The Influence of Different Catalysts on the Environment and Urea Catalytic Efficiency

Abstract

China is one of the world's top producers of agriculture, therefore expanding the urea market is crucial to supplying the country's expanding population. Agriculture has grown more dependent on nitrogen and urea as a result of population growth and other socioeconomic factors, which has led to excessive reliance on fossil fuels like coal and oil. Finding a suitable urea catalyst is vital since the urea industry's sustainability is being threatened from all angles by excessive energy consumption and high environmental emissions. Therefore, individuals prefer to hunt for ideal catalysts to increase efficiency among a number of parameters, including catalyst, reaction temperature, and reaction duration, in order to enhance the rate of urea and decrease the cost. In order to address the issues of the industry's overall level, ecology, and production structure, people start to screen and invent the catalysts from the metal and non-metal directions in terms of their activity, stability, and cost.
