Process for producing bisphenol A

Provided is a process for producing bisphenol A having a stable color tone at a high temperature and free from coloration, which comprises reacting phenol with acetone in the presence of an acid ion-exchange resin as a catalyst and an alkyl mercaptan as a cocatalyst, wherein a concentration of an or...

Zusammenfassung:	Provided is a process for producing bisphenol A having a stable color tone at a high temperature and free from coloration, which comprises reacting phenol with acetone in the presence of an acid ion-exchange resin as a catalyst and an alkyl mercaptan as a cocatalyst, wherein a concentration of an organosulfur compound in a crystallization starting material obtained by conducting the reaction under conditions that a reaction temperature is between 60 and 100° C., a phenol to acetone molar ratio is between 6 and 13 and an acetone to alkyl mercaptan molar ratio is between 13 and 25, distilling off unreacted acetone, by-product water and the alkyl mercaptan as the cocatalyst and further distilling off excess phenol is measured, and maintained at 200 weight ppm or less.
