Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Isocyanates are produced by reacting a primary amine with phosgene in the gas phase. In this process, the amine is vaporized and then superheated prior to introduction into the reactor. The amine is superheated to a temperature at least 10° C. above dew point before entry into the reactor. A pressure difference between the vaporizer and entry into the reactor of from 1 to 500 mbar is maintained.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A process for the production of an isocyanate comprising reacting a primary amine with phosgene in a reactor in the gas phase the process comprising the following steps: (a) vaporizing the amine in a vaporizer, the vaporized amine containing droplets, (b) superheating the vaporized amine in a feed to the reactor to a temperature at least 15° C. above dew point in the feed directly before entry into the reactor, wherein either (i) no device for drop separat…
