Abstract
Abstract Process for the removal of isocyanic acid from a gaseous mixture of isocyanic acid and ammonia by introducing a tertiary amine or ether at 250° to 600° C. The gaseous reaction mixture is passed into an inert diluent and cooled, to condense an adduct of isocyanic acid and tertiary amine or ether, and the ammonia being removed as a gas.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
A process for the removal of isocyanic acid from a gaseous mixture of isocyanic acid and ammonia comprising introducing a tertiary amine or an ether into a gaseous mixture of isocyanic acid and ammonia at a temperature of 250° to 600 ° C. and introducing the resulting gaseous reaction mixture into a diluent which is inert under the reaction conditions, and cooling the reaction mixture whereby an adduct of isocyanic acid and tertiary amine or ether condenses.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
A process for the removal of isocyanic acid from a gaseous mixture of isocyanic acid and ammonia comprising introducing a tertiary amine or an ether into a gaseous mixture of isocyanic acid and ammonia at a temperature of 250° to 600 ° C. and introducing the resulting gaseous reaction mixture into a diluent which is inert under the reaction conditions, and cooling the reaction mixture whereby an adduct of isocyanic acid and tertiary amine or ether condenses.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
A process according to claim 1, comprising employing a tertiary cyclic amine or an amine of the general formula NR 1 R 2 R 3 in which the radicals R 1 , R 2 and R 3 independently of one another denote straight-chain or branched alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl or arylalkyl groups.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
10 words
A process according to claim 2, comprising employing a trialkylamine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
72 words
A process according to claim 1, comprising employing a cyclic ether or an ether of the general formula R 1 --O--(R 4 --O) n --R 2 in which the radicals R 1 and R 2 independently of one another denote a straight-chain or branched alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl or arylalkyl group, R 4 denotes a straight-chain or branched alkylene, arylene, alkylarylene or arylalkylene group and n denotes an integer from 0 to 5.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
60 words
A process according to claim 4, comprising employing an ether of the formula R 1 --O--R 2 in which R 1 and R 2 are identical and denote alkyl groups, or an ether of the formula R 1 --O--R 4 --O--R 2 in which R 1 and R 2 have the abovementioned meaning and R 4 denotes an alkylene group.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A process according to one of claims 1 to 4, comprising introducing 1 to 7 moles of tertiary amine or ether per mole of isocyanic acid.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
A process according to one of claims 1 to 5, comprising carrying out the addition of the tertiary amine or the ether at a temperature of 320° to 380° C.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
A process according to one of claims 1 to 4, comprising employing an optionally halogenated aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon, an ether, a carboxamide or a mixture of the abovementioned diluents as the diluent.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
27 words
A process according to one of claims 4 or 5, comprising employing the ether which also forms the adduct of isocyanic acid and ether as the diluent.
