METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUS PRODUCTION OF VARIOUS MIXTURES OF DIISOCYANATE ISOMERS OF DIPHENYLMETHANE SERIES Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C07C263/20 C07C265/14 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method for simultaneous and continuous production of two different mixtures of predominantly 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and 2,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate. The method includes a step of separating a mixed diphenylmethane diisocyanate isomer feed stream [MIx] by a single-step suspension melt crystallisation process into two mixed isomer diphenylmethane diisocyanate streams [Miy and Miz] wherein x ranges from 60 to 80, y ranges from 80 to 95 and z ranges from 48 to 54, where x, y and z are percentages by weight of the 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate isomer contained in the diphenylmethane diisocyanate mixture. Temperature of the suspension exiting the crystallisation section is kept on a level from about 18°C to 20°C.

EFFECT: method enables to obtain streams of diisocyanates of the diphenylmethane series of a defined composition.
