Abstract

A process for the production of a stabilized polycarbonate which comprises melt-polycondensing an aromatic dihydroxy compound and a carbonic acid diester in the presence of a polycondensation catalyst and then, after the reaction mixture shows an intrinsic viscosity of at least 0.1, adding at least one stabilizer selected from the group consisting of specific compounds having either a sulfonate group, a sulfonic acid anhydride group or a sulfate group in an amount of 0.01 to 500 ppm of a polycarbonate to be formed, to form a polycarbonate having a desired intrinsic viscosity.
