Abstract: A polyisocyanate production method that can allow effective use of hydrogen chloride produced secondarily in a polyisocyanate production process, while allowing reduction of environmental burdens, and a polyisocyanate production system for performing the polyisocyanate production method. After chlorine is allowed to react with carbon monoxide to produce carbonyl chloride in a carbonyl chloride producing reactor, the carbonyl chloride produced in the carbonyl chloride producing reactor is allowed to react with polyamine in an isocyanate producing reactor to produce polyisocyanate. Then, after hydrochloric gas produced secondarily in the isocyanate producing reactor is purified in a hydrogen chloride purifying column, the purified hydrochloric gas is oxidized in a hydrogen chloride oxidizing reactor to produce chlorine.

Abstract: A method for producing carbamates that enables carbamates to be produced at low costs, with high selectivity and high yield, and in a simple manner, and a method for producing isocyanates that enables isocyanates industrially used to be produced by using the carbamates obtained by the carbamates producing method. Nonaromatic amine selected from the group consisting of aliphatic amine, alicyclic amine, and aralkyl amine is allowed to react with alkylaryl carbonate to thereby produce carbamates. Also, the carbamates thus obtained are thermally decomposed to thereby produce isocyanates. When carbamates are produced in this method, alkyl carbamates can be obtained with high selectivity and at high yield by using simple equipment. Also, when isocyanates are produced in this method, polyisocyanates used industrially as the raw material of polyurethane can be produced in a simple manner and with efficiency.
