Abstract
A process for the synthesis of melamine from urea, preferably of the high-pressure type, wherein offgas quenching is performed in a quenching vessel wherein in the upper part of the vessel, a rising flow of offgas is contacted in counter-current with liquid ammonia to obtain precipitation of melamine contained in the offgas and melamine-free anhydrous washed offgas; in the lower part of the vessel, the solid melamine is contacted with a liquid solvent to form a solution of melamine or a melamine slurry.
