2. Description of the Related Art In order to produce a bisphenol compound, an excess monovalent phenol compound is mixed with a carbonyl compound selected from an aldehyde compound and a ketone compound in the presence of an acid catalyst. Methods of reacting are known. In order to separate and collect a high-purity bisphenol compound from this reaction product, the reaction product is subjected to a crystallization treatment to form a crystal adduct of the bisphenol compound and the monovalent phenol compound (hereinafter, simply referred to as a crystal adduct. It is also known to remove the monovalent phenol compound from the obtained crystal adduct. In such a method for producing a bisphenol compound, since the quality of the product largely depends on the quality of the crystal adduct, much research has been conducted on a method for producing a high quality crystal adduct. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of obtaining a high-quality crystal adduct, the impurity concentration in the reaction product of the monovalent phenol compound and the carbonyl compound, which is the raw material liquid, is low, and in particular, colored impurities that are difficult to separate from the crystal adduct. The concentration is low, in other words, it is important to suppress the amount of colored impurities by-produced in the reaction.
