Zusammenfassung:In an embodiment, a method of manufacture of a melt polycarbonate comprises melt polymerizing a bisphenol and diphenyl carbonate to form phenol and the melt polycarbonate in a polymerization unit; removing an overhead stream comprising the phenol in a gas phase from the polymerization unit; combining the overhead stream with a gas stream comprising a solvent in a gas phase to form a combined gas stream; wherein the combined gas stream has a freezing point at less than 3 mbar absolute that is less than the triple point of phenol; and condensing the combined gas stream in a condenser to form a condensed stream comprising the phenol and the solvent in a liquid phase.
