Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing polyisocyanates by reacting primary amines with phosgene, comprising the following steps: a) mixing the amine with the phosgene; b) reacting the amine with the phosgene in a reactor, inside of which the mixture stays for a period of time and, optionally; c) transferring the discharge from the reactor from step b) into a distillation column. The invention is characterized in that the reactor cited in step b) is provided in the form of a tubular reactor.
Abstract:
The object of the invention is a method for producing isocyanates by reacting amines with phosgene, characterized in that the amine, or a mixture of amine and a solvent in the form of an aerosol, is mixed with gaseous phosgene, and the amine is subsequently reacted with phosgene.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for preparing isocyanate adducts, comprising the following steps a) the isocyanate adduct is reacted with pure ammonia, b) the reaction product arising in step a) is then prepared and, c) the formed amines are guided back into the isocyanate production.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an integrated method for producing trioxane from formaldehyde. According to said method, a flow A1 containing water and formaldehyde and a return flow B2 consisting essentially of water and formaldehyde are introduced into a trioxane synthesis reactor in which the formaldehyde is converted into trioxane, forming a product flow A2 containing trioxane, water and formaldehyde; the flow A2 is introduced into a first distillation column and distilled at a pressure of between 0.1 and 2.5 bar, forming a trioxane-enriched flow B1 and the flow B2 consisting essentially of water and formaldehyde; the flow B1 and a return flow D1 containing trioxane, water and formaldehyde are introduced into a second distillation column and distilled at a pressure of between 0.2 and 17.5 bar, forming a product flow C2 consisting essentially of trioxane and a flow C1 containing trioxane, water and formaldehyde; and the flow C1 is introduced into a third distillation column and distilled at a pressure of between 0.1 and 2.5 bar, forming the return flow D1 containing trioxane, water and formaldehyde and a flow D2 consisting essentially of water and formaldehyde.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing light-coloured polyphenylene-polymethylene-polyisocyanate (PMDI), comprising the steps (a) providing carbon monoxide and chlorine, (b) reacting carbon monoxide with chlorine to form phosgene, (c) reacting the phosgene from step (b) with at least one primary amine with the exception of mono- and polyphenylene-polymethylene polyamines with an excess of phosgene to form an at least one isocyanate containing reaction solution, and hydrogen chloride, (d) separating excess phosgene from the isocyanate-containing reaction solution obtained in step (c), (e) providing at least one polyphenylene-polymethylene polyamine, and (f) reacting at least a portion of the phosgene separated in step (d) with the at least one polyphenylene-polymethylene polyamine to form the light-coloured polyphenylene-polymethylene polyisocyanate.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for sensing water ingress and the resulting corrosion in systems for producing isocyanates by reacting phosgene with one or more primary amines in a solvent. The invention further relates to an apparatus for producing such isocyanates, in the processing part of which probes for monitoring corrosion are arranged at defined positions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the production of isocyanates, preferably diisocyanates and polyisocyanates of the diphenylmethane series (MDI), by reacting an amine with phosgene in the liquid phase or in the gas phase to form the corresponding isocyanates, subsequent removal of the solvent in at least two steps to obtain at least two solvent streams, individual treatment of the at least two solvent streams, and recirculation of at least a portion of the solvent streams.
