The contaminated urea solution is first contacted with ammonia in gaseous or liquid form and about one to ten percent of the ammonia is absorbed into the contaminated solution. The contaminated solution and absorbed ammonia are reacted in a reactor with heating for a period of time sufficient to complete the reaction of biuret and triuret to produce urea. The purified product solution may then be returned for further use in dewaxing processes. Excess ammonia and CO2 formed during the reaction process by the decomposition of urea may optionally be separated from the purified solution and from each other with the separated excess ammonia being returned to the absorber for reuse. |
