It is shown that during crystallization urea forms mixed crystals, adsorption mixed crystals, and epitaxial growth from aqueous solutions with inorganic salts, the lattice parameters of which are lying within the tolerance of efficiency parameters of urea. The extent of the formation of mixed crystals is determined by the composition of the solution. The slats added to the solution affect changes of tracht and habit of urea and thus are important for improving storage and transport properties. Similar results can be found for modified melts of urea.
