Abstract
A high-pressure, non-catalytic process for producing melamine from urea wherein the melamine is recovered directly as a dry powder without washing or recrystallization is described. In the process, liquid melamine is fed to a cooling unit where it is quenched with a liquid medium, preferably liquid ammonia. By increasing the pressure within the cooling unit to a pressure in excess of 600 psi and preferably to 1200 to 1400 psi provides melamine having a purity in excess of 99%.
