Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of isocyanate production, and particularly relates to a method for preparing polyisocyanate by reacting amine and phosgene in a liquid phase. Background Art

[0002] Polyisocyanate is one of the important raw materials for the production of polyurethane, and is mainly used in home appliances, cold storage, containers, building insulation materials and other fields. At present, the production of polyisocyanate mainly adopts the liquid phase phosgenation method, which is to mix the logistics containing polyamine and inert solvent with the logistics containing phosgene and inert solvent, and react them in the liquid phase, and then go through the steps of dephosgene, desolvation and separation and refining to obtain the corresponding isocyanate product.

[0003] In the process of generating polyisocyanates, after the mixture of polyamines and phosgene-containing logistics, carbamoyl chloride will be generated first and HCl will be released. HCl will react with amines to generate amine hydrochloride, of which amine hydrochloride is an undesirable product. On the one hand, carbamoyl chloride can be decomposed to generate isocyanate product by heating, while amine hydrochloride needs to react with phosgene to generate carbamoyl chloride first. In addition, hydrochloride is almost insoluble in solvents, so it will form fixed particles that precipitate in the solution, which is not conducive to its further reaction conversion. Unreacted amine hydrochloride will react with isocyanate to generate urea and further reaction products, resulting in loss of yield. At the same time, urea substances have strong viscosity and are easily deposited and attached to equipment and pipelines, causing system blockage, which is not conducive to the long-term stable operation of the device.

[0004] It is well known in the industry that good mixing helps improve the reaction and increase the yield, because when the phosgene concentration is too low, the isocyanate formed will react with excess amine to obtain urea or other unwanted high-viscosity solid byproducts. For this reason, rapid mixing and a short residence time in the reaction chamber are required. For example, patent EP322647 strengthens mixing by increasing the material flow rate of the mixer, but increasing the flow rate will limit the equipment throughput and increase the risk of blockage; patent CN102471071B discloses a structure of an amine and phosgene mixer, adding amine through a port coaxially arranged with the mixing chamber, and adding phosgene through at least two feed ports arranged at right angles to the axis of the mixing chamber, and ensuring that the average residence time of the mixture in the mixing chamber does not exceed 18.5ms, which can reduce urea generation and increase yield. However, the improvement of the reaction by mixing is not unlimited. When the mixing effect reaches a certain level, the effect of continued optimization on the reaction effect is very small, and it will bring other adverse effects, such as easy blockage of the equipment.

[0005] In addition, the reaction yield can be improved and the content of byproduct urea can be reduced by optimizing some reaction conditions. CN116034102A discloses that the amount of amine hydrochloride generated by the reaction can be controlled by adjusting the ratio of amine to phosgene, adjusting the amount of solvent mixed with amine, adjusting the content of HCl in the phosgene solution, etc., thereby improving the reaction quality. Patent CN111170890B discloses that the reaction effect can be improved by controlling the temperature of the reaction amine solution and the phosgene solution within a certain range, and then controlling the reaction mixer outlet temperature within a certain range. However, by increasing the ratio of phosgene to amine, increasing the amount of solvent mixed with amine, controlling the HCl content in the mixed phosgene solution, controlling the temperature of the amine solution and the phosgene solution, etc., it is inevitable to increase the operating cost, increase the equipment investment, or increase the circulation amount of the highly toxic substance phosgene in the system, etc., which are all disadvantageous. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to overcome at least one defect of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a method for preparing polyisocyanate, which can further improve the reaction yield by improving the reaction of polyamine and phosgene in the liquid phase.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for preparing polyisocyanate, which comprises the following steps:

[0008] S1: sending the polyamine solution and the phosgene solution to the first reactor for phosgenation reaction to obtain a first reactant stream;

[0009] S2: sending the outlet stream of the first reactor to the second reactor to continue phosgenation reaction to obtain a second reaction stream;

[0010] S3: Send the outlet stream of the second reactor to the third reactor for further phosgenation reaction to obtain the third reaction stream

[0011] S4: removing phosgene and HCl from the outlet stream of the third reactor to obtain a fourth reaction stream;

[0012] S5: performing a desolventizing treatment on the fourth reaction stream to obtain a crude polyisocyanate product;

[0013] The parameters in step S2 satisfy the following relationship:

[0014]

[0015] Where: T represents the reaction temperature of the phosgenation reaction in the second reactor, in °C,

[0016] t represents the residence time of the phosgenation reaction in the second reactor, in seconds,

[0017] P represents the pressure of the phosgenation reaction in the second reactor, in bar.

[0018] C A Represents the concentration of amine hydrochloride in the second reactant stream, in mol / L.

[0019] It should be noted that the above formula (1) only represents the numerical relationship between the above parameters T, t, CA, and P, and there is no corresponding relationship between the units on both sides of the formula. The parameters in step S2 satisfying the above relationship can improve the reaction yield, make the NCO content of the final product crude isocyanate higher, and reduce scaling and clogging in the system.

[0020] In the present invention, the polyisocyanate is selected from diphenylmethylene diisocyanate (MDI), polyphenylmethylene polyisocyanate (PMDI), toluene diisocyanate (TDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), xylylene diisocyanate (XDI) or a combination of two or more thereof, preferably diphenylmethylene diisocyanate (MDI), polyphenylmethylene polyisocyanate (PMDI), toluene diisocyanate (TDI) or a combination of two or more thereof.

[0021] The inventor has found that in the process of synthesizing polyisocyanates by liquid phase phosgenation, the amount of amine hydrochloride generated is mainly affected by the concentration of polyamines. The higher the concentration of polyamines, the greater the proportion of amine hydrochloride generation, the lower the yield of the final reaction, and the more serious the blockage of the system. However, reducing the concentration of polyamines will lead to increased operating energy consumption and increased equipment size under the same operating load, and the corresponding equipment investment will also increase. These are all unfavorable, so how to quickly realize hydrochloride conversion and improve reaction quality under a higher amine hydrochloride generation ratio is crucial. The inventor has found through experiments that the conversion rate of amine hydrochloride is mainly related to the temperature, pressure, residence time in the reactor and the concentration of hydrochloride and phosgene in the liquid phase. It is also found that if some parameters in the reactor in a specific process such as temperature (not too high) and pressure (not too low) are controlled, the improvement of the reaction yield will also have a certain impact, because the decomposition rate of acyl chloride under high temperature and low pressure will also increase rapidly, and the isocyanate formed by decomposition will react with amine hydrochloride to form urea.

[0022] On this basis, the inventors further studied and found that by screening specific related reaction parameters through the reaction kinetics of generating amine hydrochloride, and establishing a fitting formula based on the relationship between the parameters, when these specific parameters meet the fitting formula in the patent, the reaction yield and product quality can be further improved.

[0023] Therefore, to achieve the above purpose, in the preparation method of the present invention, the relevant conditions of the reaction are defined in step S2.
