Abstract

Abstract Crude cyanuric acid obtained by pyrolysis of urea is purified by extracting the impurities with an extraction acid solution. The extraction acid solution containing the impurities can then be digested to convert the impurities to cyanuric acid without any of the difficulties associated with digesting crude cyanuric acid in an acid slurry.
