    Abstract: Diisocyanates production includes supplying gas flow containing diamine and phosgene to reaction zone, separating surplus phosgene and hydrogen chloride gas from gaseous reaction mixture, feeding back the separated phosgene into the reaction, and separating hydrogen chloride (15 wt.%) from the feedback phosgene stream. The mass fraction of hydrogen chloride in the phosgene-containing stream before mixing with the amine-containing stream is less than 15 wt.%. A chlorobenzene inert medium with gas volume of more than 0.0001-30 is added to the diamine- and/or phosgene-containing gas stream.

The mass fraction of hydrogen chloride in the phosgene-containing stream before mixing with the amine-containing stream is less than 15 wt.%. A chlorobenzene inert medium with gas volume of more than 0.0001-30 is added to the diamine- and/or phosgene-containing gas stream. The reaction of the diamine with phosgene takes place in a reaction chamber (IV) at 0.1-20 bar and at 200-600[deg]C. The flow in the reaction chamber exhibits Bodenstein number of more than 10. The average contact time of the reaction mixture is 0.001-5 seconds, and the molecular ratio of phosgene to amino groups is 1.1: 1-20: 1. The isocyanate is 1,6-diisocyanatohexane, 1-isocyanato-3,3,5 tri methyl-5-(isocyanatomethyl) cyclohexane, 4,4 '-di(isocyanatocyclohexyl)methane and toluylene diisocyanate isomeric mixtures.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an integrated process for preparing trioxane from formaldehyde, comprising the steps of: a) a stream A 1 comprising water and formaldehyde and a recycle stream B 2 consisting substantially of water and formaldehyde are fed to a trioxane synthesis reactor and allowed to react to obtain a product stream A 2 comprising trioxane, water and formaldehyde; b) stream A 2 is fed to a first low-pressure distillation column and distilled at a pressure of from 0.1 to 2.5 bar to obtain a stream B 1 enriched in trioxane and additionally comprising water and formaldehyde, and the recycle stream B 2 consisting substantially of formaldehyde and water; c) stream B 1 and a recycle stream D 1 comprising trioxane, water and formaldehyde are fed to a second low-pressure distillation column and distilled at a pressure of from 0.1 to 2.5 bar to obtain a stream C 1 comprising predominantly trioxane and additionally formaldehyde and water, and a stream C 2 consisting substantially of formaldehyde and water; d) stream C 1 is fed to a high-pressure distillation column and distilled at a pressure of from 0.2 to 17.5 bar to obtain the recycle stream D 1 and a product stream D 2 consisting substantially of trioxane, in which a removal of the low boilers present in streams B 1 or C 1 may be undertaken between steps b) and c) or c) and d).

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a continuous process for preparing isocyanates by reacting primary amines with phosgene, wherein the reaction is carried out in a cascade of at least two tube reactors and the gas phase formed in the reaction is separated off in a phase separator after each reactor and only the liquid phase is passed to the next reactor or to product purification and the reaction volume of the first tube reactor is only a fraction of the total reaction volume.
