A problem has been identified which made it difficult, if not impossible, for the prior art to operate a reboiler in the mist flow regime. The invention which overcomes this problem is to provide a chamber to establish equilibrium between the vapor portion and the liquid portion of the reboiler effluent prior to introducing equilibrated vapor into the bottom of the distillation column. The invention is particularly useful for minimizing degradation of thermally sensitive materials.

Method for controlling a reboiler

Cyanuric acid is mechanically separated such as by filtration, centrifugation, or centrifugal filtration from a slurry of cyanuric acid, urea, biuret, and an inert solvent in which the urea is soluble at temperatures above about 170.degree. C. to reduce the urea content of the recovered solid cyanuric acid. The biuret and solvent content of the solid cyanuric acid is also reduced.
