できる方法ではない。However, in the above-mentioned method of pulverizing by gelling or crystallizing, granular polycarbonate can be easily obtained by selecting the opening of the screen of the pulverizer, but this granular material has a particle size distribution. There is a problem that the residual solvent in the polycarbonate is large, because the width of the polycarbonate is large and the drying efficiency is very poor. Further, in order to improve the drying efficiency, if the opening of the screen of the crusher is made small and the particle size is made fine, there is a problem that handleability, hygiene due to dust generation, stability during extrusion molding, etc. are inferior. Is not a satisfactory method.

However, it was found that a granular material having a uniform particle size was obtained, and that the desolvation efficiency did not decrease in spite of the large particle size of the granular material, and the present invention was accomplished.

れる。The polycarbonate used in the present invention may be one produced by any method, but the phosgene method in which the product is obtained in the form of powder is preferable. The phosgene method is a well-known method, and is obtained by polymerizing an oligomer obtained by reacting an aqueous solution of dihydric phenol with phosgene in the presence or absence of an organic solvent, in the presence of an organic solvent. In this method, the organic solvent is removed from the solution of the reaction product in an organic solvent to obtain a polycarbonate powder. In this method, a catalyst, a terminal stopper, a dihydric phenol antioxidant, and other additives can be used if necessary. Further, the obtained polycarbonate may be, for example, a branched polycarbonate obtained by reacting a trifunctional or higher polyfunctional aromatic compound, or may be a mixture of two or more kinds of polycarbonates. The degree of polymerization of the polycarbonate is not particularly limited as long as it is a slurry polycarbonate, and the repeating unit may be, for example, 2 to 10. Usually, those having a viscosity average molecular weight of 13,000 to 40,000 are used.

される。In the present invention, the above polycarbonate is used as an aqueous slurry of powdery particles. As the water slurry of the polycarbonate powder, the polycarbonate powder obtained from the organic solvent solution of the polycarbonate produced by the phosgene method is obtained as a hot water slurry. Preference is given to using. Incidentally, the polycarbonate powder in the water slurry obtained from the organic solvent solution of polycarbonate, a considerable amount of the organic solvent remains,
If the amount of this residual organic solvent is too large, the allowable range of the amount of the organic solvent to be described later is narrow, large lumps are formed, or the particles become too coarse, and it becomes difficult to obtain a desired particle size. Polycarbonate 10 is the amount of residual organic solvent
It should be 100 parts by weight or less relative to 0 parts by weight. Further, water may be added to the dry polycarbonate powder and used. The concentration of the polycarbonate in the slurry (PC / PC + organic solvent + water) should be such that it can be mixed by ordinary stirring, and it is usually used in the range of 10 to 50% by weight.

Solvents "are applicable solvents, such as ethane tetrachloride, methylene chloride, 1,2-dichloroethylene, chloroform, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran and the like, alone or as a mixed solvent. Particularly, as an aqueous slurry of polycarbonate powder, When using a slurry obtained from an organic solvent solution of polycarbonate, it is preferred to use the same solvent as the organic solvent solution.

下になるようにすべきである。If the amount of the organic solvent added to the water slurry of the polycarbonate powder is too small, the desired granulation effect cannot be obtained, so at least 10 parts by weight should be added to 100 parts by weight of the polycarbonate. On the other hand, if the amount is too large, a large lump will be formed or the particles will be too coarse. Therefore, the total amount of the organic solvent remaining in the polycarbonate powder in the slurry and the added organic solvent is 100 parts by weight of the polycarbonate. It should not exceed 120 parts by weight.

The temperature is not higher than the boiling point of the solvent by 20 ° C., preferably not higher than 5 ° C., particularly preferably not higher than the boiling point. The mixing after the addition of the organic solvent may be a batch type or a continuous type, a circulation type, or a type in which a pulverization step is incorporated in the circulation. The mixing may be carried out at normal pressure or under pressure. Mixing time after addition is usually 5 minutes to 3
Mixing for 0 minutes is sufficient.

Means The average particle diameter and n in the Rosin-Rammler formula, which are evaluation items, are the Granular Handbook edited by the Japan Powder Industry Association, Part I, 2
The measurement was performed according to the particle size measurement method described in Chapter 2.4. It should be noted that n in the Rosin-Rammler formula serves as a guide for the particle size distribution, and a larger value indicates that the width of the particle size distribution is narrower. The chlorine content is parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of polycarbonate. Before drying, the sample was pyrolyzed at 180 ° C. using an aqueous solution of caustic soda and then subjected to chlorine analysis by the Horhard method.
