The manufacturing method of polymerized MDI (diphenylmethane diisocyanate) is an important raw material for chemical production, widely used in the fields of polyurethane, coatings, adhesives, etc. Exploring manufacturing methods for aggregating MDI is of great significance in order to meet the growing market demand, improve production efficiency, and reduce costs. This article will introduce a manufacturing method for aggregated MDI, including steps such as phosgenation and reduction

2、 Manufacturing method 

1 Phosgenation is a method of reacting aniline with phosgene in the presence of a catalyst to produce diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI). The specific steps are as follows: 

(1) Mix aniline with the catalyst, heat to a certain temperature, introduce phosgene, control the reaction temperature and time, and generate MDI crude product

(2) Distillation, crystallization, and other purification operations are performed on the crude MDI product to obtain a higher purity MDI product

The phosgenation method has advantages such as easy availability of raw materials and mild reaction conditions, but it produces a lot of by-products and requires subsequent treatment

2. Reduction method 

Reduction method is a method of reacting aniline with formaldehyde under acidic conditions to produce diphenylmethane diamine (MDA), which is then reacted with phosgene to obtain MDI. The specific steps are as follows: 

(1) Conduct a condensation reaction between aniline and formaldehyde in the presence of an acidic catalyst to generate MDA

(2) React MDA with phosgene in the presence of a catalyst to produce crude MDI

(3) Purify the crude MDI product to obtain a higher purity MDI product

The condensation method has advantages such as easy availability of raw materials and relatively few reaction steps, but the reaction conditions are more stringent, requiring control of factors such as reaction temperature and acidity

3、 To improve the production efficiency and product quality of MDI polymerization, manufacturing process optimization can be carried out. Specific measures include: 

1 Select efficient catalysts to improve reaction rate and selectivity

2. Adopting automated control technology to accurately control reaction temperature and time, reducing the generation of by-products

3. Strengthen equipment maintenance and upkeep, ensure normal operation of equipment, and improve production efficiency

4、 The production process of MDI polymerization involves some harmful substances such as phosgene, formaldehyde, etc. Therefore, corresponding safety and environmental measures need to be taken to ensure the safety and sustainability of the production process. Specific measures include: 

1 Strictly control the quality and dosage of raw materials to avoid safety issues caused by excessive or insufficient supply

2. Strengthen ventilation and dust removal at the production site to reduce the concentration of harmful gases and dust

3. Treat and recycle waste water, exhaust gas, and other waste materials to avoid environmental pollution

5、 Conclusion: The manufacturing methods of aggregated MDI include steps such as phosgenation and condensation. By optimizing the manufacturing process and implementing safety and environmental protection measures, production efficiency and product quality can be improved, ensuring the safety and sustainability of the production process.
