Urea Process Analytical Study
Abstract
In an effort to help determine the feasibility of the Urea process for production of the amine fuels, AFRPL established an in-house program to develop a useful analytical technique for monitoring the critical DMU to UDMH reaction. It was the absence of such a technique that presented problems for Vicksburg Chemical Company during their production contract with AFLC. Using laboratory scale equipment, AFRPL produced UDMH using purified DMU. Analysis of both reaction mixture and distillate was accomplished during all of the synthesis runs. After a variety of attempts, it was concluded that analysis of the DMU to UDMH reaction is difficult and propably not useful. Thus, great care must be taken in the scale up of the Urea process.
