The electrochemical synthesis of urea by simultaneous reduction of nitrite and CO2 was performed in 0.02 mol·L-1 NaNO2 and 0.2 mol·L-1 NaHCO3 aqueous solutions at 925 Ag electrode in laboratory-scale experiments.The effect of several parameters
including electrolysis potential
temperature
and CO2 pressure
on urea formation was investigated.At the temperature of 293 K
CO2 pressure of 0.7 MPa
the electrolytic potential of -0.6 V
the current efficiency of urea formation reached 37%.Under the conditions of temperature of 273 K and electrolytic potential of -1.7 V
the current efficiency reached 26% under normal ambient pressure.Based on the relationship of current efficiency and formation of CO
