A system and method are provided for producing Bisphenol-A (BPA) using
direct crystallization of BPA in a single crystallization stage. In one
embodiment the method comprises reacting Phenol and Acetone in the
presence of a catalyst to form a product solution including Bisphenol-A
and Phenol; removing a part of the Phenol from the product solution if
required, and providing a selective amount of solvent, so as to obtain a
product solution with the desired phase equilibrium behavior; and feeding
the product solution with a selective composition to a crystallization
stage operated at a selected temperature, so as to recover substantially
pure Bisphenol-A in crystal form.
