Abstract

A process for preparing a polycarbonate which comprises performing a transesterification and a polycondensation reaction with a diarylcarbonate and dihydroxyaryl compound, in a reaction apparatus composed of stainless steel comprising at least 12% by weight of Ni, and at least 22% by weight of Cr, and having Fe as the remaining main component. A polycarbonate which has a good color, is stable to hydrolysis and resistant to heat-yellowing is the resulting product.
