Phosgene synthesis reactor geometry: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Uncontrolled exothermic reactions during phosgene synthesis risk thermal runaway and hazardous byproduct formation. These innovations stabilize the carbon monoxide and chlorine reaction through precise catalytic bed management.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Phosgene synthesis reactor geometry?

Uncontrolled reaction heat accumulation

(5)evidences

Highly exothermic phosgene synthesis causes thermal runaway or catalyst damage if heat removal is insufficient. Effective thermal management prevents byproduct formation and equipment failure.

Product stream separation inefficiency

(3)evidences

Highly exothermic synthesis leads to catalyst degradation and runaway risks. Controlling thermal gradients prevents byproduct formation and equipment failure.
