Abstract: Ethanol is prepared from a saccharide such as glucose by a fermentation process. The efficiency of the fermentation is improved by feeding a residual fermented liquid obtained from an evaporator used to vaporize ethanol to a reverse osmosis unit, and then subjecting the residual liquid to reverse osmosis to remove water therefrom. This residual liquid is then recycled to the original fermenter, or to a second fermenter having a smaller volume than the first fermenter.

Abstract: An improved process for the preparation of urea from carbon dioxide and excess ammonia at an elevated temperature and pressure to form a urea synthesis solution containing uncoverted ammonium carbamate and free ammonia. A portion of the ammonium carbamate contained in the urea synthesis solution is decomposed in a first decomposition zone by the supply of heat, and the first gas mixture thus obtained is separated and at least partially condensed in a first condensation zone. The residual area solution is heated in a second decomposition zone maintained at a pressure of between about 4 and 40 bar thereby decomposing a further portion of ammonium carbamate and the second gas mixture thus obtained is separated from the second residual urea containing stream. This second residual area stream is introduced into a further decomposition zone wherein remaining ammonium carbamate is substantially removed, and a third gas mixture thereby formed is processed to form a dilute aqueous ammonium carbamate solution.
