Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for operating a plant for continuous production of an isocyanate by converting a primary amine A with phosgene P whilst maintaining, based on the amino groups of the primary amine, a stoichiometric excess of phosgene in the presence of a solvent L in the liquid phase, using a first, adiabatically operated reaction chamber and a second, isothermally operated reaction chamber. The method is characterised in that a combination of measures, in particular the maintenance of a sufficiently high starting pressure and a sufficiently high starting temperature, is applied in order to bring the plant back into the target state, standard operation, starting from a state of interruption to production.
