| 1. A process for the preparation of isocyanate by the reaction of an organic amine with phosgene in at least three stages
comprising:
a) a first stage conducted in a dynamic mixer,
b) a second stage conducted in at least one reactor, and
c) a third stage conducted in at least one material separating apparatus
in which (1) the second stage reactor pressure is greater than the first stage dynamic mixer pressure, and (2) the third stage
material separating apparatus pressure is lower than the pressure in the reactor of the second stage.
