Abstract

Process for the preparation of urea, in which the gas stream which is released during the synthesis of melamine and is composed essentially of ammonia and carbon dioxide is used to synthesize urea, in which process the gas stream which originates from a high-pressure melamine process and is composed essentially of ammonia and carbon dioxide is condensed at a pressure virtually equal to the pressure in the melamine reactor, in which process substantially anhydrous ammonium carbamate is formed, after which said ammonium carbamate is fed to a high-pressure section of a urea stripping plant.
