Description

Urea was first discovered in urine in 1773 by a French chemist named Hilary Rolle. In 1828, the German chemist Friedrich Wöhler, during an unsuccessful attempt to prepare ammonium cyanate, obtained urea when he added ammonium chloride to silver isocyanate:

Synthetic urea is created from synthetic ammonia and carbon dioxide and is produced in solid form. Urea is also known by the brand name urea. Urea is produced naturally when breaking down protein or amino acids and ammonia. Urea plays an important role in the metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds by animals and is the main nitrogen-containing substance in the urine of mammals. This solid substance is very soluble in water and is almost non-toxic. It is also not acidic or alkaline in terms of pH. Urea is widely used as a source of nitrogen (N) in fertilizers and is an important raw material for the chemical industry.

Performance Features;

Urea or carbamide is an organic compound with the chemical formula CO(NH2)2. More than 90% of the production of urea chemical fertilizer is produced as a food source containing nitrogen for plants, and it accounts for the most nitrogen in solid fertilizers. Other uses of urea include the production of various resins such as urea-melamine-formaldehyde resin

Application

• Production of chemical fertilizers
• Production of urea-formaldehyde resins
• Water-soluble urea is used to remove NOx from the exhaust of diesel cars. This chemical substance is also used in the preparation of hand and face creams. Among the other uses of urea, we can mention animal feed, cloud dust, fire retardants, teeth whitening, etc.
