This report presents a cost analysis of Diphenyl Carbonate (DPC) production from phenol. The process examined is similar to Ube process. In this process, dimethyl oxalate (DMO) intermediate is initially produced from methanol. Then, DMO reacts with phenol to produce diphenyl oxalate (DPO), which is finally decarbonylated to DPC. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): US Patent 5892089, issued to Ube in 1999 Keywords: Phenyl Carbonate, Carbonylation, Liquid-Phase Decarbonylation, Carbon Monoxide
