Synthesis Method    
Diethylene oxamide can be synthesized in a variety of ways. 
The most common method is by the reaction of anhydrous ammonia with carbon dioxide, which produces oxamide and ammonium carbonate. 
This reaction is catalyzed by an acid, such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid. 
Other methods of synthesis include the reaction of oxalic acid with ammonia or the reaction of urea with carbon dioxide.

Preparation    
A method for continuously producing oxamide, the steps are as follows: gasification of liquid ammonia, and the temperature of the gasified ammonia gas is heated to about 130 ℃ after passing through the superheater; The nitrogen gas with purity of 99.9% mol is passed into the heat exchange tube at the bottom of the dimethyl oxalate evaporator and flows upward along the heat exchange tube tube; pump the liquid dimethyl oxalate into the liquid distributor on the top of the dimethyl oxalate evaporator and enter the tube side of the heat exchange tube; the molar ratio of ammonia to dimethyl oxalate is 2.05, and the molar ratio of nitrogen to dimethyl oxalate is 5. 

The liquid Diethylene oxamide forms a liquid film on the inner wall of the heat exchange tube, and the liquid film is downward along the tube wall under the action of gravity; the heat exchange tube is introduced into the heating medium 1.0MPaG low-pressure saturated steam; the liquid Diethylene oxamide is, since the presence of upward flowing nitrogen in the pipeline reduces the partial pressure of dimethyl oxalate, Diethylene oxamide can be gasified at a lower temperature, controlling the evaporation pressure of Diethylene oxamide to be about 0.1MPaG and the evaporation temperature to be about 130 ℃; The gasified dimethyl oxalate and nitrogen enter the oxalamide synthesis reactor together, and the reaction pressure of the Diethylene oxamide synthesis reactor is controlled to be about 0.1MPaG, the reaction temperature is about 130 ℃, and the reaction time is 30min; the solid phase oxalamide was separated and packaged for storage. 

After analysis, the purity of oxalamide was about 98.5%. 
The gas phase after separating oxamide is cooled to about 40 ℃ and then enters the gas-liquid separator. 
The liquid phase separated by the gas-liquid separator is mainly methanol and contains about 300ppm ammonia. 
In order to make the by-product methanol meet the GB338-2011 "Industrial Methanol" qualified product standard, the methanol separated by the gas-liquid separator enters the methanol rectification tower for further separation, and the ammonia content in the separated methanol reaches below 15ppm. 

The separated liquid ammonia enters the vaporizer for gasification and then participates in the reaction again. 
The gas phase separated from the gas-liquid separator is mainly nitrogen, which contains about 0.6% wt of ammonia and 800ppm of methanol. 
The mixed gas is compressed to 0.1MPaG by the gas compressor and then enters the heat exchanger tube at the bottom of the dimethyl oxalate evaporator to participate in the evaporation of Diethylene oxamide.
