The resource endowment structure of being coalrich and oilpoor makes China's production of coalbased ammonia and urea, with a low production cost and a good market, a competitive advantage. However, the process suffers from high CO2 emissions and low energy efficiency and carbon utilization efficiency due to the mismatch of hydrogentocarbon ratio between raw coal and chemicals.
For urea production, Shi et al. concluded that coal combustion for steam generation in urea synthesis process is the principal contributor to GWI. Kumar et al. found that syngas production via coal gasificationwater gas shiftcarbon capture process was main contributor in GWI of urea.

1. Introduction. Urea (NH 2 CONH 2) was firstly artificially synthesized using two inorganic molecules as feedstocks from Friedrich Wöhler in 1828 [1].A breakthrough is through pyrolyzing ammonium carbamide to urea in 40 years latter [2].Subsequently, industrial urea production (BoschMeiser process) was first developed in 1922 [3].This pathway involves two steps: (i) liquid ammonia (NH 3 ...

The effort to advance ammonia plants is classified into six main categories in this paper: (1) reducing ammoniaproductionrelated energy consumption through renewable and sustainable approaches; (2) technoeconomics of ammonia production; (3) proposing alternative approaches to
The coal to urea process. The process by which urea is produced from coal is outlined in Figure 1: Coal is pulverised and dried, to enhance its conversion efficiency. The air separation unit (ASU) separates air into oxygen and nitrogen. The pulverised coal and oxygen from the ASU are converted in a catalytic reaction in the gasifier into ...
Currently, the global ammonia production is obtained mostly through the HaberBosch process (Makhlouf et al., 2015) and depends on fossil fuels as a major source (Kool et al., 2012). Approximately 72% of ammonia worldwide is generated using natural gas as feedstock through steam methane reforming followed by coal at 22% through gasification ...
This study proposed a new process for the production of ammonia and urea by coal direct chemical looping hydrogen production process (CDCLTU). The coal direct chemical looping hydrogen production replaces the air separation unit and water gas conversion unit of the traditional coaltourea process (CTU), which effectively separates and captures ...
Coalbased power plants are largest emitter of CO2 as a single sector. To use fossil fuels (including coal), CO2 capture and storage is a visible option. But large energy requirement for this process and risk associated with storage of CO2 demand alternative solutions including recycling of captured CO2. In this paper, a coproduction of power and urea is proposed using coal with captured CO2.
In the process, ammonia and carbon dioxide are fed to the synthesis reactor which operates around 180210 C and 150 bar pressure. The reaction mixture containing ammonia, ammonium carbamate and urea is first stripped of the ammonia and the resultant solution passes through a number of decomposers operating at progressively reduced pressures.
Although the plant does not gasify coal, the process would be essentially the same for a coal feedstock, illustrating the potential for coal use in the United States to produce ammonia and ammoniaderived fertilizers. ...
