Extracting urea from my own pee
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ธ.ค. 2017
- Urea is the largest non-water component of pee and it's generated by the metabolism and breakdown of proteins. It's an extremely useful compound and it's used in many commercial products, from fertilizers to cold packs. Im going to be using it for chemical synthesis, to make Dulcin (a now banned artificial sweetener) and Dilantin (an anti-seizure medication). And maybe some other things.
I definitely think that it is weird to use something that was once part of me to build new chemicals. However, it is also pretty cool. On top of this, Ill be tasting the Dulcin, so things will go full circle.
Note: when I mention dilute nitric acid, it is a 50/50 mixture of conc. HNO3 (~65%) and water.

Great job. Historically gunpowder production involved some degree of urine input to make potassium nitrate. I think phosphorus might also have been produced. I seem to remember that bakelite (think old black telephones), involved urea, as well as some adhesives and Formica. Making better use of urine would be the ultimate recycling success, if it could be achieved without too much energy. Direct processing into fertilizer probably makes the most sense at the moment. It's funny that processing pee makes us a bit squeamish, but some modern food processing is way worse than this!

"Makes some nice and appetizing pee foam"..... *You're on your own with that one man*
Very cool. I just found your channel and subscribed.
It would be tempting to approach the isolation a different way but I haven't worked it out.
Perhaps try to bubble air through the original urine and see if that could selectively oxidize or flotation separate off the majority of the proteins.
Vertical gradient freezing could potentially remove the bulk of the water as ice.
Perhaps an extraction using toluene could be useful?
Ultimately a gradient freezing method will probably be needed to achieve a high purity at the end.
Just some ideas to kick around for fun.

When a chemist says that a procedure was nasty for its stench, then you know that it has been really, REALLY stinky.

I think Nile just inadvertently committed chemical warfare on his whole neighbourhood during this project.
You would have lost some urea in the heating process, urease enzyme hydrolyses urea into bicarbonate and ammonia, which would then volatilise in the heating steps that you took. To prevent this you would need to alter the pH to either above 12 or below 3 which would inhibit the urease enzyme
