The invention provides a method for preparing
toluene diisocynate through a
phosgene method, and belongs to the technical field of
toluene diisocynate preparation. According to the method, liquid
phosgene is atomized into atomized
phosgene through a high-pressure spraying device, the atomized phosgene is in countercurrent contact with a
toluenediamine solution sprayed into a phosgenation reactor, the contact area of the atomized phosgene and the
toluenediamine solution is increased, and the phosgenation reaction process is accelerated. In addition, due to the arrangement of the liquid
homogenizer, the contact area between the atomized phosgene and the
toluenediamine solution is increased, the
reaction rate between the atomized phosgene and the toluenediamine solution is increased, and side reactions are reduced. Meanwhile, the phosgene participates in the phosgenation reaction in the form of mist droplets and is not dissolved in the
solvent, so that the use of the
solvent is greatly reduced, the concentration of the phosgene in the phosgenation reactor is improved, and side reactions are reduced. The liquid phosgene is subjected to high-pressure spraying treatment, so that the use of a
solvent is saved, and subsequent solvent separation is facilitated. After the
decomposition reaction is finished,
hydrogen chloride gas and unreacted phosgene are separated in a freezing mode, phosgene
recovery is achieved, and the
recovery mode is simple.
