FIELD: chemical technology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to technology for preparing urea. Method involves interaction of pure ammonia and carbon dioxide in reaction space to obtain reaction mixture containing urea, carbamate and free ammonia in an aqueous solution that is treated in evaporator (1) to obtain partially purified mixture that is fed to section for isolation of urea. Diluted solution of carbamate removing from the urea isolating section is subjected for treatment in evaporator (2) and at least part of vapors formed in it is recovered to the reaction space and/or into evaporator (1). Significant part of carbamate in aqueous solution is subjected for decomposition under pressure that corresponds essentially to pressure value in reaction space. Part of decomposition products including ammonia and carbon dioxide in vapor phase is recovered into reactor and/or into the first evaporator (1) and carbamate after its partial decomposing is fed into section for isolating urea. Device for preparing urea consists of the synthesis reactor, evaporators (1) and (2) for partial decomposition of carbamate and for separation of free ammonia and carbon dioxide in vapor phase, apparatus for condensation of vapor flow, pipe-line for recover of carbamate part in aqueous solution into reactor and section for isolation of urea from its aqueous solution. Preferably, pipe-line is fitted with ejector and evaporators are fitted with apparatus for feeding carbon dioxide as a evaporating agent. Invention provides enhancing yield of urea, reducing energy consumptions and investment due to updating the technological schedule of the process.
EFFECT: improved preparing and updating methods.
