Zusammenfassung:An aromatic polycarbonate composition having less than 300 parts per billion each of ionic impurities, particularly sulfate and chloride ions is obtained by devolatilizing the ionic impurities from a polycarbonate composition employing an aqueous medium of about 1% by weight based on the weight of the polycarbonate composition. Preferably the devolatilizing is carried out in an extruder during compounding the polycarbonate composition and preferably under a vacuum. Also, the extruded strands of polycarbonate resin are quenched in a water bath having a sulfate and chloride ion content of less than 300 ppb each.
