Abstract

A process for the preparation of pure melamine, in which liquid, ammonia-containing melamine is rapidly depressurized from an ammonia partial pressure p.sub.1 between 400 and 50 bar to an ammonia partial pressure p.sub.2 between 200 bar and atmospheric pressure, where p.sub.1 is always greater than p.sub.2, at a temperature which is 0 to 60.degree. C. higher than the melamine solidification point dependent oil the particular prevailing ammonia partial pressure, higher pressures permitting a greater temperature interval from the melamine solidification point than lower pressures, by which means pure melamine separates out in solid form, whereupon, in any sequence, the product is further depressurized if appropriate to atmospheric pressure, cooled to room temperature and the pure melamine is isolated.
