Urea is produced from ammonia and carbon dioxide at high pressure and temperature. Both feedstocks come from an ammonia synthesis plant. The carbon dioxide is a by-product stream vented from the CO2 removal section of that plant. Both feeds are delivered to the high-pressure urea synthesis section.
Urea, also known as carbamide or carbonic diamide, is an organic compound with the chemical formula CO(NH2)2. At room temperature, it is a colorless, odorless and tasteless solid. Pure urea crystallizes as long, thin, white needles, although rhomboid prisms are also observed.
Acrylamide, also known as prop-2-enamide or acrylic acid amide, is a simple unsaturated amide with the molecular formula C3H5NO. It is a white, odorless crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents but insoluble in nonpolar solvents.
Sinopec, formally known as China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation, is a vertically integrated energy and chemical powerhouse headquartered in Beijing. As a majority state-owned enterprise, it serves as a critical pillar of China’s national energy security while simultaneously operating as the world’s largest oil refining group by capacity.
BASF SE (Badische Anilin- und Sodafabrik) is a German multinational chemical company and the largest chemical producer globally by revenue. Founded in 1865, the company operates across six integrated business segments, serving customers in nearly all sectors worldwide. Its core strategy centers on its unique Verbund (integrated production) system, which aims for cost efficiencies and environmental advantages through interconnected production sites.
Calcium cyanamide, also known as lime nitrogen or nitrolime, is an inorganic compound with the formula CaCN2. It is a neutral salt of cyanamide that was first produced industrially in the late 19th century as a result of nitrogen fixation technology.
1-Propanol, also called n-propyl alcohol or propan-1-ol, is a primary alcohol with the chemical formula CH3CH2CH2OH. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic alcoholic odor and is miscible with water, ethanol, and ether.
Cumene, also known as isopropylbenzene or 2-phenylpropane, is an aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C9H12. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic gasoline-like odor.
Acetyl chloride, also known as ethanoyl chloride, is an organic compound with the molecular formula CH3COCl. It is a colorless corrosive and strongly irritating liquid with a suffocating odor.
Acetamide, also known as ethanamide or acetic acid amide, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C2H5NO. It is a white, odorless, hygroscopic solid formed from acetic acid and ammonia. Acetamide has been naturally found in the roots of sugar beets and in coal mine waste dumps as a minor by-product of organic material degradation.
Isopropyl alcohol, also known as isopropanol or 2-propanol, is the simplest secondary alcohol with the chemical formula C3H7OH. It is a colorless, volatile, and flammable liquid that has a a slightly bitter taste and a faint odor similar to a mixture of ethanol and acetone.
Titanium dioxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula TiO2. It’s a white solid that is insoluble in water. Titanium dioxide is found naturally as rutile, anatase, and brookite polymorphs.
