METHOD FOR PREPARING MELAMINE

摘要

Method for preparing melamine from urea via a high-pressure process in which solid melamine is obtained by transferring the melamine melt coming from the reactor to a vessel where the melamine melt is cooled with an evaporating cooling medium. The melamine melt comes from the melamine reactor at a temperature between the melting point of melamine and 450 DEG C and is sprayed into a cooling vessel, via spraying means, having an ammonia environment with an increased ammonia pressure and cooled by means of an evaporating cooling medium to form melamine powder. The melamine melt is thereby converted into melamine powder having a temperature of 270 DEG C or below after which the ammonia pressure is released and the melamine powder is cooled, at least for part of the cooling range, by the powder being set in motion mechanically and being cooled directly or indirectly and, if necessary, the melamine powder is cooled further.
