1 Ammonia Volatilization from Urea, Mechanisms, Magnitude, and Management David E. Kissel University of Georgia
2 Overview Urea Consumption Definitions UAN Solution Reactions Urea Dissolution and Diffusion Urea Hydrolysis Ammonia Volatilization Research Results Summary
3 World Evolution of N Fertilizer Consumption Urea 51% Ammonium nitrate Nitrogen solutions 1973 / / 05 Ammonium phosphate Total compound N Millions of tonnes
4 USA Evolution of N Fertilizer Consumption Urea 21% Ammonium nitrate Nitrogen solutions 1973 / / 05 Anhydrous ammonia Total compound N Millions of tonnes
5 Overview Urea Consumption Definitions UAN Solution Reactions Urea Dissolution and Diffusion Urea Hydrolysis Ammonia Volatilization Research Results Summary
6 Definitions Dissolution: urea absorbs water and converts from solid to liquid Hydrolysis: urea converts to ammonium (NH 4 ) Diffusion: movement due to motion of molecules Urea has no charge, diffuses easily NH 4 has charge, diffuses slowly
7 Overview Urea Consumption Definitions UAN Solution Reactions Urea Dissolution and Diffusion Urea Hydrolysis Ammonia Volatilization Research Results Summary
8 Q. Does any ammonia volatilize from UAN solutions before they are applied or during the application? A. None or very little, depending on if a small amount of ammonia is added to protect against corrosion of mild steel.
9 Composition of UAN 28% N 14 % N from Ammonium Nitrate 7% ammonium N 7% nitrate N 14% N from Urea 30% water small amounts of inhibitors to inhibit corrosion of mild steel
10 Inhibitors to protect against corrosion of mild steel 0.5 % ammonia (raises ph to about 7.5) Ammonium phosphates at 0.2 % P 2 O 5 Others
11 NH4 NH4 4 = NH NH3 3 H H NH 4 = H (ion) (gas)
12 Urea Hydrolysis in UAN? DOES NOT OCCUR Therefore no ammonia is formed from the urea portion of the UAN solution from this process. Therefore no ammonia loss from the urea portion of UAN solution before soil application.
13 Summary of ammonia loss from UAN Urea in UAN does not hydrolyze in the fertilizer tank. The NH 4 from the ammonium nitrate portion of the UAN cannot be lost as. The amount of added to some UAN to inhibit corrosion is very small, around 10 lb per ton. A small portion of this may be lost during application.

15 Urea Dissolution Urea has to be dissolved before it can be hydrolyzed
16 Urea Dissolution Urea has to be dissolved before it can be hydrolyzed Urea can absorb water from the atmosphere and from the soil/crop residue
17 Urea Dissolution Urea has to be dissolved before it can be hydrolyzed Urea can absorb water from the atmosphere and from the soil/crop residue Absorption of water from the atmosphere depends on relative humidity (RH)
18 Urea Dissolution Urea has to be dissolved before it can be hydrolyzed Urea can absorb water from the atmosphere and from the soil/crop residue Absorption of water from the atmosphere depends on relative humidity (RH) Critical relative humidity (CRH) is the RH at which urea dissolves
