A process for manufacturing isocyanates or polycarbonates comprising the steps of: providing a chlorine stream and carbon monoxide stream; reacting said chlorine stream and said carbon monoxide stream for providing a phosgene stream; cooling the phosgene stream to a temperature at which the phosgene in the phosgene stream is liquid, preferably, to a temperature that is 4 C. less or more than 4 C. less than the boiling point of phosgene, to form a liquid phosgene stream and a gas stream; separating the gas stream and the liquid phosgene stream; removing residual chlorine from the liquid phosgene stream to form a chlorine depleted phosgene stream and reacting the chlorine depleted phosgene stream to form an isocyanate or a polycarbonate.

A method for producing trans-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane includes a trans-isomerization step in which cis-dicyanocyclohexane is isomerized into trans-dicyanocyclohexane by heating dicyanocyclohexane containing cis-dicyanocyclohexane in the presence of a tar component produced by distillation of dicyanocyclohexane; and an aminomethylation step in which trans-dicyanocyclohexane produced by the trans-isomerization step is allowed to contact with hydrogen to produce trans-bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane.
