Description

Method for producing isocyanates and isocyanate production system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of isocyanate, in particular to a method for preparing isocyanate and an isocyanate preparation system.
Background
The isocyanate molecular structure has functional groups of-NCO, and at present, the phosgenation method is mainly adopted at home and abroad to produce the substances. Under the corresponding temperature and pressure conditions, the amine compound, phosgene and inert solvent are mixed to obtain photochemical reaction liquid containing isocyanate and hydrogen chloride, the inert solvent and the phosgene in the photochemical reaction liquid are separated to obtain an isocyanate crude product, and the crude product is separated to obtain the isocyanate product.
The reaction of amine compounds with phosgene to give isocyanates requires two intermediate steps, the so-called "cold phosgenation" and "hot phosgenation" processes. The first step is to form isocyanate precursor acyl chloride and hydrochloride substance by amine compound and excessive phosgene at low temperature, namely 'cold light gasification' reaction; in the second step the isocyanate precursor is decomposed at high temperature into isocyanate and hydrogen chloride, i.e. "hot phosgenation". In cold gasification, generally lower temperatures are used, for example temperatures below 60 ℃, in the case of hot phosgenation temperatures of from 100 ℃ to 200 ℃ are usually reached.
In the process of producing isocyanate by reacting amine compounds with phosgene, as is well known in the art, solid substances such as acyl chlorides and hydrochlorides produced by normal cold reaction, and part of urea byproducts are produced due to poor mass transfer effect, and the substances are also solids. The substances can be directly deposited in the reactor in the thermal reaction process, and can be further catalyzed to generate more solid byproducts, so that the solids cannot be decomposed and finally are deposited in the reaction and solvent separation system, and the substances are required to be shut down and cleaned after running for a certain time, so that the production cost is greatly increased, and the production efficiency is greatly influenced.
Chinese patent CN 107787318B discloses a process for the preparation of isocyanates by passing the product stream obtained after the reaction of an amine compound with phosgene through reactors in series, separating hydrogen chloride generated during the "hot phosgenation" reaction by depressurization to promote the decomposition of the isocyanate precursor. The method only adopts a balance moving mode, has the defect of low decomposition rate, and the reactors connected in series are required to increase equipment and operation investment.
Chinese patent application CN 114787125A discloses a process for the preparation of isocyanates, which process designs the acid chloride decomposition reactor as a bubble column or tray column.
Chinese patent CN 113831262B discloses a method for preparing isocyanate by continuous phosgenation, the method divides the phosgenation process into two stages, a solid separation device is added at the outlet of the second stage phosgenation reaction device, the second stage photochemical reaction liquid is separated to obtain a reaction liquid containing no solid matter and a reaction liquid containing solid matter, the reaction liquid containing no solid matter enters the next stage process, and the reaction liquid containing solid matter is returned to the first photochemical reaction device after being broken and dispersed. The method separates the secondary reaction liquid, and can solve the problem that solid deposition affects long-period stable operation in post-treatment processes such as dephosgene, solvent separation and the like to a certain extent. However, the solids are mainly concentrated at the cold reaction outlet and the initial stage of the thermal reaction in the whole phosgenation reaction process, and the solids easily cause scaling and blocking of the thermal reaction system, so that the heat input and the running stability of equipment are affected. This patent does not describe a solid particle treatment scheme at this stage.

The present inventors have found during the course of the study that the solid particles produced after the reaction of an amine compound and phosgene can be classified into two types according to their densities, namely, light solid particles having a smaller density and heavy solid particles having a larger density. Wherein the density of the light solid particles is less than the liquid phase density of the mixed stream and the density of the heavy solid particles is greater than the liquid phase density of the mixed stream. In the invention, a mixed stream 5 obtained by cold light gasification reaction is firstly subjected to grading treatment and is separated into a gas phase stream 6, a light liquid stream 8 and a heavy liquid stream 7 before entering a hot light gasification reaction stage, wherein the light liquid stream 8 is a feed liquid enriched with light solid particles (mainly containing urea byproducts and mainly containing isocyanate-amine compound containing ureido groups), and the heavy liquid stream 7 is a feed liquid enriched with heavy solid particles (mainly containing acyl chloride, hydrochloride and compound of acyl chloride and hydrochloride); the inventor finds that the light liquid stream 8 is sent to the tower kettle 11 of the rectifying tower 300 in the thermal phosgenation reaction stage, and the heavy liquid stream 7 is sent to the position between the stripping section 12 and the rectifying section 13 of the rectifying tower 300, so that the problems of fouling, scaling and the like of the rectifying tower can be obviously improved, the raw material conversion rate can be improved, the operating period of the rectifying tower can be effectively prolonged, and the operating period of a downstream post-treatment system can be further prolonged.
Preferably, in the step (1), the density of the heavy solid particles is 1.15-1.30 g/cm 3 For example 1.15 g/cm 3 、1.16g/cm 3 、1.18 g/cm 3 、1.20 g/cm 3 、1.23g/cm 3 、1.25 g/cm 3 、1.28 g/cm 3 Or 1.30 g/cm 3 Preferably 1.18 to 1.25 g/cm 3 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the The density of the light solid particles is 0.95-1.12 g/cm 3 For example 0.95g/cm 3 、0.98g/cm 3 、1.00 g/cm 3 、1.02 g/cm 3 、1.05 g/cm 3 、1.10g/cm 3 Or 1.12g/cm 3 Preferably 1.02 to 1.10 g/cm 3 . The mixed stream 5 is subjected to classification treatment to obtain a heavy liquid stream 7 enriched with the heavy solid particles with the preferred density and a light liquid stream 8 enriched with the light solid particles with the preferred density, so that urea byproducts and other solid particles are thoroughly separated, wherein the urea byproducts are enriched in the light liquid stream 8, the heavy solid particles (mainly comprising acyl chloride, hydrochloride and a compound of the acyl chloride and the hydrochloride) are enriched in the heavy liquid stream 7, and the light liquid stream 8 enriched with the light solid particles with the density and the heavy liquid stream 7 enriched with the heavy solid particles with the density are fed into the rectifying tower 300 according to the specific feeding position of the invention for carrying out thermal phosgenation reaction, thereby being beneficial to further improving the anti-blocking effect of a reaction device and further improving the quality of isocyanate products.
