摘要 |
The invention relates to a process for the continuous preparation of organic isocyanates through the reaction of organic amines with phosgene in the presence of organic solvents under pressure whereby a concentrated phosgene-containing stream is mixed preferentially with an amine-containing stream in a jet mixer to create a combined jet of reacting amine-phosgene mixture, whereby the combined jet is discharged directly into a reactor vessel and the reactor vessel is operated at a temperature above the decomposition temperature of intermediate carbamoyl chloride products which can be formed upon mixing the aforementioned streams, wherein the combined jet is not pre-mixed with bulk reactor contents, wherein the jet mixer provides sufficiently rapid and thorough mixing and thereby enables an initial reaction temperature lower than the bulk reactor vessel temperature, and the combined jet entering the reactor has sufficient momentum to cause entrainment into it of a sufficient quantity of the bulk reactor contents to be rapidly dispersed and reach the bulk reactor temperature. |
