PROCESS FOR ENHANCED UREA PRODUCTION

摘要

A process for the production of urea comprises the steps of reacting carbon dioxide and ammonia to form ammonium carbamate and subsequent decomposition of ammonium carbamate to form a reaction mixture comprising urea and water, wherein the reaction mixture is contacted with one side of a semi-permeable membrane, and a drying fluid capable of removing water and possibly other reaction product(s) from the reaction mixture is contacted with the other side of the semi-permeable membrane.
