Purification of bisphenol-A

TLDR
The use of an inert liquid carrier for the adduct, such as acetone, facilitates the desired separation and purification of the bisphenol-A from the released phenol as discussed by the authors.
Abstract
Pure bisphenol-A can be obtained by subjecting the adduct of the latter and phenol to spray drying conditions and recovering the bisphenol-A from the released phenol. The use of an inert liquid carrier for the adduct, such as acetone, facilitates the desired separation and purification of the bisphenol-A.

Process for obtaining high purity bisphenol A

TL;DR: In this article, a method of purifying bisphenols by crystallizing the crude bis from a single liquid phase containing water, bis and an organic solvent, stripping the remaining mother liquor (containing the impurities) of solvent and water, and mixing it with phenol, contacting the mixture of phenol and mother liquor with a cation exchange resin to convert the impurity to the desired product.

Countercurrent multi-stage water crystallization for aromatic compounds

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-stage countercurrent process for the purification of isopropylidenediphenol was proposed, where the crystals are melted by the addition of heat and water prior to each crystallization step and one crystallization is accomplished at a pre-selected low temperature.

Crystallization of diphenylol alkanes

TL;DR: An unexpected marked increase in the solubility of a gem-diphenylol alkane at a temperature above near the atmospheric boiling point of a solvent selected from the group consisting of benzene, toluene, methylene chloride, ethylene dichloride, and trichloroethylene, enables a process for purifying the gem-dephenyll alkane as mentioned in this paper.
