Urea ammonium nitrate mix {RoW}| urea ammonium nitrate production | AusLCI, U
Unit process Rest of World v00.00.001
This dataset is a weighted average from the respective regional datasets. This dataset represents the production of 1 kg of urea ammonium nitrate, with 30% N. Urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) is a liquid fertiliser with 28-32 % nitrogen (N) content. Urea ammonium nitrate solutions are produced through mixing and cooling of concentrated urea and ammonium nitrate solutions. Both continuous and batch processes exist. The amount of CO2 recovered from the ammonia synthesis and used in urea production, will be inevitably and completely released back to the atmosphere after application of UAN to the soil. The main data sources for this dataset are Fertilizers Europe (2014, 2016). Additional data sources are listed as follows.
