[0031] In one embodiment, the gaseous material (gas) in the stripping tower includes evaporated solvent and HCl gas, and the flow rate v of the gaseous material can be 5-15 m / s, and further can be 5-10 m / s, for example 3 m / s, 4 m / s, 6 m / s, 7 m / s, 8 m / s, 9 m / s, 11 m / s, 12 m / s, 13 m / s, 14 m / s.

[0032] In one embodiment, HCl gas enters the stripping tower from the lower part, and the second mixed liquid enters the stripping tower from the upper part. The gas phase material containing HCl gas moves from bottom to top, and the second mixed liquid moves from top to bottom. The two contact and react in the tower.

[0037] In one embodiment, c1 and c2 are measured according to the gel permeation chromatography described below, that is, the mass percentage of the solvent in the mixed solution (the second mixed solution or the third mixed solution) is measured by gel permeation chromatography, and then the mass percentage of the corresponding solvent is subtracted from 100% to obtain c1 or c2. In other words, c3 is the mass percentage of the solvent in the second mixed solution, c1 = 100% - c3; c4 is the mass percentage of the solvent in the third mixed solution, c2 = 100% - c4.

[0038] In one embodiment, c1 and c2 refer to the total content of solutes in the mixed solution.

Wherein, m1 is measured by a flow meter; m2 is first measured by a mass flow meter to measure the total mass flow rate of the second mixed solution, and then obtained by multiplying the total mass flow rate by the concentration of the solute.

[0042] In one embodiment, R represents the reflux ratio of the stripping tower; t represents the contact time between the second mixed liquid and the gaseous material containing HCl gas in the stripping tower, in minutes; v represents the flow rate of the gaseous material in the stripping tower, in m / s; m1 represents the mass flow rate of HCl gas during the stripping treatment, in t / h; m2 represents the mass flow rate of the solute in the second mixed liquid during the stripping treatment, in t / h; c1 represents the mass percentage of the solute in the second mixed liquid, and c2 represents the mass percentage of the solute in the third mixed liquid; c1, c2 and R are all dimensionless numbers; R, t, v, m1, m2, c1, c2 satisfy the following relationship:

Parameters such as t that satisfy the above relationship can improve the stripping effect of the HCl stripper and make the final product MDI crude product have a higher L* and a lighter color.

[0045] In one embodiment, the desolventizing treatment includes a first desolventizing treatment and a second desolventizing treatment. The first desolventizing treatment can be performed in a distillation tower. The specific process can be: the third mixed liquid is sent to the distillation tower kettle, and the distillation tower kettle produced liquid is sent to the evaporator, and the gas phase substance produced by the evaporator is sent back to the distillation tower. The liquid phase substance is the reaction liquid after desolventizing. Further, the reaction liquid after desolventizing can be subjected to a second desolventizing treatment to remove trace solvents therein, and the second desolventizing treatment can be performed by a nitrogen stripping tower.

[0046] In one embodiment, the method for preparing MDI further comprises the step of separating the crude MDI product. The separation step may be: refining and separating the crude MDI product in a distillation tower, the tower bottom temperature of the distillation tower may be 180-250°C, such as 180°C, 200°C, 230°C, 250°C, etc., the tower top pressure may be 10-1000Pa, such as 10Pa, 50Pa, 100Pa, 1000Pa, etc., and obtaining a polymerized MDI product in the tower bottom.

[0048] One embodiment of the present invention provides an MDI product, which is prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method.

[0049] In one embodiment, the L* of the MDI product is 85-93, such as 86, 87, 88, 90, 91, 92.

[0051] Unless otherwise specified, the pressures involved in the present invention refer to absolute pressures.

[0052] The inventors have found that in the HCl stripping step of the preparation method of MDI, in addition to parameters such as operating temperature and pressure, the gas velocity in the stripping tower, the reflux ratio of the stripping tower, the concentration of the mixed liquid before and after stripping, and the contact time of the mixed liquid with the stripping HCl in the stripping tower all have a certain influence on the stripping effect; by optimizing the combination of other influencing factors except temperature and pressure, the stripping effect can be further improved, and the L* of the crude MDI product can be improved.

[0062] 3. Determination of the mass percentage of solute in a mixed solution (e.g. c1 or c2)

[0063] The mass percentage of the solute in the mixed solution is determined and calculated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).
