Abstract

The invention relates to a process for removing water traces from a liquid phosgene stream in chemical processes which employ a phosgenation step. Water traces are removed from a liquid phosgene stream containing at least 60 weight percent phosgene by contacting the stream with a strongly basic macroreticular anion exchange resin which catalyzes the reaction between phosgene and the water traces.
