2. Description of the Related Art It is known to produce bisphenol by reacting a phenol compound with a ketone in the presence of an acidic catalyst. The most widely practiced is the reaction of phenol with acetone to produce bisphenol A. Since various by-products are generated in this reaction, various proposals have been made to improve the selectivity of the target bisphenol A. For example, in US Pat. No. 4,400,555, the production of by-products is suppressed by using a reactor in which a plurality of reactors are connected in series and dividing and supplying acetone to each reactor. It is described that bisphenol A can be produced with high selectivity.

In order to partially neutralize the acidic cation exchange resin with these amines, these amines are dissolved in a suitable solvent such as water, alcohol, ketone, ether, phenol and the like, and are previously dissolved in the same solvent. What is necessary is just to mix it with the free acidic cation exchange resin dispersed in, and to stir it. The amount of the amine to be used in the cation exchange resin is 2 to 40% by mole, preferably 3 to 20% by mole as an amino group based on the functional groups of the cation exchange resin. If the amount is less than 2 mol%, the catalytic effect of the mercapto group is insufficient, and if it exceeds 40 mol%, the catalytic activity is lowered due to the decrease in free functional groups, and neither is preferred. The catalyst thus partially neutralized and prepared is preferably washed with a phenol compound to be used in the reaction to replace the solvent, and then supplied to the production of bisphenol.

The reaction can be carried out in either a fixed bed system or a suspension bed system. The reaction is carried out in a flow system in which a phenol compound and a ketone are continuously supplied to a plurality of, usually 2 to 8, preferably 2 to 4 fixed bed reactors or suspension bed reactors preferably connected in series. It is. In the case of the fixed bed system, the liquid hourly space velocity is usually 0.2 to 5 hr -1 . The supply of the phenolic compound and the ketone to the reactor is usually performed by feeding the whole amount of the phenolic compound to the first reactor, and the ketone is dividedly supplied to the first reactor and at least one subsequent reactor. . If desired, the phenolic compound may also be fed split into the first reactor and at least one subsequent reactor, in which case the first reactor is fed with at least 80% of the total phenolic compound Is preferred. If the supply ratio of the phenol compound to the second and subsequent reactors is too large, the selectivity of the target bisphenol may decrease, which is not preferable. Note that, as the phenol compound, a recovered phenol containing impurities recovered from the bisphenol production process can also be used. 10 to 70%, preferably 25 to 60%, of the total amount of ketone is fed to each reactor in portions. It is usually preferred to feed 25-60% of the total ketone to the first reactor and to split feed the remaining ketone to each subsequent reactor.
When supplying ketone to the subsequent reactors except for the first reactor, the conversion of ketone in the reaction solution to which ketone is supplied is preferably 60% or more, particularly preferably 85% or more. When ketone is supplied into a reaction solution having a low conversion of ketone, the selectivity of a target bisphenol tends to decrease. The production of bisphenol according to the method of the present invention can be carried out batchwise if desired. In this case, it is preferred that the whole amount of the phenol and a part of the ketone are first supplied to the reactor, and the remaining ketone is continuously supplied to the reactor or divided over time.
