Abstract

The specification provides a method for the manufacture of a high-quality optical polycarbonate that contains few inorganic or organic impurities or other microparticles, and that has a superior hue. Specifically, the specification provides a method for the manufacture of a polycarbonate by the melt polycondensation of a bisphenol and a carbonic diester, wherein the molten mixture of a bisphenol and a carbonic diester is filtered with a membrane filter made of a fluororesin, after which melt polycondensation is conducted.
