Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of pyrotechnic composition, and particularly relates to a color smoke generator containing nanomaterials. BACKGROUND

[0002] The color smoke generator generally contains an oxidation / reduction pair and an organic dye in powder form. The organic dye is sublimated to produce smoke through the reaction between the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent. Various smoke products made of the color smoke generator are widely used in military training, celebration performance, signal indication and other fields.

[0003] The patent document with the publication number CN116867756A discloses a smoke generating composition. The smoke generating composition selects an organic dye with a sublimation temperature lower than a decomposition temperature to reduce toxins generated during decomposition of the organic dye. However, the color smoke generator has the following disadvantages: 1. Slow smoke generating speed: The combustion reaction rate of the traditional formula is not intense enough, resulting in insufficient smoke production per unit time and a long time required from ignition to the formation of thick smoke.

[0004] 2. Small diameter of smoke column: The smoke production rate and gas generation amount are limited, resulting in weak smoke diffusion ability, small smoke column and poor visual effect, especially when observed from a long distance.

[0005] 3. Low color saturation and dull color: Some dyes are decomposed and carbonized due to high combustion temperature, or faded due to side reactions with other components of the composition, resulting in low color saturation and dull color of the final smoke. SUMMARY

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a color smoke generator containing nanomaterials to solve the problems of slow smoke generating speed, small diameter of smoke column and unsaturated color of smoke of the existing color smoke generator.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present application is as follows: A color smoke generator containing nanomaterials, characterized in that, relative to the total weight of the composition, it contains: 25% to 40% of an oxidizing agent; 20% to 30% of a reducing agent; 25% to 40% of an organic dye; 2% to 10% of a nanoscale functional additive. The nanoscale functional additive can be selected from one or a mixture of two or more of nanoscale silicon dioxide (SiO2), nanoscale aluminum trioxide (Al2O3) and nanoscale perlite powder.

[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the oxidizing agent is one or a mixture of two of potassium chlorate and potassium nitrate.

[0009] The nanomaterial-containing color smoke agent according to claim 2, wherein the reducing agent is one or more of lactose, sucrose, sulfur and flour.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the organic dye is one or more of solvent red, solvent blue, solvent yellow and solvent green.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the composition further comprises a binder, and the content of the binder is 2% to 6% relative to the total mass of the composition.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the binder is one of phenol formaldehyde resin and shellac.

[0013] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the particle size of the nanoscale functional additive ranges from 10 nm to 100 nm.

[0014] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the particle size of the organic dye is not more than 200 μm.

[0015] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the decomposition temperature of the organic dye is higher than 400℃.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: by introducing the nanoscale functional additive, the combustion performance and smoke effect of the color smoke agent are fundamentally improved. The nanomaterial has a large specific surface area and high surface activity, and can be used as an efficient combustion catalyst and reaction promoter. They are uniformly dispersed in the agent, greatly increasing the contact area between the reaction components, significantly accelerating the mass transfer and reaction rate between solid-solid phases, making the combustion more intense and rapid, so as to produce a large amount of smoke in an instant. The intense combustion reaction produces a large amount of high-temperature gas, which rapidly expands and carries the gasified dye particles out, forming strong initial kinetic energy and thermal lifting force. This makes the diffusion volume of the smoke in the air significantly increase, forming a thick and full smoke column, and the visual effect is extremely shocking. The addition of the nanoscale additive promotes the completeness and uniformity of the combustion, avoiding the local overheating phenomenon. This reduces the thermal decomposition and carbonization damage to the heat-sensitive organic dye molecules, so that more dyes can evaporate and condense into smoke in the form of complete molecules, thereby presenting a more pure, more saturated and more bright color.
