To provide a production method of an isocyanate, in which chlorine is formed from hydrogen chloride produced at a phosgenation step and is recycled.
The isocyanate is produced by (a) reacting chlorine with carbon monoxide to produce phosgene; (b) reacting the phosgene with an organic amine to form an isocyanate and hydrogen chloride; (c) separating the isocyanate and the hydrogen chloride; (d) arbitrarily purifying the hydrogen chloride; (e) preparing an aqueous hydrogen chloride solution; (f) arbitrarily purifying the aqueous hydrogen chloride solution; (g) subjecting the aqueous hydrogen chloride solution to an electrochemical oxidation treatment to form chlorine; and (h) returning at least a part of the chlorine produced in (g) to (a). In the production method, energy can be saved by suppressing the complicated circulation of a solvent and phosgene to the minimum.
