Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing methylenedianiline (MDA) by reacting aniline with formaldehyde in the presence of acid catalysts while minimizing the N-methyl-MDA content as an undesirable by-product. SOLUTION: The semicontinuous method for producing MDA includes: introducing aniline with or without the acid catalyst; feeding formaldehyde with or without the acid catalyst through a mixing means into a circuit in which aniline with or without the acid catalyst and with or without previously added formaldehyde is circulated; and heating a reaction mixture to a temperature above 75°C after feeding in at least 50% of the total amount of formaldehyde to be fed. There is also provided a method for producing polyisocyanates by phosgenation of amines obtainable in such a manner. MDA is used for production of methylene-bis(phenyl isocyanate) (MDI) having a low chlorine content and/or a light color. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
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.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for hydrogenating aromatic nitro compounds to the corresponding amines in the presence of hydrogenation catalysts, which comprises using hydrogenation catalysts in which nickel and platinum are present on a support in the form of an alloy having an atomic ratio of nickel to platinum in the alloy of between 30:70 and 70:30.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the partial or complete separation of a mixture comprising hydrogen chloride and phosgene, possibly solvents and possibly low boilers and inerts as are typically obtained in the preparation of isocyanates by reaction of amines with phosgene, which comprises firstly carrying out a partial or complete condensation of phosgene, then a distillation or stripping step in a column to remove the hydrogen chloride from the bottom product phosgene and subsequently a scrub of the top product hydrogen chloride by means of the process solvent to absorb the phosgene in the process solvent. An after-purification by means of adsorption on activated carbon or by another suitable method can subsequently be carried out to remove solvent residues.
