Zusammenfassung:In an embodiment, a method of purifying an aromatic alcohol comprises melt polymerizing a dihydroxy compound and a carbonate compound in the presence of a transesterification catalyst to form the aromatic alcohol and a polycarbonate in a melt polymerization facility; removing the aromatic alcohol in an overhead stream; separating the overhead stream in an aromatic alcohol purification unit into a purified aromatic alcohol stream comprising the aromatic alcohol and a purification unit bottom stream; separating the purification unit bottom stream in a diaryl carbonate purification unit into a diaryl carbonate stream and a diaryl carbonate purification unit bottom stream; and cracking a compound in the diaryl carbonate purification unit bottom stream in a cracker unit in the presence of a cracking agent to form a resultant stream comprising additional aromatic alcohol.
