[0002] Marine urea solution is a high-purity aqueous solution of urea. As a reducing agent, it is specifically used in the exhaust gas treatment system of marine diesel engines. It can selectively catalytically reduce nitrogen oxides in exhaust gas into harmless nitrogen and water to meet the stringent emission regulations of the International Maritime Organization. It is a key consumable for ships to achieve green emission reduction.

[0003] In existing technologies, marine urea suffers from the problem of easy crystallization at low temperatures during practical applications. The solubility of marine urea decreases as the temperature drops. When the ambient temperature is below -11°C, urea crystals will precipitate in the marine urea solution, leading to pipeline blockage and injection system malfunctions. Adding anti-crystallization agents to address this problem, however, affects the stability of marine urea. Based on this, the present invention provides an anti-crystallization marine urea and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In this invention, additive A uses L-theanine as a raw material. It utilizes the amino and carboxyl active sites in its molecular structure to react with the polyphosphate groups in the composite acid solution and polymerize with 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid to generate a polymer with hydrogen bonding and steric hindrance effects. This polymer can be effectively adsorbed on the surface of urea crystal nuclei, interfering with the regular stacking and lattice growth of urea molecules, reducing the crystallization activation energy, thereby inhibiting the initiation and expansion of crystallization, and improving the anti-crystallization performance and low-temperature stability of urea.

[0016] 2. In this invention, additive B uses aramid fibers with surface alkali activation and shellac composite modification as a carrier. It utilizes glutaraldehyde crosslinking reaction to form a stable composite structure, introduces hydrophobic segments through maleic anhydride, and retains the rigid skeleton of aramid. The hydrophobic segments on its surface can reduce interfacial energy and form a stable dispersion system in solution. The rigid structure forms a physical barrier layer at the solid-liquid interface, effectively delaying the advancement of the crystallization front, while improving the overall system's dispersion uniformity and long-term storage stability.

[0017] 3. In this invention, additive A and additive B work together to resist crystallization. Additive A mainly acts on the nucleation and growth stages of the crystallization process, while additive B focuses on interface modification and physical barrier. The two intervene in the formation of crystals from different mechanism levels, so that the resulting marine urea solution maintains good anti-crystallization performance in low-temperature environments, while also having metal corrosion inhibition and pH stability, meeting the long-term reliable operation requirements of the ship selective catalytic reduction technology system.

[0054] Comparative Example 1: The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that this comparative example does not contain additive A.

[0055] Comparative Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that it does not contain additive B.

[0056] Comparative Example 3 differs from Example 1 in that no composite material was used in the preparation of additive A in this comparative example.

[0057] Performance testing: The anti-crystallization marine urea prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were subjected to performance testing, and the test data are recorded in the table below: Table 1 Testing items Low-temperature crystallization temperature (°C) Turbidity change rate (%) Corrosion weight loss (mg) Example 1 -18.5 3.2 0.85 Example 2 -19.2 2.8 0.78 Example 3 -18.8 3.5 0.92 Comparative Example 1 -9.7 12.5 2.89 Comparative Example 2 -8.3 18.6 2.17 Comparative Example 3 -11.2 8.7 2.20 In the performance test, the following steps were performed: Low-temperature crystallization temperature determination: Referring to the general method for crystallization temperature determination, differential scanning calorimetry was used to cool the sample. The temperature at which crystals began to precipitate was recorded as the crystallization temperature. The lower the crystallization temperature, the stronger the anti-crystallization performance. Turbidity change rate determination: The sample was placed in a constant temperature and humidity chamber and subjected to 10 cycles of testing within a temperature range of -10℃ to 40℃, with each cycle lasting 24 hours. After the test, the turbidity of the solution was measured at 25℃ using a turbidimeter and compared with the initial turbidity to calculate the turbidity change rate. Corrosion weight loss: A standard carbon steel test piece was completely immersed in the sample and soaked at 40℃ for 30 days. The test piece was then removed, cleaned, dried, and weighed. The corrosion weight loss per unit surface area was calculated.

[0058] According to the data in the table obtained from the performance test, the low-temperature crystallization temperature of the anti-crystallization marine urea prepared in Examples 1-3 is significantly lower than that of Comparative Examples 1-3, and the turbidity change rate and corrosion weight loss are also significantly lower than those of each comparative example. This is mainly attributed to the mechanism of action of additives A and B in inhibiting crystallization, stabilizing the system and synergistic corrosion prevention.

[0059] Additive A, through the formation of hydrogen bond networks and steric hindrance in urea solution by L-theanine-derived polymers, interferes with the nucleation and growth of urea crystals at the molecular level, thereby lowering the crystallization temperature. Additive B, with its modified hydrophobic surface and rigid structure of aramid fibers, constructs a physical barrier layer, delaying the crystallization process and improving the dispersion stability of the system. The two work together to not only improve the low-temperature crystallization resistance of marine urea, but also reduce the increase in turbidity caused by component aggregation by improving the uniformity of the system.

[0060] Comparative Example 1, which does not contain additive A, shows a significant increase in crystallization temperature, indicating that it loses its ability to interfere with crystallization at the molecular level, making the system more prone to crystallization. Comparative Example 2, which does not contain additive B, shows a significant increase in turbidity change rate, indicating a lack of physical barrier and dispersion stabilization effects, resulting in decreased stability of the system under temperature cycling. In Comparative Example 3, additive A was not used in the composite material, and its crystallization inhibition and system stabilization effects were weaker than those of the complete formulation, further confirming the key role of composite materials in constructing an effective polymer structure.

[0061] By comparing and analyzing the relevant data in the table, it can be seen that the anti-crystallization marine urea prepared by this invention not only has good anti-crystallization properties but also good dispersion stability. This indicates that the anti-crystallization marine urea provided by this invention has a broader market prospect and is more suitable for widespread application.
