The invention belongs to a method for preparing
melamine cyanurate by taking
alkali metal salt as a catalyst. The method comprises the following steps: premixing raw materials; sequentially adding deionized water and
melamine into the four-neck flask, and heating the
system to 55 DEG C on the basis of sufficient stirring; step 2, adding
cyanuric acid and an
alkali metal salt catalyst into the
system heated to 55 DEG C; step 3, heating the materials to 90 to 100 DEG C; continuously stirring for 1.5-3 hours to ensure that the reaction is uniform; step 4, cooling a product after the reaction to
room temperature, separating out a
solid-phase product through
filtration, and washing with deionized water to remove unreacted raw materials and the catalyst, so as to obtain a washed product; step 5,
drying and crushing the washed product to obtain
melamine cyanurate with the purity not lower than 99%; the method has the characteristics that the
reaction temperature and reaction time are reduced, side reactions are reduced, the yield is improved, and the product is high in purity and small and uniform in particle size.
