Metal-Urea-Montmorillonite Hybrid Incorporated with Citric Acid

Massive intercalation of urea into montmorillonite (MUCH) was recently proposed to enhance urea use efficiency through smart suppression of emission of NH_3/TEX> and NOx. This study was to synthesize citrate-incorporated MUCH (Cit-MUCH) which can enhance suppression of NH_3/TEX> volatilization. The XRD pattern of Cit-MUCH was very similar to that of MUCH to indicate successful incorporation of citric acid into MUCH. Incorporation...
