Urea Per Se Or Salt Thereof Patents (Class 564/63)
  • Patent number: 4310343
    Abstract: A new improved process for making liquid fertilizer having a high nitrogen and sulfur content has been developed in which urea and sulfuric acid are mixed. Exothermic heat, which normally builds up in successive reactions is dissipated via use of a non-reactive, nutritive heat sink, preferably comprising a predetermined amount of previously produced fertilizer.

  • Patent number: 4277416
    Abstract: A system for processing coal to produce methanol, alcohol-slurry coal for transport, electric power and urea. Raw coal is graded. The downgraded fraction is gasified, producing steam and synthesis gas. The synthesis gas is converted to methanol which is then used to slurry upgraded coal for transport or to produce electric power. The steam output of the gasifier drives an oxygen generator to produce oxygen for the gasifier, when the synthesis gas is used to produce methanol, and also drives an electric power turbine. Natural gas may be used to maximize methanol production. Urea is a by-product.
