A process for the production of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide, combined with the preparation of ammonia, is disclosed wherein ammonium carbamate in the urea solution produced is removed from said urea solution by subjecting the urea solution to two stripping stages. The first stripping stage uses the urea synthesis starting gas, which contains hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The second stripping stage, which is at substantially the same pressure as the first stripping stage, uses a gas containing at least one of the components needed in the ammonia synthesis. This second stripping gas is substantially free of ammonia and carbon dioxide. The disclosed process has the advantage, compared to prior processes, that the stripping gases need not be compressed at relatively high temperatures. |
