UREA-46

Descripción del producto

Also known as carbamide, is an organic compound of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen, with the formula CON2H4 or (NH2)2CO. Urea is produced commercially from two raw materials, ammonia and carbon dioxide. Large quantities of carbon dioxide are produced during the manufacture of ammonia from coal or from hydrocarbons such as natural gas and petroleum derived raw materials. This allows direct synthesis of urea from this raw material. Urea has a number of advantages over other nitrogen fertilizers. Urea is safer to ship and handle, it is less corrosive to equipment, it has a higher analysis than any other dry nitrogen fertilizer and it can be used on virtually all crops. Urea can be stored and distributed through conventional systems. It can be applied in many different ways from sophisticated aerial application equipment to a farm spreading urea by hand. Urea is also highly water soluble so it moves readily into the soil. The high analysis means a reduced transportation and application cost per kilogram of nitrogen.

Urea is a white dry organic compound and a crystalline substance and has minimum of *6% Nitrogen calculated in dry state. This has the melting point of **2 deg F.

Urea is made by reacting carbon dioxide (CO2) with anhydrous ammonia (NH3) under pressure of ***0 psi and temperatures of around **0 deg F. Water is removed during processing and the molten matter is either converted to prills or into granules.

It is generally supplied in prills or crystals/grains. Although the color of urea is white but the crystals are larger than prills.
