Urea-SCR which is one of the aftertreatment technologies for reducing the NOx emission is widely used. An experimental study was performed to investigate urea decomposition under various thermo-fluid conditions, with different temperatures and velocities of inflow gas, and urea solution quantities. 40 wt. % aqueous urea solutions were used in this study. The inflow gas conditions were similar to the exhaust conditions of a large marine engine. The spray performance of urea solution injector was identical under all experimental conditions. The conversion efficiency of $NH_3$ was larger than that of HNCO under all experimental conditions, unlike for the theoretical thermolysis reaction.

The NOx emissions from diesel engines and industrial boilers are a major cause of environmental pollution. The selective catalytic reduction of urea is an aftertreatment technology that is widely used for the reduction of NOx emissions. The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the thermal decomposition of a urea aqueous solution using laboratory-scale experimental equipment under conditions similar to those of marine diesel engines. A 40 wt. urea aqueous solution was used in this study. It was found that the total conversion rate varied with the inflow gas conditions and flow rates of the urea aqueous solution. In addition, there were conversion rate differences between NH3 and HNCO. At inflow gas temperature conditions of $210^{\circ}C$ and $250^{\circ}C$, the $NH_3$ conversion rate was found to be higher than that of the HNCO, depending on the residence time.

The relative viscosities and osmotic coefficients of solutions of urea, 1,3-dimethyl-urea(DMU), acetamide(AA), and propionamide (PA) in dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO), water, methanol, and in ethanol have been measured at 25 and $45^{\circ}$C by viscometry and osmometry. Viscosity increment in nonaqueous solutions decreased with increasing of the partial molal volumes of the solutes, but in aqueous solution the result was inversed. Viscosity increment of aqueous solution was smaller than that of aqueous DMU solution, but that of nonaqueous urea solution was larger than that of DMU. Amides, however, showed similar viscosity increment in any solvent.Osmotic coefficients of aqueous solution of urea were larger than those of DMU. In the nonaqueous solutions urea exhibited larger deviation from Raoult's law than DMU. The results indicated that urea molecules break water-structure in water, self-associate in DMSO, and showed larger solute-solvent interaction in alcohols than DMU. It can be also confirmed that amides break alcohol structure to a greater extent than any other solutes.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the best melting condition with various winding number of a heating pipe, supplying quantity of engine coolant and coolant temperature at the inlet of the heating pipe. Also, it is to suggest getting method of an appropriate quantity of the agent for the urea-SCR system within 10 minutes. For this matter, this study identifies the temperature distribution of inside of urea-tank while it is frozen at the low temperature condition, and suggests the best melting condition of the frozen urea within 10 minutes. From the results, it was found that 2L of melted urea was obtained by the coolant flow rate of 200L/hr at $70^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes from the start of engine operating.

The effect of padding solution for the microwave heat dyeing of polyester fabric was studied variously. The dyeing property of polyester fabric varied with the kinds of added chemicals in the padding solution. Polyester fabrics impregnated in aqueous urea solution and aqueous sodium chloride solution for 10 minutes and then dyed for 7 minutes by microwave apparatus(2450 MHz, 700 W) under optimum conditions give good exhaustion. An aqueous solution of urea and a sodium chloride solution was more effective than water as padding solution for microwave heating dyeing. The K/S values of dyed polyester fabric by microwave were significantly affected by the type of solvent added in padding media and its concentration. Added solvents, n-hexane, acetone and dimethyl formamide were also more effective than water as padding media for the microwave heating dyeing. It is assumed that the effect of used solvents on dyeing property of polyester fabrics depends on the solubility parameter difference between solvent and polyester fabric.

The effect of padding solution on the microwave heat dyeing of polyester fabric was studied extensively. Polyester fabrics were impregnated in aqueous urea solution and aqueous sodium chloride solution for 10 min and then dyed for 7 min by microwave apparatus (2450 MHz, 700 W) under optimum conditions which provide good exhaustion. Aqueous solutions of urea and sodium chloride showed more effective than water as a padding solution for microwave heat dyeing. The type of solvent added in padding media and its concentration significantly affects the K/S values of dyed polyester fabric. Added solvents such as n-hexane, acetone, and dimethyl formamide were also more effective than 100 % water as padding media for the microwave heat dyeing. It is supposed that the effect of used solvents on dyeing property of polyester fabrics depends on the solubility parameter difference between solvent and polyester fabric.

Recently, there has been rising interest in applying urea-SCR systems to large marine diesel engines because the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has decided to enforce NOx reduction regulations. Generally, in the case of urea-SCR of the marine diesel engine, a type of twin fluid atomizer has been using for injection of the urea solution. This study conducted to investigate an effect of the atomization of external-mixing twin fluid nozzle on the conversion efficiency of reductant. The lab-scaled experiment device was installed to mimic the urea-SCR system of the marine diesel engine for this study. In a low temperature inflow gas condition which is similar with the exhaust temperature of large marine diesel engine, this study found that the conversion efficiency of reductant of when relative big size urea solution droplets are injected into exhaust gas stream can be larger than that of when small size urea solution droplets are injected. According to results of this study, the reason was associated with decrease of reaction rate constant caused from temperature drop of inflow gas by assist air of twin fluid atomizer.

The photochemical transformation of carbon monoxide in aqueous ammonia solution has been investigated at 25${\pm}$0.1$^{\circ}C$ using 184.9 nm UV light. Amination and carbonylation processes were carried out by irradiating the aqueous ammonia solution saturated with carbon monoxide, and the formation of formamide, urea, hexamethylenetetramine, formaldehyde, glyoxal and hydrazine was observed. The formation of hydrazine was affected by the presence of ammonia, and the formation of carbonyl compounds such as formaldehyde and glyoxal was influenced by the presence of carbon monoxide. The formation of formamide, urea and hexamethylenetetramine was affected by both ammonia and carbon monoxide. The initial quantum yields of the products were determined and probable mechanisms for the photochemical reaction were presented on the basis of product analysis.

Arylsulfonyl urea derivatives can be easily prepared in good yield by treating amines with arylsulfonyl carbamates in aqueous solution : 1) N-Arylsulfonyl-N'-aryl urea derivatives, 2) N-Arylsulfony-N'-alkyl urea derivatives, 3) N-Arylsulfonyl-N'- heterocyclic urea derivatives. The proposed reaction mechanisms for preparing arylsulfonyl ureas involve formation of an ion-pair conformation by initial acid-base reaction, then formation of a so-called tetrahedral intermediate by nucleophilic addition, followed by an acid-catalyzed elimination of an alkoxide ion and loss of a proton.
