The relationship between aqueous urea solution, its thermal decomposition products and the corrosion mechanism of stainless steel is studied by FTIR spectroscopy, SEM and stereo microscopy. The corroded steel samples, together with deposits, were obtained from the injection of aqueous urea solution on the steel plate at high temperatures. Uniform corrosion underneath the deposits was proposed as the main driver for corrosion of the steel samples. At the crevices, corrosion due to the used geometry and due to high temperature cycling could play an acceleration role as well.

Academic Editor: Geoffrey D. Will Research work on corrosion involving urea mainly belongs to urea production, the fertilizer industry, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology [2,4]. For example, Received: 27 July 2021 during the manufacturing of urea under high pressure, the most critical intermediate Accepted: 26 August 2021 Published: 30 August 2021 step leading to corrosion is the formation of ammonium carbonate by-product [2,5]. In the fertilizer industry, urea is used as a source of nitrogen in the products, causing some Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral corrosion problems [2,6]. In SCR technology, urea is used as a source of ammonia to reduce with regard to jurisdictional claims in the amount of NOx exhaust gases in automotive systems.

Addition- ally, the effect of acidic condensate with chlorides and active carbon at low temperatures was mentioned [2,10,11]. Besides this, there are studies on melamine, ammonia, nitrogen and g-C3N4 (all of them exist during urea decomposition process) reactions with metal oxides, which attract attention as nitrifying and carburization reagents [12–14].

  • NMR Analysis to Identify Biuret Groups in Common Polyureas
    Chinese Journal of POLYMER SCIENCE ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1007/s10118-018-2130-y Chinese J. Polym. Sci. 2018, 36, 1150–1156 NMR Analysis to Identify Biuret Groups in Common Polyureas Wei-Guang Qiu, Fei-Long Zhang, Xu-Bao Jiang*, and Xiang-Zheng Kong* College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, University of Jinan, Jinan 250022, China Abstract Polyureas (PU) are well known as a class of high impact engineering materials, and widely used also in emerging advanced applications. As a general observation, most of them are only soluble in a very limited number of highly protonic solvents, which makes their chemical structure analysis a great challenge. Besides the presence of abundant hydrogen bonding, the poor solubility of PU in common organic solvents is often ascribed to the formation of biuret crosslinking in their molecular chains. To clarify the presence of biuret groups in PU has been of great interest. To this end, two samples, based on hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI) respectively, were synthesized by precipitation polymerization of each of these diisocyanates in water-acetone at 30 °C. Their chemical structures were analyzed by high resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) NMR, and through comparison of their NMR spectra with those of specially prepared biuret-containing polyurea oligomers, it was concluded that biuret group was absent in all the PU prepared at 30 °C. In addition, this NMR analysis was also applied to a PU obtained by copolymerization of TDI with ethylene diamine (EDA) and water at 65 °C in EDA aqueous solution. It was confirmed that biuret unit was also absent in this PU and that EDA was more active than water towards TDI.
