Can Automotive Urea Barrels Be Used to Store Drinking Water?
1 Answers
Yes. Automotive urea refers to a urea aqueous solution with a urea concentration of 32.5%, using ultrapure water as the solvent. The raw materials are specialized automotive urea materials and ultrapure water. Automotive urea is highly soluble in water—105 grams can dissolve in 100 milliliters of water at 20°C, resulting in a neutral solution. Therefore, automotive urea solution barrels can be thoroughly cleaned with water, and once cleaned, they can be used to store water. Below is some relevant information about automotive urea solution: 1. Production Method: Industrially, urea is synthesized directly from liquid ammonia and carbon dioxide under high temperature and pressure. 2. Precautions: Automotive urea solution is non-toxic, but if the barrel is not thoroughly cleaned, long-term consumption of drinking water stored in such a barrel may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
