Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic synthesis technology, and in particular to a method and system for preparing toluene diisocyanate using a phosgene method with a light solvent system. Background Technology

[0002] Toluene diisocyanate (TDI), with the molecular formula C9H6N2O2, is a colorless or pale yellow transparent liquid with a strong, pungent odor. It is highly irritating and corrosive to the eyes, skin, and respiratory mucous membranes. TDI readily changes color upon exposure to light, is insoluble in water, but miscible with organic solvents such as ether, ethanol, acetone, chlorobenzene, and carbon tetrachloride. It is chemically reactive and readily reacts with compounds containing active hydrogen. It reacts rapidly with water to form carbamic acid, which then decomposes into primary amines and CO2, easily leading to increased system pressure or foaming. Therefore, strict moisture control is necessary during production. Simultaneously, TDI can react efficiently with hydroxyl-terminated resins (such as polyester polyols and polyether polyols) to form polyurethane segments, making it a core raw material for flexible foams, coatings, adhesives, and elastomers. TDI is prone to violent exothermic reactions when in contact with strong bases or tertiary amine catalysts, posing safety hazards. At temperatures above 45°C or in the presence of catalysts such as metal salts or organotin compounds, it is prone to self-polymerization to form dimers and oligomers, reducing product purity and potentially causing equipment blockage.

[0003] TDI is the core aromatic isocyanate monomer in the polyurethane industry, with wide downstream applications and inelastic demand. It is mainly used in flexible polyurethane foams (approximately 78%), coatings (approximately 8%), adhesives (approximately 6%), and elastomers (approximately 6%), covering key applications such as residential furniture, automotive interiors, building corrosion protection, and high-end sealing components. With the advancement of policies promoting new energy vehicles and building energy conservation, the demand for TDI in high-end flexible foams and energy-saving insulation materials continues to grow, demonstrating strong industry growth momentum.

[0004] Currently, the industrial production technology of TDI is mainly divided into two major systems: the phosgene method and the non-phosgene method. Among them, the phosgene method, with its mature process route, stable product yield, and advantages of large-scale production, is the only mainstream technology for TDI industrial production at home and abroad. Toluene diamine, solvent, and fresh phosgene are first mixed and fed into a phosgenation cold reaction tower for cold reaction. The resulting product is fed into a phosgenation hot reaction tower for hot reaction. Hydrogen chloride and some phosgene are collected from the top of the phosgenation reaction tower and sent to a hydrogen chloride purification tower for separation and purification. At the same time, some phosgene and HCl are collected as a side stream into a phosgene purification tower for further recovery and utilization. The crude product containing the target product TDI is collected from the bottom of the phosgenation reaction tower. Since the crude TDI product still contains some phosgene, solvent, and tar produced in the reaction, etc., if it is directly fed into subsequent processes, it will affect the purity of the product and the stable operation of the equipment. Based on industrial production experience and relevant literature, crude TDI products require multi-step refining: First, they are sent to a phosgene removal tower to completely remove residual phosgene through a specific separation process; the material after phosgene removal enters the first desolventizing tower and the second desolventizing tower in sequence, where light solvents in the system are gradually removed using distillation separation technology; finally, the material after solvent removal enters the product refining tower, where fine separation effectively separates the tar from the TDI product, ultimately obtaining a high-purity TDI product that meets the requirements of industrial applications.

[0005] However, existing conventional TDI production methods generally suffer from low yields. Summary of the Invention

[0068] The present invention achieves the following technical effects compared to the prior art: Compared with existing technologies, this invention abandons the traditional single-stage, atmospheric pressure, and extensive phosgene removal mode, and innovatively constructs a three-stage gradient phosgene removal coupling system. This system consists of a first phosgene removal tower, a second phosgene removal tower, and a third phosgene removal tower connected in series, forming an integrated degassing process of "low-pressure pre-removal - atmospheric pressure fine removal - high-vacuum deep removal". The first phosgene removal tower pre-removes most of the free phosgene in the system at an operating pressure of 3-4 bar. After collecting the light components containing phosgene and solvent at the top of the tower, the liquid phase enters the phosgene absorption tower for phosgene absorption, and the gas phase enters the phosgene refining tower for phosgene refining. The material containing solvent, TDI, and trace amounts of phosgene collected from the bottom of the first phosgene removal tower directly enters the bottom of the second phosgene removal tower. The second phosgene removal tower finely removes the remaining phosgene components under atmospheric pressure of 0.9-1.5 bar. The liquid phase at the top of the tower... Phosgene is absorbed in the phosgene absorption tower, and the gaseous phase is purified in the phosgene refining tower. The heavy components in the bottom of the second phosgene removal tower are directly fed into the feed section of the third phosgene removal tower. The third phosgene removal tower removes trace amounts of residual phosgene under a high vacuum of 20-50 kPa. The high-purity phosgene removed at the top of the tower is directly recycled in a dedicated phosgene absorption tower. The crude TDI material after phosgene removal in the bottom of the third phosgene removal tower is directly fed into an independent vacuum decoking tower. The independent vacuum decoking tower efficiently separates the heavy component tar by adjusting the appropriate bottom temperature. The decoked material is directly fed into a closed-loop material recycling system. The closed-loop material recycling system accurately captures incompletely converted toluene diamine intermediates, light solvents, and trace amounts of unreacted phosgene, and returns them to the reaction unit to participate in the photochemical reaction again. The recycled material is then reused after deep distillation, impurity removal, and dehydration in the solvent refining tower. Compared to traditional processes, this coupled system eliminates the crude distillation and coke removal, unidirectional linear material conveying, and decentralized equipment layout with simple solvent filtration and reuse. It avoids problems such as incomplete degassing, severe tar entrainment, significant material waste, low solvent purity leading to frequent side reactions, component backmixing, and loss of effective components. It also reduces mixing losses and side reaction risks caused by differences in material composition between different processes. The device features a novel design, compact structure, and scientific principle. Through optimized process flow and precise parameter control, it significantly improves product quality and raw material utilization while reducing production costs, meeting the dual requirements of environmental protection and economy in modern chemical production. Actual operation verification shows that this invention stably increases the purity of TDI products from 99.5-99.8% in traditional processes to 99.99% and above, significantly improving resource utilization efficiency and production safety, and possessing outstanding industrial application value. The method of this invention solves the core technical defects of the original single-stage degassing process, such as low yield, safety hazards caused by residual phosgene, serious material loss, and high energy consumption and investment costs during long-term operation. The slight increase in purity is only an additional effect brought about by process optimization. The entire improvement scheme has significant effects in improving TDI yield, enhancing production safety, and achieving material recycling and consumption reduction, and has clear technical progress.

Toluene diamine (MTD) and solvent are mixed at a mass ratio of MTD:solvent of approximately 1:7 and then dehydrated in a drying system before being pumped into the phosgenation cold reaction tower to react with phosgene. The operating pressure of the phosgenation heat reaction cold reaction tower is 15 bar, and the mass ratio of phosgene to the amine compound is 7.1. The effluent from the phosgenation cold reaction tower is directly fed into the phosgenation heat reaction tower for further reaction. The operating pressure of the phosgenation heat reaction tower is 15 bar. The gas phase collected from the top of the phosgenation heat reaction tower is condensed and refluxed back to the top of the tower. The temperature at the top of the phosgenation heat reaction tower is 40°C. The uncondensed gas phase contains a large amount of phosgene and enters the HCl stripping tower from the top to complete the separation of HCl and phosgene. The effluent from the top of the HCl stripping tower is partially condensed by the condenser and used as reflux. HCl is collected from the condenser gas phase and sent to the outside. The phosgene solution in the bottom of the HCl stripping tower is refluxed back to the top of the phosgenation heat reaction tower. The concentrations of HCl sent to the outside and phosgene refluxed to the top of the phosgenation heat reaction tower are 91% and 32.1%, respectively. Excess phosgene collected from the side stream of the phosgenation heat reaction tower is sent to the phosgene purification tower for purification. The side stream temperature is 92°C. The operating pressure of the phosgene purification tower is 1 bar. The concentrations of HCl and phosgene entering the phosgene purification tower are 1.2% and 98.8%, respectively. HCl is collected from the top of the phosgene refining tower; phosgene is collected from the bottom of the phosgene refining tower. The bottom product of the phosgenation thermal reaction tower is a crude TDI solution containing phosgene, solvent, tar, and TDI. The bottom temperature of the phosgenation thermal reaction tower is 150℃, with a TDI concentration of 12.21%, a phosgene concentration of 46.53%, and a solvent concentration of 41.26%, which enters subsequent processing steps. The total residence time of the materials in the cold and hot reaction vessels of the phosgenation reaction system is 0.35 hours. The crude TDI solution from the bottom of the phosgenation thermal reaction tower enters the phosgene removal tower, which operates at a pressure of 3 bar. Most of the phosgene and a small amount of HCl are collected from the top of the phosgene removal tower and sent to the phosgene refining tower for further refining. The top temperature of the phosgene removal tower is 40℃. The HCl and phosgene concentrations entering the phosgene refining tower are 13.2% and 86.8%, respectively. The bottom product of the phosgene removal tower is a crude TDI solution containing some phosgene, tar, and TDI. The bottom temperature of the phosgene removal tower is 170℃, with a TDI concentration of 13.32%, a phosgene concentration of 1.5%, a solvent concentration of 84.68%, and a tar concentration of 0.5%. This crude TDI solution then enters the first solvent removal tower for solvent removal. The operating pressure of the first solvent removal tower is 1.2 bar. Most of the vapor phase at the top of the first solvent removal tower is refluxed after condensation, and a small amount of uncondensed solvent is sent to the solvent refining tower for solvent purification. The top temperature of the first solvent removal tower is 102℃. The bottom product of the first solvent removal tower is a crude TDI solution containing some solvent, TDI, and tar, with a bottom temperature of 165℃. The TDI concentration is 60.51%, the solvent concentration is 39.49%, and the tar concentration is 0.5%.The solvent is then fed into a second desolventizing tower, operating at 3 kPa. Most of the vapor condensation at the top of the second desolventizing tower is refluxed, with a small amount of uncondensed solvent also fed into a solvent refining tower; the top temperature is 40°C. The bottom of the second desolventizing tower yields a crude TDI solution containing tar and TDI; the bottom temperature is 158°C, with a TDI concentration of 88.13%, a solvent concentration of 17.37%, and a tar concentration of 0.5%. This crude TDI solution is then fed into a TDI refining tower. The TDI refining tower operates at 3 kPa. The top of the TDI refining tower yields a solvent containing a small amount of TDI and light components; the top temperature is 52°C, with a TDI concentration of 0.02% and a solvent concentration of 99.98%. A qualified TDI product is collected from the side stream of the TDI refining tower at 163°C, with a TDI purity of 99.92%. A TDI material containing a small amount of tar is collected from the bottom of the TDI refining tower at 173°C. The TDI concentration was 20.52%, and the tar concentration was 79.48%.

[0074] In Comparative Example 1, the lack of a multi-stage gradient degassing, vacuum decoking, and material recycling system resulted in a reduced TDI yield. Furthermore, the absence of a phosgene absorption tower and solvent refining tower for subsequent processing reduced production safety. Ultimately, this led to a double increase in investment costs and operating energy consumption. The single-stage phosgene removal process in Comparative Example 1 had limited separation efficiency, and residual phosgene within the system could not be fully removed and recovered. This not only resulted in continuous side reactions that damaged TDI products, but also caused a large amount of target products to be carried in the tar. Additionally, the lack of solvent refining and material recycling units made it difficult to reuse solvents and unconverted intermediates, leading to high overall operating costs in terms of long-term raw material consumption, hazardous waste treatment, and tail gas safety management. This invention upgrades single-stage phosgene removal to a three-stage gradient degassing process, incorporating a vacuum decoking tower, material recycling tower, phosgene absorption tower, and solvent refining tower. While the addition of new equipment increases initial investment, and the multi-stage vacuum and recycling processes slightly increase operating energy consumption, the entire system efficiently removes residual phosgene in stages, recovers entrained TDI from tar, and enables solvent recycling, significantly improving overall product yield. It also reduces the risk of phosgene leakage at the source, minimizing ongoing costs for safety maintenance and hazardous waste disposal. The core innovation of this invention is not a significant increase in product purity, but rather addressing the shortcomings of the original single-stage removal process, such as poor material recovery and weak safety control. Considering the entire production cycle, the benefits of raw material savings and increased capacity fully cover the increased energy consumption from the new equipment, demonstrating significant technological advancement value.

[0075] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
