Sulphur fertilizers – the processes, the products
Mark Brouwer of UreaKnowHow.com reviews the main production options for incorporating sulphur into urea
Problem No. 74: Is green urea really green?
Green urea is urea based on green ammonia produced from renewable power via electrolysers and bio-based carbon dioxide and its colour is the same as normal urea. But in this round table discussion we discuss the possible causes for urea turning a green colour as found by the initiator of this discussion. We will learn that the colour of urea can be reddish or brownish in certain conditions where corrosion rates are high and/or oil fouling is high. But what can cause urea to turn green? n
