Abstract

The present invention provides a three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent, a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent comprises the following components in parts by weight: short-chain fluorocarbon surfactant: 1-10 parts, hydrocarbon surfactant: 10-20 parts, heat-treated aerogel foam stabilizer: 0.5-3 parts; organic solvent: 8-13 parts, antifreeze agent: 1-10 parts, anti-burning agent: 1-10 parts. The present invention uses heat-treated silica aerogel as a foam stabilizer, which has a very high surface adsorption energy. The high adsorption energy causes the aerogel to irreversibly adhere to the air / water interface and form a solid surface adsorption layer to slow down the coarsening and aggregation of bubbles. When the aerogel aggregates at the Prandtl boundary, the blocking effect of the restricted aerogel molecules causes the foam to precipitate more slowly, thereby significantly improving the foam stability. Its foam stabilizing performance is also better than that of a traditional water-soluble polymer foam stabilizer (such as xanthan gum).

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of foam extinguishing agents for Class B fires, and particularly relates to a three-phase aqueous film-forming foam extinguishing agent, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, the foam extinguishing agents are mainly gas-liquid two-phase extinguishing agents, which are mainly formed by mixing a foam concentrate and air in a certain proportion and foaming through a foam generating device. The aqueous film-forming foam extinguishing agent has a fast spreading speed and can form a "water film" on the fuel surface. With the dual effects of cooling and suffocation, it has the characteristics of high fire extinguishing efficiency and good foam stability, and is currently the most effective extinguishing agent for extinguishing open-air liquid fires. However, the traditional aqueous film-forming foam extinguishing agent has certain environmental pollution. During the actual fire extinguishing process, the core component in the extinguishing agent, the long-chain fluorocarbon surfactant, will be thermally decomposed, releasing substances such as perfluorooctane sulfonyl compounds (PFOS) that are difficult to decompose, causing serious harm to the human body and the environment. With the increasingly perfect environmental protection policies and regulations of various countries, the traditional aqueous film-forming foam extinguishing agent has gradually been phased out by the market.

[0003] Currently, the new environmentally friendly aqueous film-forming foam extinguishing agent mainly uses short-chain fluorocarbons (carbon chain length <C6) to replace the long-chain fluorocarbon surfactant. A large number of studies have shown that short-chain fluorocarbons can greatly reduce environmental pollution while maintaining the excellent performance of long-chain fluorocarbon surfactants, and will not decompose pollutants such as perfluorooctane sulfonyl compounds (PFOS) during the fire extinguishing process, and can be used as a substitute for long-chain fluorocarbon surfactants. Therefore, most of the current environmentally friendly aqueous film-forming foam extinguishing agents use the compounding of its core components, short-chain fluorocarbons and hydrocarbon surfactants, which not only meets the requirements of international environmental protection regulations, but also has performance basically close to that of traditional aqueous film-forming foam extinguishing agents.

[0004] Chinese Patent CN116173456A proposes an organosilicon surfactant composite system for foaming and foam stabilization of a foam fire extinguisher. Based on the organosilicon surfactant composite system, this patent deduces the optimal combination of foam concentration under the composite formula, and innovatively uses an organosilicon surfactant as the surfactant of the foam, reducing environmental pollution. However, the organosilicon surfactant is prone to hydrolysis, and its performance is far from reaching the effect of using a fluorocarbon surfactant. At the same time, using xanthan gum as a foam stabilizer is also not conducive to improving other physical and chemical properties of the foam liquid. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a three-phase aqueous film-forming foam extinguishing agent, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof.

The present invention uses heat-treated silica aerogel as a foam stabilizer, and the heat-treated silica aerogel is a solid nanoporous structure with high surface adsorption energy. The high adsorption energy causes the aerogel to irreversibly adhere to the air / water interface and form a solid surface adsorption layer to slow down the coarsening and aggregation of bubbles. When the aerogel gathers at the Prandtl boundary, the blocking effect of the restricted aerogel molecules causes the foam to precipitate more slowly, thereby significantly improving the foam stability. At the same time, silica aerogel can ensure the excellent foaming performance of the foam liquid, low viscosity, good surface activity and other advantages, and its foam stabilizing performance is also better than that of using traditional water-soluble polymers (such as xanthan gum) as foam stabilizers.

When it is added to an aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent, a solid-liquid-gas three-phase foam fire extinguishing agent is formed. Not only does the foam spread quickly and can quickly extinguish fires, but the excellent foam stability can effectively suppress the spread of fire and further improve the fire control effect. It also has excellent fire extinguishing and anti-burning properties when used in foam fire extinguishing agents. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] The present invention provides a three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent, comprising the following components in parts by weight:

[0032] Short-chain fluorocarbon surfactant: 1-10 parts, hydrocarbon surfactant: 10-20 parts, aerogel foam stabilizer: 0.5-3 parts; organic solvent: 8-13 parts, antifreeze agent: 1-10 parts, anti-burning agent: 1-10 parts;

[0033] The aerogel foam stabilizer is heat-treated silicon dioxide aerogel.

[0034] In the present invention, the short-chain fluorocarbon surfactant is one or more of FS-50, Cap1157, Cap1440, Cap1203G, Cap1470, Cap1460, SMF730, and FS3100, more preferably one of Cap1157, Cap1440, Cap1203G, Cap1470, and Cap1460, and most preferably Cap1157 or Cap1470; the weight proportion of the short-chain fluorocarbon surfactant is preferably 1 to 10 parts, more preferably 2 to 8 parts, such as 1 part, 2 parts, 3 parts, 4 parts, 5 parts, 6 parts, 7 parts, 8 parts, 9 parts, and 10 parts, preferably a range value with any of the above values ​​as the upper or lower limit.

[0035] In the present invention, the hydrocarbon surfactant is preferably disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate DLS, disodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (3) sulfosuccinate MES, disodium acid monoethanolamide sulfosuccinate DMSS, potassium monododecyl phosphate MAPK, alcohol ether phosphate (AEO3, AEO9 phosphate), potassium lauryl ether phosphate (MAEPK), fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (EO=3) ammonium sulfate (AESA), coconut acid monoethanolamide (CMEA), coconut acid diethanolamide (6501), sodium lauryl sulfate SDS, cocamidopropyl betaine CAB-35, cocamidopropyl One or more of betaine KLH-30, lauramidopropyl betaine (LAB-35), cocamidopropyl hydroxysulfobetaine CHSB-35, lauramidopropyl hydroxysulfobetaine (LHSB-35), lauramidopropyl amine oxide (LAO-30), and sodium lauryl amphoacetate (LAD-30); the weight proportion of the hydrocarbon surfactant is preferably 10 to 20 parts, more preferably 12 to 18 parts, such as 10 parts, 11 parts, 12 parts, 13 parts, 14 parts, 15 parts, 16 parts, 17 parts, 18 parts, 19 parts, and 20 parts, preferably a range value with any of the above values ​​as the upper or lower limit.

[0036] At present, the foam stabilizers used in environmentally friendly water-based foam fire extinguishing agents are mostly water-soluble polymers (mainly sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) and xanthan gum (XG)), which are widely used in foam displacement, oil field recovery and other fields. Water-soluble polymers mainly improve the stability of foam by increasing the viscosity of the foam liquid. Although the foam stability is improved, the foaming performance of the foam liquid is greatly weakened at the same time, and the increase in viscosity is not conducive to the rapid diffusion of the foam liquid on the oil surface. In addition, the foam formed by the water-soluble polymer as a foam stabilizer will agglomerate inside, and a uniform and stable foam solution cannot be formed for a long time.

[0037] In the present invention, the aerogel foam stabilizer is preferably a heat-treated silica aerogel. The silica aerogel added in the present invention is a solid phase material with a pore structure and heat-insulating hydrophobic properties. Since the silica aerogel is a super-hydrophobic material, if it is directly added to the aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent prepared by the present invention, it will float on the surface of the solution and cannot be dissolved. The present invention heat-treats it to reduce the methyl content in the silica aerogel structure, change its hydrophobic properties, weaken its hydrophobic properties, and can be evenly dissolved in the foam liquid. After the foam liquid is foamed, the silica aerogel will be adsorbed on the surface of the foam layer and exist in the Prandtl boundary formed between the foams, thereby slowing down the foam liquid precipitation rate and improving the foam stability. This aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent formed by solid-liquid-gas three phases is not available in other fire extinguishing agent systems.

[0038] In the present invention, the weight proportion of the aerogel foam stabilizer is preferably 0.5 to 3 parts, more preferably 1 to 2 parts, such as 0.5 parts, 1 parts, 1.5 parts, 2 parts, 2.5 parts, 3 parts, preferably a range value with any of the above values ​​as the upper or lower limit.

[0039] In the present invention, the silica aerogel is preferably subjected to the following heat treatment steps:

[0040] The silica aerogel powder is evenly spread in the crucible to allow it to be fully heat treated. It is then placed in the SXW ceramic fiber furnace for high temperature heating.

[0041] In the present invention, the temperature of the heat treatment is preferably 500-700°C, more preferably 550-650°C, such as 500°C, 550°C, 600°C, 650°C, 700°C, preferably a range value with the above any numerical value as the upper or lower limit; the time of the heat treatment is preferably 60-120min, more preferably 90-100min, such as 60min, 70min, 80min, 90min, 100min, 110min, 120min, preferably a range value with the above any numerical value as the upper or lower limit; the time for heating to the heat treatment temperature is preferably 50-80min, more preferably 60-70min.

[0042] In the present invention, as the heat treatment temperature increases, the methyl content of the silica aerogel decreases, gradually changing from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. By controlling the heat treatment process parameters within the above range, an aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent with stable foam performance and optimal thermal insulation and hydrophobic properties can be obtained.

[0043] In the present invention, the organic solvent is preferably one or more of benzene, toluene, xylene, pentane, hexane, octane, cyclohexane, cyclohexanone, toluene cyclohexanone, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene, dichloromethane, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, ether, propylene oxide, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, acetone, methyl butyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, acetonitrile, pyridine, phenol, styrene, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, ethylene glycol ether ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol butyl ether, ethylene glycol tert-butyl ether, isopropanol and diethylene glycol monobutyl ether; the weight proportion of the organic solvent is preferably 8 to 13 parts, more preferably 9 to 12 parts, such as 8 parts, 9 parts, 10 parts, 11 parts, 12 parts, 13 parts, preferably a range value with any of the above values ​​as the upper or lower limit.

[0044] The antifreeze agent is one or more of sucrose, maltose, lactose, sorbitol, sodium pyrophosphate, sodium tripolyphosphate, urea, ammonium polyphosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate; the weight proportion of the antifreeze agent is preferably 1 to 10 parts, more preferably 2 to 8 parts, such as 1 part, 2 parts, 3 parts, 4 parts, 5 parts, 6 parts, 7 parts, 8 parts, 9 parts, 10 parts, preferably a range value with any of the above values ​​as the upper or lower limit.

[0045] The anti-burning agent is one or more of urea, ammonium polyphosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate; the weight proportion of the anti-burning agent is preferably 1 to 10 parts, more preferably 2 to 8 parts, such as 1 part, 2 parts, 3 parts, 4 parts, 5 parts, 6 parts, 7 parts, 8 parts, 9 parts, 10 parts, preferably a range value with any of the above values ​​as the upper or lower limit.

[0046] In the present invention, the three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent also includes water, preferably deionized water, and the amount of water used is based on the total amount of short-chain fluorocarbon surfactant, hydrocarbon surfactant, aerogel foam stabilizer, organic solvent, antifreeze agent, anti-burning agent and water being 100 parts by weight.

[0047] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent, comprising the following steps:

[0048] Stir and dissolve a short-chain fluorocarbon surfactant, a hydrocarbon surfactant, an organic solvent and water to obtain a mixed solution A;

[0049] The aerogel foam stabilizer, the antifreeze agent, the antiburn agent and the water are stirred and dissolved to obtain a mixed solution B;

[0050] The mixed solution A and the mixed solution B are mixed, and water is added to obtain a three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent.

[0051] In the present invention, the types and amounts of the short-chain fluorocarbon surfactant, hydrocarbon surfactant, organic solvent, aerogel foam stabilizer, antifreeze agent, anti-burning agent and water are consistent with the types and amounts of the short-chain fluorocarbon surfactant, hydrocarbon surfactant, organic solvent, aerogel foam stabilizer, antifreeze agent, anti-burning agent and water described above, and the present invention will not be repeated here.

[0052] The present invention mixes a short-chain fluorocarbon surfactant, a hydrocarbon surfactant, an organic solvent and deionized water for dissolution, and continuously stirs. Then, the mixed solution is fully stirred for 30 to 60 minutes under magnetic stirring conditions, and after the substances in the beaker are completely dissolved, the mixture is allowed to stand for 5 to 10 minutes to obtain a mixed solution A.

[0053] The silica aerogel foam stabilizer, antifreeze agent, antiburn agent and deionized water are mixed and stirred for 60 to 90 minutes and then allowed to stand for 5 to 10 minutes to form a mixed solution B.

[0054] After the mixed solution A and the mixed solution B are mixed, deionized water is added to make the total weight portion be 100 parts, and the mixture is stirred for 60 to 120 minutes and then allowed to stand for 30 to 60 minutes to obtain the three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent.

[0055] In the three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent, the mass content of the short-chain fluorocarbon surfactant in the three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent is 1% to 10%; the mass content of the hydrocarbon surfactant in the three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent is 10% to 20%; the mass content of the silica aerogel foam stabilizer in the three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent is 0.5% to 3%; the mass content of the organic solvent in the three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent is 8% to 13%, the mass content of the antifreeze agent in the three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent is 1% to 10%, and the mass content of the anti-burning agent in the three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent is 1% to 10%.

[0056] The present invention also provides an application of the above-mentioned three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent in extinguishing Class B fires.

[0057] In the present invention, the Class B fire refers to liquid fire and meltable solid material fire, such as gasoline, kerosene, crude oil, methanol, ethanol, asphalt, paraffin fire.

[0058] The present invention preferably uses fresh water to dilute the three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent and then uses it for extinguishing Class B fires through a compressed air foam generating device.

[0059] In the present invention, the volume ratio of the three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent to fresh water is preferably (1-10): (99-90), more preferably (3-6): (97-94), such as 1:99, 2:98, 3:97, 4:96, 5:95, 6:94, 7:93, 8:92, 9:91, 10:90, preferably a range value with any of the above values ​​as the upper or lower limit. Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent and fresh water are mixed and diluted in a volume ratio of 3:97 or 6:94, and the diluted solution is a 3% or 6% aqueous film-forming foam liquid.

[0060] Experimental results show that the foam fire extinguishing agent prepared by the present invention has a surface tension of 15.852-16.403 mN / m, a dynamic viscosity of 0.80-0.90 mPa.s, a foaming property of 210-220 mm, a 25% liquid separation time of 3.18-4.35 min, a fire extinguishing time of 55-80 s, and a burning resistance time of 12.93-13.78 min when using silica aerogel as a foam stabilizer under 500°C heat treatment.

[0061] Traditional water-soluble polymers are used as foam stabilizers. When using xanthan gum XG, the surface tension is 16.000-17.479 mN / m, the dynamic viscosity is 4.20-5.30 mPa.s, the foaming property is 150-180 mm, the 25% liquid separation time is 3.06-4.02 min, the fire extinguishing time is 58-87 s, and the anti-burning time is 12.60-13.35 min.

[0062] When using sodium carboxymethyl cellulose NACMC, the surface tension is 16.000-16.527 mN / m, the dynamic viscosity is 2.00-2.50 mPa.s, the foaming property is 190-210 mm, the 25% liquid separation time is 3.10-4.15 min, the fire extinguishing time is 60-82 s, and the anti-burning time is 12.90-13.30 min.

[0063] The foam liquid formula provided by the present invention not only meets the national standard requirements for various properties, but is also superior to traditional AFFF. The three-phase foam fire extinguishing agent based on short-chain fluorocarbon, hydrocarbon, and silica aerogel can further improve the foam stability and prepare a three-phase AFFF foam fire extinguishing agent with excellent performance.

[0064] In order to further illustrate the present invention, a three-phase aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent, a preparation method and an application thereof provided by the present invention are described in detail below in combination with embodiments, but it should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
