Urea is an organic chemical compound that we refer to as carbonic acid diamide. It is the end product of the metabolism of proteins and other nitrogenous compounds in ureotelic animals (which excrete most of their nitrogen as urea through metabolic processes). On an industrial scale, urea is produced by conducting a direct reaction of carbon dioxide with ammonia under pressure and at temperatures of 160 to 200°C.
