[0032] Please see Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an isocyanate preparation apparatus, comprising at least: a heater 11, a reaction vessel 12, a gas input pipeline 13, a condenser 15, a receiving bottle 16, a distillation column 20, a condenser 22, a vacuum pump 17, and a gas output pipeline 18, etc. The reaction vessel 12 is disposed within the heater 11, and the reaction vessel 12 includes at least a first opening 121, a second opening 122, and a third opening 123, each opening connecting the inside and outside of the reaction vessel 12. The gas input pipeline 13 is connected to the first opening 121. The condenser 15 is connected to the second opening 122, the receiving bottle 16 is connected to the end of the condenser 15 away from the second opening 122, the distillation column 20 is connected to the third opening 123, the inlet of the condenser 22 is connected to the end of the distillation column 20 away from the third opening 123, and one outlet returns to the distillation column 20. The vacuum pump 17 includes a first inlet 171 and a second inlet 172, etc. The first inlet 171 is connected to the condenser 15, the second inlet 172 is connected to the condenser 22, and the gas output pipeline 18 is connected to the outlet of the vacuum pump 17. In the preparation apparatus provided by this utility model, by setting the gas input pipeline 13 and the gas output pipeline 18, the stable gas can circulate in the reaction vessel 12 or the distillation column 20, which helps to control the reaction rate and improve the mass transfer effect, thereby improving the yield and purity of isocyanate.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this invention, heater 11 provides a heat source for the catalytic decomposition and preparation of isocyanate. Heater 11 can be, for example, an electric heating mantle or an oil bath.

[0034] Please see Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment of this invention, the reaction vessel 12 is disposed within the heater 11 and is used to hold the reaction raw materials. The reaction raw materials include methyl dicarboxylate, a catalyst, and a solvent. The methyl dicarboxylate includes, for example, at least one of dimethyl toluene-2,4-dicarboxylate (TDC), methylene diphenyl dicarboxylate (MDC), or dimethyl-hexane-1,6-dicarboxylate (HDC). The catalyst includes, for example, at least one of zinc oxide, bismuth oxide, cerium oxide, iron oxide, or zinc powder. The solvent includes, for example, at least one of dimethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate, dioctyl sebacate, liquid paraffin, or naphthenic oil. Specifically, after the reaction raw materials are heated by the heater 11, the methyl dicarboxylate is catalytically decomposed into isocyanate products and methanol byproducts. The heating temperature is, for example, 220℃-260℃. When methyl dicarboxylate includes TDC, the isocyanate product includes toluene diisocyanate (TDI). When methyl dicarboxylate includes MDC, the isocyanate product includes methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). When methyl dicarboxylate includes HDC, the isocyanate product includes hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI).

[0035] Please see Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the reactor 12 includes at least three openings, each opening connecting the inside and outside of the reactor 12. In this embodiment, the reactor 12 includes, for example, a first opening 121, a second opening 122, and a third opening 123.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the gas input pipeline 13 is connected to the first opening 121 for supplying a stabilizing gas into the reaction vessel 12. The stabilizing gas includes, for example, at least one of nitrogen and an inert gas, and the inert gas includes, for example, at least one of helium and argon.

[0037] Please see Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment of this invention, the condenser 15 is connected to the second opening 122. Specifically, methanol, a byproduct generated from the catalytic decomposition reaction of the reactants in the reactor 12, enters the condenser 15 and is cooled into a liquid, while the isocyanate product remains in the reactor 12, thereby achieving the separation of the isocyanate product and the methanol byproduct. The condenser 15 can be, for example, a serpentine condenser, a spherical condenser, or a straight condenser.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a switching valve 14 is provided between the condenser 15 and the second opening 122 to control whether the methanol by-product in the reactor 12 flows to the condenser 15.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the receiving bottle 16 is connected to the end of the condenser tube 15 away from the second opening 122 to hold the methanol byproduct cooled by the condenser tube 15.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a vacuum pump 17 is also provided on one side of the condenser tube 15. The vacuum pump 17 includes at least a first inlet 171, a second inlet 172, and an outlet, etc. The first inlet 171 is connected to the condenser tube 15. Specifically, the first inlet 171 is connected to the end of the condenser tube 15 near the receiving bottle 16.

[0041] Please see Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment of this invention, the outlet of the vacuum pump 17 is connected to a gas output pipe 18. Specifically, the gas input pipe 13 delivers stabilizing gas into the reactor 12, carrying away the residual heat generated by the catalytic decomposition reaction within the reactor 12. The stabilizing gas is heated and then flows out of the preparation device through the switching valve 14, condenser 15, first inlet 171, and gas output pipe 18 for reuse. This cycle repeats continuously, allowing the stabilizing gas to circulate continuously within the reactor 12, condenser 15, and vacuum pump 17. By setting up the gas input pipe 13, vacuum pump 17, and gas output pipe 18, the stabilizing gas continuously circulates within the reactor 12. The stabilizing gas can carry away the reaction heat within the reactor 12, reducing the problem of incomplete material decomposition or aggravated side reactions caused by local overheating. This improves the yield and selectivity of the isocyanate product and also allows for the recovery and reuse of reaction heat, saving energy. Simultaneously, the introduction of stabilizing gas disturbs the gas in the reaction system. This disturbance disrupts the boundary layer at the gas-liquid or gas-solid interface, reducing mass transfer resistance and accelerating the diffusion rate of reactants and products between phases, thereby improving mass transfer efficiency. It also improves the flow state of the fluid within the reaction system, resulting in a more uniform fluid distribution in the reactor 12. This facilitates sufficient contact between methyl dicarboxylate and the catalyst, enhancing mass transfer efficiency and promoting the catalytic decomposition reaction. Furthermore, the introduction of stabilizing gas dilutes the concentration of reactants within the reactor 12. A decrease in reactant concentration alters the reaction rate; therefore, by adjusting the flow rate of the stabilizing gas, the degree of concentration reduction can be precisely controlled, enabling effective control of the reaction rate. In addition, the introduction of stabilizing gas can adjust the initial vacuum level in the reactor 12 and condenser 15 to, for example, 50-100 kPa, ensuring the normal progress of the catalytic decomposition reaction.

[0042] Please see Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the distillation column 20 is connected to the third opening 123. Specifically, in the reactor 12, the reactants undergo a catalytic decomposition reaction to generate isocyanate products and methanol byproducts. The methanol byproducts flow out of the reactor 12 through the condenser 15, while the isocyanate products remain in the reactor 12. However, unreacted reactants still remain in the reactor 12. Therefore, by setting up the distillation column 20, the isocyanate products and reactants in the reactor 12 are separated, thereby achieving the purpose of purifying the isocyanate products. The distillation column 20 is, for example, a packed column, including a column body 201, packing 202, and a top 203. One end of the column body 201 is connected to the third opening 123, and the other end is connected to the top 203. The packing 202 is filled inside the column body 201. Specifically, after the reactants and isocyanate products in reactor 12 are naturally cooled to, for example, 120°C-160°C, the second vacuum level in distillation column 20 is adjusted to 1KPa-10KPa. The isocyanate products are then naturally evaporated into gas and rise sequentially into column body 201 and column top 203. By directly connecting distillation column 20 to the third opening 123, the catalytic decomposition reaction and distillation process are combined. This eliminates the need to transfer the products from reactor 12 and to reheat the reactants and isocyanate products. The products are directly distilled and purified in situ through distillation column 20. This effectively prevents isocyanate polymerization during secondary heating, improving its purity and yield. Furthermore, it reduces energy consumption, further achieving energy conservation and maximizing economic benefits.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a shut-off valve 19 is provided between the distillation column 20 and the reactor 12 to control whether the isocyanate product gas in the reactor 12 flows to the distillation column 20.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a temperature detection unit 21 is provided inside the top 203 of the tower. One end of the temperature detection unit 21 extends into the top 203 of the tower, and the other end extends outside the top 203 of the tower. By providing the temperature detection unit 21, the temperature of the top 203 of the tower can be monitored, thereby monitoring the purity of the isocyanate extracted from the top 203 of the tower.

[0045] Please see Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the inlet of the condenser 22 is connected to the end of the distillation column 20 away from the third opening 123, and the outlet includes at least three outlets, such as the first outlet 221, the second outlet 222, and the third outlet 223. The first outlet 221 returns to the distillation column 20. Specifically, the inlet of the condenser 22 is connected to the end of the column top 203 away from the column body 201, and the first outlet 221 is connected to the end of the column top 203 near the column body 201. By setting up the condenser 22, when purifying the isocyanate product, the switching valve 14 is closed and the shut-off valve 19 is opened. The isocyanate product gas rises sequentially into the column body 201, the column top 203, and the condenser 22. After the isocyanate product gas is condensed into liquid in the condenser 22, part of the liquid flows back to the column top 203 and the column body 201, where it comes into countercurrent contact with the rising isocyanate product gas in the column body 201 for mass transfer.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this invention, the inlet of the product collection tank 24 is connected to the second outlet 222. Specifically, the condenser 22 sends the condensed isocyanate product into the product collection tank 24 for storage.

[0047] Please see Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this invention, a reflux regulating valve 23 is provided between the product collection tank 24, the condenser 22, and the top of the tower 203. By providing the reflux regulating valve 23, the reflux ratio can be adjusted to improve the purity of the isocyanate product in the product collection tank 24. The reflux ratio is, for example, (10-1):1.

[0048] Please see Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the third outlet 223 is connected to the second inlet 172 of the vacuum pump 17. In this embodiment, the third outlet 223 and the outlet of the product collection tank 24 are connected in parallel and then connected to the second inlet 172. Specifically, the stabilizing gas enters the reactor 12 through the gas inlet pipe 13. After passing through the shut-off valve 19, distillation column 20, condenser 22, and product collection tank 24, part of it flows out of the condenser 22 from the third outlet 223 and reaches the second inlet 172, while the other part flows out of the product collection tank 24 from the outlet and reaches the second inlet 172, enters the vacuum pump 17, and then enters the gas outlet pipe 18 through the outlet of the vacuum pump 17, flowing out of the preparation device. This cycle repeats continuously, allowing the stabilizing gas to continuously circulate within the reactor 12, distillation column 20, condenser 22, product collection tank 24, and vacuum pump 17. This achieves the purpose of controlling the second vacuum degree in the mass transfer separation process within the distillation column 20, thereby lowering the boiling point of the isocyanate product. Secondary heating of the isocyanate product in the reactor 12 is unnecessary; the isocyanate product in the reactor 12 can naturally evaporate into gas for separation, thus reducing the energy consumption of mass transfer separation. The second vacuum degree is, for example, 1 kPa-10 kPa. Furthermore, during the mass transfer separation process, a stabilizing gas is introduced into the reactor 12 and the distillation column 20. On the one hand, this can blow out volatile impurities in the system. Under the action of the stabilizing gas flow, the impurities leave the system with the gas flow, thereby achieving the separation of impurities from isocyanate products. On the other hand, it will change the phase equilibrium relationship of the system, causing the distribution of impurities between the gas phase and the liquid or solid phase to change, prompting more impurities to enter the gas phase and be discharged with the stabilizing gas flow, thus achieving the purpose of separating impurities.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the preparation device further includes a differential pressure gauge 25. The differential pressure gauge 25 is installed between the parallel main line between the outlet of the product collection tank 24 and the third outlet 223, and between the second inlet 172, to measure the vacuum degree between the reactor 12, the distillation column 20, the condenser 22 and the product collection tank 24. Based on the measured vacuum degree, the vacuum pump 17 can be adjusted to change the vacuum degree, thereby further reducing the boiling point of the isocyanate product and reducing the energy consumption of mass transfer separation.

[0050] To further illustrate the isocyanate preparation apparatus provided by this invention, the following details the steps for preparing isocyanate using the apparatus.

[0051] Please see Figure 1As shown, 10g of methyl dicarboxylate, 1g of catalyst, and 500mL of solvent are mixed and added to reactor 12. The shut-off valve 19 is closed, the switching valve 14 is opened, and N2 is introduced into reactor 12 through gas inlet pipe 13. The power of vacuum pump 17 is adjusted to achieve a first vacuum level of 50kPa-100kPa within reactor 12. N2 flows out of the preparation apparatus through gas outlet pipe 18. Next, heater 11 is started to heat reactor 12 to 220℃-260℃, and the reaction is carried out for 1-6 hours. At this time, isocyanate produced by catalytic decomposition is obtained in reactor 12, and the byproduct methanol is collected in receiving bottle 16 after cooling through condenser 15. Afterwards, open the shut-off valve 19 and close the switching valve 14. After the material in the reactor 12 cools naturally to 120℃-160℃, adjust the power of the vacuum pump 17 to make the second vacuum degree in the distillation column 20 1kPa-10kPa. The distillation column 20 purifies the isocyanate in the reactor 12. The isocyanate in the reactor 12 is evaporated into gas and enters the distillation column 20 and condenser 22. The condenser 22 condenses the gas into isocyanate liquid. The reflux ratio is controlled to be 10:1-1:1 by the reflux regulating valve 23. Part of the isocyanate liquid is refluxed back into the distillation column 20, and the other part of the isocyanate liquid is collected by the product collection tank 24.
