Procedure
Cyanuric acid can be produced by heating urea or biuret in a solvent medium. During the process, particles of cyanuric acid are formed as a slurry in the hot solvent. Previous processes have employed operations to cool the reaction slurry and to separate the cyanuric acid from the slurry in which cyanuric acid was deposited on the cooling surfaces and the resulting product was discolored.
