Abstract

Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is separated and recovered from the residues of the production thereof, e.g., from the tars of phosgenation of an aromatic diamine, by extracting such residues with an extractant which comprises an inert gas, e.g., CO.sub.2, in either the liquid or supercritical state, optionally in the presence of a coextractant diluent, for example an ester, aromatic hydrocarbon or chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon, or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon.
