- Aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or araliphatic diisocyanates are usually produced by phosgenation of the corresponding diamines. Regardless of the exact procedure, the reaction product is usually obtained as a mixture of monomeric and polymeric species. This crude process product is worked up in a manner known to the person skilled in the art, the working up generally comprising a multistage vacuum distillation and yielding the monomeric diisocyanate in high purity. Such diisocyanates are used for the production of lightfast, i.e. not yellowing, polyurethanes suitable.
- optical materials such as optical lenses
- increased demands are made on the clarity of the material, i.e. the turbidity values must be very low.
- XDI xylylene diisocyanate

- phosgene xylylene diamine
- the XDI obtained from the reaction is first distilled in the presence of an inert gas under vacuum in order to separate off low-boiling impurities.
- XDI accumulates together with higher molecular weight residue.
- this XDI is separated off from the bottom product as a distillate.
- the distillation takes place, for example, at a pressure of 5 to 200 mmHg (667 Pa to 26665 Pa) at the top of the column and a temperature of 170 to 185 ° C. in the bottom of the column.
- WO 2007/051740 A1 describes a process for the production of mixtures containing diphenylmethane diisocyanate and its higher molecular weight homologues. It is described that a two-phase mixture with a liquid and a solid crystalline phase is formed at room temperature from a polyisocyanate mixture containing diphenylmethane diisocyanate (2-core MDI) and triphenylmethane diisocyanate (3-core MDI). The liquid phase can be separated from this by simply decanting or filtering in order to set the ratio of 2-core to 3-core MDI. The conditions of the possible filtration are not discussed further and, due to the diisocyanates used, neither a lightfast nor a cloud-free diisocyanate is obtained.

- the at least one isocyanate can be produced by phosgenation of the at least one amine in various ways.
- the phosgenation of the at least one amine takes place in the gas phase.
- the amine is preferably evaporated and heated to a temperature within the temperature range from 200 to 600.degree.
- the evaporation and also the use of the amine vapors generated during the evaporation takes place in the presence of an inert gas and / or of vapors of an inert solvent.
- the preferred inert gas is nitrogen.
- Suitable inert solvents are, for example, chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, xylene, chloronaphthalene or mixtures thereof.
- the phosgene used in the phosgenation is preferably used in excess, based on the amine. In general, an amount of phosgene which corresponds to 150 to 350% of theory with regard to the phosgenation reaction which is taking place is sufficient.
- the phosgene stream is preferably heated to a temperature within the range from 200 to 600 ° C. before the reaction.
- the preheated, amine-containing stream and the likewise preheated phosgene stream are preferably passed continuously into a cylindrical reaction space and mixed with one another there.
- Suitable cylindrical reaction spaces are, for example, tubular reactors, which generally consist of steel, glass, alloyed or enamelled steel. They are generally of a length which is sufficient to allow a complete reaction of the amine with the phosgene under the process conditions.
- the dimensions of the reaction space are preferably chosen such that a turbulent flow with a Reynolds number of at least 2500 prevails in the reaction space. This is generally guaranteed when the flow velocity is more than 90 m / s.
- Such a flow rate can be ensured by setting a corresponding differential pressure between the product lines to the reaction space and the exit from the reaction space.
- the pressure in the feed lines is from 200 to 300 mbar (g) and at the exit from the reaction space is from 150 to 200 mbar (g).
- the mixture continuously leaving the reaction space is preferably freed from the isocyanate formed.
- This can be done, for example, by selective condensation in an inert solvent such as chlorobenzene or dichlorobenzene. If the amine-containing stream already contained an inert solvent, it is preferred to use the same solvent here.
- the temperature of the solvent is preferably chosen so that on the one hand it is above the decomposition temperature of the carbamic acid chloride corresponding to the isocyanate and on the other hand the isocyanate condenses or dissolves in the solvent, while phosgene, hydrogen chloride and optionally inert gas pass through the condensation stage in gaseous form. Solvent temperatures in the range from 120 to 200 ° C. are particularly suitable.
- the gas mixture passing through the condensation stage to obtain the at least one isocyanate is then preferably freed from excess phosgene in a manner known per se. This can be done by means of a cold trap, absorption in an inert solvent (e.g. chlorobenzene, MCB, or dichlorobenzene, ODB) kept at a temperature of -10 ° C to 8 ° C or by adsorption and hydrolysis on activated carbon.
- the hydrogen chloride gas passing through the phosgene recovery stage can preferably be recycled in a manner known per se to recover the chlorine required for the phosgene synthesis.
- the phosgenation of the at least one amine takes place in the liquid phase.
- the reaction can then be carried out in various ways. Either the amine is reacted directly with phosgene in an inert liquid medium (base phosgenation) or the amine is first converted to the corresponding salt by reaction with hydrogen chloride gas or carbon dioxide in an inert liquid medium and then reacted with phosgene (hydrochloride or carbaminate phosgenation). Chlorobenzene and / or dichlorobenzene in particular are suitable as the liquid medium for all phosgenations.
- the reaction is carried out in two stages in the inert liquid medium.
- Such reactions are described, for example, in W. Siefken, Liebigs Annalen der Chemie, 562 (1949) p. 96.
- the temperature of the reaction mixture is preferably kept in a range between 0 and 100.degree.
- a solution of phosgene in an inert solvent is preferably initially taken and a solution or suspension of the amine in the same solvent and, if appropriate, further phosgene are then added. In this way, the concentration of free amine is kept low and the undesired formation of urea is suppressed.
- the temperature is increased and is preferably in a range from 120 to 200.degree. It is kept in this range while further phosgene is fed in until the conversion to the isocyanate has ended, that is to say the evolution of HCl comes to a standstill. Phosgene is expediently used in excess. If necessary, the reaction can be carried out in both the cold and hot phosgenation with the introduction of an inert gas.
- the amine is preferably first reacted with hydrogen chloride gas or carbon dioxide in an inert liquid medium to produce the corresponding salt.
- the reaction temperature during this salt formation is preferably in a range from 0 to 80 ° C.
- the phosgenation step as a second step, which is essentially similar to the hot phosgenation from the base phosgenation described above.
- the temperature is therefore preferably kept in the range from 120 to 200 ° C. while phosgene and optionally an inert gas are introduced into the reaction mixture. The introduction takes place until the conversion to the isocyanate has ended.
- phosgene is preferably used in excess in order to accelerate the reaction.
- the phosgene and hydrogen chloride gas that remains is blown out, preferably with an inert gas, preferably with nitrogen. If necessary, filtration can take place in order to remove any solids that may be present, such as unreacted amine hydrochlorides.
- the at least one isocyanate obtained in this way is preferably worked up by distillation before it is further treated according to the invention in steps (B1) or (B2).
- the at least one isocyanate is freed from the solvent used, chlorinated by-products and higher-boiling residues.
- step (A) comprises the distillation of the at least one isocyanate, in particular before steps (B1) or (B2).
- the distillation preferably carried out in step (A) of the process according to the invention can be carried out in a manner known to the person skilled in the art. Since solvents which have a lower boiling point than the respective isocyanate are usually used to prepare the isocyanates, the distillation regularly includes solvent removal. In this distillation step, low-boiling secondary components, in particular chlorinated low-boiling secondary components, can also be separated off.
- the solvent can, if appropriate after further purification steps, be reused in the reaction for preparing the isocyanate, preferably diisocyanate.
- Such a purification process also includes a purifying distillation to separate the isocyanate from the high-boiling residue.

In this way, precursor substances dissolved in the isocyanate, i.e. substances that can contribute to the formation of cloudiness in the isocyanate, can be bound and thus better removed in the subsequent filtration step.
- Such a procedure has an advantageous effect on the shelf life of the isocyanate.
