropenyl phenol concentration in time and temperature Degree significantly changes, therefore, in order to monitor isopropenyl phenol concentration, it is also desirable to by time and temperature treatment specifically Scope.More specifically, in the present invention, the condition monitored isopropenyl phenol concentration is after pelletize 1 hour, 30 DEG C Ambient temperature.
For the increase and decrease of the isopropenyl phenol concentration of bisphenol-A, the free acid concentration in adduct decomposition process is close Cut is closed.In order to reduce isopropenyl phenol concentration, as an example, can enumerate: remove the free acid in technique so that double Phenol A declines with the free acid concentration in the adduct crystallization (hereinafter sometimes referred to adduct crystallization (ア ダ Network Bu Jing)) of phenol Method and/or in crystallize, solid-liquid separation process, bisphenol-A and the adduct crystallization of phenol are washed thus remove attached The method of free acid in crystallization.By fully reducing the dense of free acid contained and/or accompanying in adduct crystallization Degree, it is possible to this adduct crystallization will be made to decompose and the isopropenyl phenol concentration of bisphenol-A that obtains control 150 mass ppm with Under.
