Abstract
The specification describes a process for synthesizing urea. The process comprises reacting ammonia and carbon dioxide in a molar ratio of 3:1-5:1 and at a pressure of 150-250 Kg/cm.sup.2 G, subjecting the resultant reaction mixture to a stripping step using gaseous carbon dioxide at a pressure substantially equal to the urea synthesis pressure and a temperature of 195.degree.-210.degree. C. to remove unreacted ammonia and unreacted carbon dioxide contained in the reaction mixture so that the content of unreacted ammonia is lowered to 10-15% by weight. This invention ensures a high conversion ratio from carbon dioxide to urea, considerably little formation of biuret during the stripping step, and reduced consumption of high pressure steam.
