Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for operating a plant for continuous production of an isocyanate by converting a primary amine A with phosgene P whilst maintaining, based on the amino groups of the primary amine, a stoichiometric excess of phosgene in the presence of a solvent L in the liquid phase, using a first, adiabatically operated reaction chamber and a second, isothermally operated reaction chamber. The method is characterised in that a combination of measures, in particular the maintenance of a sufficiently high starting pressure and a sufficiently high starting temperature, is applied in order to bring the plant back into the target state, standard operation, starting from a state of interruption to production.

Abstract: The invention relates to the production of isocyanates by means of phosgenation of the corresponding primary amines in the gas phase, wherein the reactant flows of amine and phosgene are fed separately to a reactor through a pre-heated inert gas flow. Isocyanates within the sense of the invention are, in the broadest sense, all isocyanates whose corresponding amines can be substantially converted into the gas phase without decomposing, with the exception of 1,5-pentane diisocyanate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a continuous process for preparing a polyisocyanate, in which a polyamine and phosgene are first converted predominantly to carbamoyl chloride and amine hydrochloride and only in minor proportions to polyisocyanate, and a portion of the carbamoyl chloride- and amine hydrochloride-containing reaction mixture thus obtained is recycled into the reaction with phosgene, wherein polyamine, phosgene and the carbamoyl chloride- and amine hydrochloride-containing reaction mixture are mixed intimately in a mixing unit. The portion of the carbamoyl chloride- and amine hydrochloride-containing reaction mixture which is not recycled into the phosgenation is worked up to give the polyisocyanate.
