ABSTRACT:
An improved process for the separate recovery of substantially pure ammonia and substantially pure carbon dioxide from mixtures containing ammonia and carbon dioxide, and possibly water, such as are obtained as by-products in the manufacture of melamine from urea or the synthesis of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide. The by-product mixture is introduced into a process loop having an ammonia separation zone, a carbon dioxide separation zone and a desorption zone, the zone to which the mixture is initially fed being dependent upon its composition. An ammonia off-gas, substantially free of carbon dioxide and water, is obtained from the ammonia separation zone, and the residual liquid phase is introduced into the carbon dioxide separation zone. Diluting water is also added to the carbon dioxide separation zone in an amount of from about 0.2 to 6 times, by weight, the combined total weight of the residual liquid phase from the ammonia separation zone and the by-product mixture, if any, fed into the carbon dioxide separation zone. A carbon dioxide off-gas, substantially free of ammonia and water, is obtained from the carbon dioxide separation zone and the residual liquid phase therefrom is introduced into the desorption zone wherein substantially all of the ammonia and carbon dioxide are desorbed and separated from the liquid phase and introduced into the ammonia separation zone.
