Hello Friends

I am doing praposal of NH3 and Urea , in that client is asking material SS for wet carbon dioxcide? can anybody write why client emphasis SS? why not CS

Because cs will corrode easily by Wet carbon di oxide and and its composite materials will oxidation with cs. So only We will use the SS material. SS material has high teperature high corrosiveness.

CO2 dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, H2CO3. If you use CS, it will corrode very rapidly as a result. Using SS would make it far more corrosion resistant.

Which direction (composition or decomposition of urea) is your analysis?

In a dry decomposition analysis, it should not make a difference.

In a wet environment which includes the composition reaction below, the CO2 will react with water (CO2 + H2O <-> H+ + HCO-1).

CO2(s) + 2NH3(g) -> Urea ((NH2)2CO)+ H2O

Carbon dioxide is an acid anhydride that forms a more (than water alone) corrosive solution (weak acid) in an aqueous environment. SS is less likely to corrode in this residual acidic environment.
