An industrial application of process intensification in the manufacture of dimethyl and diphenyl carbonate

In this work, we present a novel process flowsheet for the manufacturing of dimethyl and diphenyl carbonate, both intermediates for the industrial production of polycarbonate. In this new arrangement, a ternary mixture of dimethyl carbonate, methanol and water is split by means of a dividing wall di...

Summary:In this work, we present a novel process flowsheet for the manufacturing of dimethyl and diphenyl carbonate, both intermediates for the industrial production of polycarbonate. In this new arrangement, a ternary mixture of dimethyl carbonate, methanol and water is split by means of a dividing wall distillation column and a decanter.
