The invention discloses a phosgenation reactor and a method for preparing isocyanate monomer by using the reactor. The reactor comprises an inner feeding pipe, an outer feeding pipe, a mechanical stirring shaft, a rotating area and a kettle body, and the rotating area Including the support structure, the packing block in the rotating area, the upper discharge device, and the lower discharge device; among them, the inner feed pipe and the outer feed pipe are arranged coaxially from the inside to the outside, and the upper and lower discharge devices are arranged in parallel and pass through the support structure connected with each other, and communicated with the outer and inner feed pipes respectively, the filling block in the rotating area is filled between the upper and lower dischargers, the upper discharger is connected with the mechanical stirring shaft, and the kettle body is provided with a gas phase outlet, a liquid Phase outlet, gas phase inlet, liquid phase inlet. Through the pretreatment of the hydrochloride solution in the reactor, the salt concentration and the quality of the hydrochloride solution are improved, and at the same time, the rapid removal of hydrogen chloride gas during the phosgenation process is achieved, effectively reducing the generation of chlorinated by-products , to reduce the difficulty of product separation.
