Mo-3738 LeA 28,369 A PROCESS FOR ISOLATING POLYCARBONATES ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A continuous process for the isolation of polycarbonates from a solution of polycarbonate in methylene chloride at temperatures of 30 to 80°C is disclosed. The process which yields polycarbonate in powder form having residual solvent content of less than 5% by weight, is characterized in that it entails the following steps: a) obtaining a solution of polycarbonate in methylene chloride containing 10 to 40 percent polycarbonate, said percent being relative to the total weight of the polycarbonate solution, b) mixing into said solution under pressures of 10 to 50 bar and at temperaturesof 30 to 50°C a fluid containing carbon dioxide resulting in a non-gelling polycarbonate/methylene/chloride/dioxide pressurized system, in which between 10 and 12 % CO2 are dissolved, c) mixing said pressurized system in a two-component nozzle with additional fluid containing carbon dioxide under a pressure of 50 to 300 bar and at temperatures of 40 to 150°C, to cause rapid precipitation of polycarbonate in the form of solid particles, the quantitative ratio of CO2 to solution being between 1.0 and 15, preferably between 2.5 and 8.0, f) separating methylene chloride and carbon dioxide gases in a compressor/condenser system. The process is further characterized in that a time interval of at least 0.1 second separates step b) and step c), and in that the input of the fluid containing carbon dioxide is controlled to prevent gelation in step b) and in that the pressurized system is above the gelation range in step c).
