Carbonation

– Urea Production:
– Carbonation of ammonia is a step in urea production.
– Worldwide production capacity in 2020 was about 180 million tonnes.
– Urea is a nitrogen source for plants.
– Urea production plants are usually near ammonia manufacturing sites.
– Ammonium carbamate decomposes into urea in the conversion process.

– Solubility:
– Henry’s law relates CO2 gas pressure to its solubility.
– Henry’s law constant (K) increases with temperature.
– Carbonation increases as temperature decreases.
– Decreased CO2 pressure or increased mole fraction in solution enhances carbonation.

– References:
– Impregnation or treatment with CO2 converts into a carbonate.
