FIELD: chemical technology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to producing urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide. Method involves preparing products of reaction in the synthesis zone as a solution containing urea, ammonium carbamate and unreacted ammonia. Part of solution obtained in synthesis of urea (preferably 10-60 wt.-%) is fed from the synthesis zone to additionally assembled zone of treatment under mean pressure at 1-4 MPa wherein gas flow is separated and subjected for absorption with ammonium carbamate solution of low pressure supplying from the section for isolation and treatment of urea. As a variant of method the invention proposes to use the combined reactor in the synthesis zone representing vertically installed or combined reactor. Enhancement of output of existing processes in synthesis of urea is achieved by feeding part of urea solution synthesized in the synthesis reactor to additionally installed zone for treatment of mean pressure including the dissociation zone, desorption zone of mean pressure and the condensation zone of mean pressure. Invention provides enhancement of output of unit for producing urea being without modification of section of high pressure.
EFFECT: improved method for producing urea.
