Can the crystallization of urea solution indicate its quality?

Urea solution crystallization can indicate its quality. Methods to distinguish the quality of urea solution: From appearance, the particles are uniform with consistent hardness. In terms of color and shape, they appear as small spherical or prismatic crystals in white or light yellow without any impurities. Regarding gloss and texture, they are translucent particles with a non-reflective surface, smooth, loose, and without a damp feeling. When burned, they will melt, emit white smoke, and produce an ammonia odor. The role of automotive urea: Automotive urea is an essential product for heavy-duty diesel vehicles to meet the National IV emission standards. It primarily functions to purify exhaust gases by reacting with nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust, thereby reducing NOx emissions. The main function of automotive urea is to convert nitrogen oxides (NOx) produced by diesel engines into harmless nitrogen gas (N2), reducing the NOx content in the exhaust to comply with national emission standards.
