Process for the production of di- and poly( diamino diphenyl methane) comprising the steps of
(a) reacting aniline and formaldehyde in the presence of an acid catalyst to produce a reaction mixture containing di- and polyamines;
(b) neutralising the reaction mixture containing di- and polyamines;
(c) separating the neutralised reaction mixture into an organic phase containing di- and polyamines and an aqueous phase;
(d) further treating the organic phase separated off in step (c) by (d1) washing with water followed by (d2) separating the washed mixture into an organic phase and an aqueous phase and (d3) further fractionation of the organic phase to produce purified di- and polyamines on the one hand and aniline/water on the other hand;
(e) further treating the aqueous phase separated off in step (c) by (e1) washing with aniline followed by (e2) separating the washed mixture into an aqueous phase and an organic phase and (e3) further treatment of the aqueous phase to remove the aniline thereby leaving an effluent stream wherein phase separation in step (c) and/or step (e2) is facilitated by using any of the following methods either on its own or in combination with one or more of the other methods:
(A) removal of some of the water from the neutralised reaction mixture obtained in step (b) or the aqueous phase separated in step (c);
(B) addition of inorganic salt to the neutralised reaction mixture obtained in step (b);
(C) return of some of the aqueous phase obtained in step (e2) or (e3) to the neutralised reaction mixture obtained in step (b) or to the washed mixture in step (e1).

(e) 进一步处理步骤(c)中分离出的水相,(e1)用苯胺洗涤,(e2)将洗涤后的混合物分离成水相和有机相,(e3)进一步处理水相以除去苯胺,从而留下流出液,其中步骤(c)和/或步骤(e2)中的相分离可通过单独使用或与一种或多种其他方法结合使用以下任一方法来实现:
(A) 从步骤(b)得到的中和反应混合物或步骤(c)分离的水相中去除部分水;
(B) 向步骤(b)中得到的中和反应混合物中添加无机盐;
(C) 将步骤(e2)或(e3)中得到的部分水相返回步骤(b)中得到的中和反应混合物或步骤(e1)中得到的洗涤混合物。
