Process for producing reagent grade hydrochloric acid from the manufacture of organic isocyanates.

摘要

Reagent grade hydrochloric acid having an iron content of less than 200 p.p.b. is made from an industrial organic isocyanate manufacturing process by removing hydrogen chloride from organic isocyanates produced in the reaction between phosgene and an organic amine, converting the hydrogen chloride to concentrated aqueous hydrochloric acid, and contacting the acid with a strongly basic anion exchange resin.
