Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of heat storage wood. Background Art

[0002] Phase change materials, because they can utilize the phase change conversion process to store environmental energy such as excess waste heat in the form of latent heat, thereby reducing the consumption of non-renewable fuels, reducing carbon emissions, and achieving green and sustainable development. However, due to the problem of liquid phase leakage in actual use, phase change energy storage materials usually need to be solved by being adsorbed in a supporting material. As a natural biomass material, wood has a unique anisotropic porous structure, excellent mechanical strength, biodegradability, renewability, low cost, wide source, and environmental friendliness. Combining wood with phase change energy storage materials to construct heat storage wood is currently an effective way to solve the leakage problem of phase change energy storage materials. However, long-term phase change energy storage at high temperatures makes it difficult to avoid local overheating, which can cause risks such as fire and cause huge losses.

[0003] In previous studies, some flame retardants (such as montmorillonite, expanded graphite, magnesium hydroxide, red phosphorus, etc.) are usually added to heat storage wood to solve its flammability, but with the addition of flame retardant additives, the energy storage density will be greatly reduced. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the problem that adding some flame retardants to existing heat storage wood to solve its flammability will greatly reduce the energy storage density, and further provide a preparation method of flame retardant heat storage wood with high energy storage density.

[0005] A method for preparing flame-retardant heat-storage wood with high energy storage density is carried out according to the following steps:

[0006] 1. Add the wood into the delignification solution and cook until the wood turns white, and finally wash it to obtain delignified wood;

[0007] Second, the delignified wood is placed in a NaOH solution and boiled to remove hemicellulose to obtain a cellulose wood skeleton;

[0008] 3. Mixing triphenyl phosphate and phase change energy storage material, heating and stirring, to obtain a composite flame retardant phase change energy storage material;

[0009] Fourth, the cellulose wood skeleton is impregnated into the composite flame-retardant phase change energy storage material by vacuum impregnation to obtain flame-retardant heat storage wood with high energy storage density.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0011] The high-energy-storage-density flame-retardant heat-storage wood of the present invention not only stores and releases heat and regulates ambient temperature, but is also flame-retardant, addressing the flammability drawback of conventional heat-storage wood and broadening its scope and applications. Furthermore, it features a simple preparation method, a short production cycle, minimal equipment requirements, and low cost, promising broad application prospects.

[0012] 1. The present invention removes lignin and hemicellulose and uses a cellulose wood skeleton as a supporting material, which not only retains the original three-dimensional porous structure and uses capillary force to limit the leakage of phase change energy storage materials, but also increases the specific surface area and porosity after removing lignin and hemicellulose, which can adsorb more phase change energy storage materials, thereby improving the energy storage density of the composite material.

[0013] 2. Triphenyl phosphate itself has both flame retardant properties and heat energy storage properties. With the addition of triphenyl phosphate, it will not only not reduce the energy storage density of heat storage wood, but also give it flame retardant properties.

[0014] 3. The present invention regulates the ratio of triphenyl phosphate to phase change energy storage material. As the content of phase change energy storage material increases, the supercooling of triphenyl phosphate can be reduced, thereby regulating the supercooling of the composite material, thereby improving the energy storage efficiency of the heat storage wood.

[0015] 4. The scheme of the present invention has high feasibility, simple operation process, short preparation cycle, mild reaction conditions, low cost, can realize large-scale industrial production and processing, and has very broad application prospects.

[0027] Specific embodiment 1: This embodiment is a method for preparing flame-retardant heat storage wood with high energy storage density, which is carried out according to the following steps:

[0028] 1. Add the wood into the delignification solution and cook until the wood turns white, and finally wash it to obtain delignified wood;

[0029] Second, the delignified wood is placed in a NaOH solution and boiled to remove hemicellulose to obtain a cellulose wood skeleton;

[0030] 3. Mixing triphenyl phosphate and phase change energy storage material, heating and stirring, to obtain a composite flame retardant phase change energy storage material;

[0031] Fourth, the cellulose wood skeleton is impregnated into the composite flame-retardant phase change energy storage material by vacuum impregnation to obtain flame-retardant heat storage wood with high energy storage density.

[0032] This specific embodiment proposes to use delignified and de-hemicellulosed wood skeleton as the supporting material, which effectively solves the problem of liquid leakage of phase change energy storage materials. By introducing triphenyl phosphate into the phase change energy storage material, the phase change energy storage performance and flame retardancy of triphenyl phosphate itself are utilized, which not only effectively improves the flame retardancy of the heat storage wood, but also improves the energy storage density of the heat storage wood. In addition, the supercooling degree of triphenyl phosphate is large, which is not conducive to the occurrence of phase change heat energy storage and release. By combining with the phase change energy storage material, the supercooling degree of triphenyl phosphate can be greatly reduced. The flame retardant heat storage wood with high energy storage density prepared by the present invention not only has flame retardancy, solves the flammability problem of phase change energy storage materials and wood, but also has high energy storage density and excellent heat storage capacity, thereby efficiently regulating the ambient temperature and alleviating energy pressure.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are:

[0034] The high-energy-density, flame-retardant, heat-storage wood of this embodiment not only stores and releases heat, regulating ambient temperature, but also exhibits flame retardancy, addressing the flammability drawback of existing heat-storage wood and broadening its scope and applications. Furthermore, it features a simple preparation method, a short production cycle, minimal equipment requirements, and low cost, promising broad application prospects.

[0035] 1.

[0037] 3. This embodiment regulates the ratio of triphenyl phosphate to phase change energy storage material. As the content of phase change energy storage material increases, the supercooling of triphenyl phosphate can be reduced, thereby regulating the supercooling of the composite material, thereby improving the energy storage efficiency of the heat storage wood.

As can be seen, the delignified wood retains its original three-dimensional porous structure. After impregnation with triphenyl phosphate and the phase-change energy storage material, the pores in the delignified wood are completely filled, demonstrating the successful preparation of the high-energy-density flame-retardant thermal storage wood. Furthermore, EDS spectrum analysis reveals a carbon content of 51%, an oxygen content of 34%, and a phosphorus content of 5%, indicating that the triphenyl phosphate and the phase-change energy storage material are uniformly distributed throughout the high-energy-density flame-retardant thermal storage wood.

[0070] Figure 3 This is a DSC curve diagram of the flame-retardant heat storage wood with high energy storage density prepared in Example 1; as can be seen from the figure, the melting enthalpy of the heat storage wood is 121.4 kJ / kg and the crystallization enthalpy is 106.2 kJ / kg, indicating that it has a high energy storage density and good heat storage capacity.
