Patent number: 8993803Abstract: A process for preparing phosgene by reaction of a feed stream (1) obtained by combining and mixing a chlorine feed stream (2) and a carbon monoxide feed stream (3), with the carbon monoxide being introduced in a stoichiometric excess over chlorine, in catalyst tubes filled with beds of activated carbon in a reactor R having a bundle of catalyst tubes, to give a product gas mixture (4) which is separated into a liquid, phosgene-comprising product stream (5) and an offgas stream (6) comprising carbon monoxide which is discharged via a pressure-regulating valve, where the reaction of the feed stream (1) in the reactor R and the separation of the product gas mixture (4) are carried out under a pressure in the range from 2.0 to 6.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2010Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: BASF SEInventors: Gerhard Olbert, Kai Thiele, Byoung-Yeon Kim, Heiner Schelling
