A two-stage process for the preparation of organic isocyanates by reacting primary amines with phosgene in which: a) in a first stage, amine and phosgene are reacted in an adiabatically managed reaction, in which the temperature of reaction is restricted to values between 100 and 220&#xb0; C. by actively adjusting the absolute pressure in the reactor to values between 8 and 50 bar by decompression, and the temperature is held at values between 100 and 220&#xb0; C. until the stoichiometric conversion of phosgene has reached at least 80%; and then b) in a second stage, the reaction mixture from a) is decompressed to an absolute pressure of 1 to 15 bar and the reaction mixture is reacted further at temperatures between 90 and 240&#xb0; C., optionally with the introduction of heat.

Process for preparing polyisocyanates by the adiabatic phosgenation of primary amines

Isocyanates are produced by reacting an organic amine with phosgene in process which includes at least three stages. The first stage is carried out in a dynamic mixer. The second stage is carried out in at least one reactor. The third stage is carried out in at least one material separating apparatus. The pressure in the reactor of the second stage must be greater than or equal to the pressure in the dynamic mixer. The pressure in the third stage material separating apparatus must be lower than the pressure in the second stage reactor.
