Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solid chemical oxygen source technology, and relates to an oxygen-generating propellant column for oxygen candles, particularly an oxygen-generating propellant column for oxygen candles that can burn stably and continuously at ultra-low temperatures and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] An oxygen candle is a solid oxygen source that produces high-purity oxygen by catalytically decomposing chlorate. When ignited, the chlorate decomposes under the action of a catalyst to produce oxygen. Oxygen candles offer significant advantages. First, they provide a stable oxygen supply, continuously and uniformly producing oxygen once activated, ensuring a constant supply to enclosed spaces, such as in mine rescues and submarine voyages. Second, they are small and portable, eliminating the need for bulky high-pressure gas cylinders, making storage and transportation easy and allowing for rapid deployment in emergencies. Third, they are extremely easy to operate, with a simple and intuitive triggering method that allows even non-professionals to quickly learn how to use them, ensuring timely oxygen supply in critical moments where every second counts, becoming a solid safeguard for life.
[0003] The oxygen candle has an ingenious structure, integrating four main parts: an ignition system, an oxygen production system, a filtration system, and a heat insulation system. The oxygen production column, as the core of the oxygen production system, is primarily characterized by its unique chemical formula, consisting of chlorate or perchlorate combined with catalysts and metallic fuels. The precise control of fuel type, dosage, and thermal management strategy is particularly important to ensure the spontaneous and continuous supply of oxygen, enabling the oxygen production column to operate safely and stably.
[0004] However, adding metallic fuels to oxygen candles poses several risks:
[0005] 1) Reduced safety. Metal fuels generally have high reactivity. Adding metal fuels to an oxygen-generating propellant column in an oxygen candle will directly increase the temperature of the oxygen candle wall due to the increased heat from combustion. If not properly controlled, excessive heat may accumulate inside the oxygen candle, increasing the risk of runaway combustion. Metals such as magnesium, aluminum, and titanium release large amounts of heat during combustion and react violently. Even slight changes in the reaction conditions of the oxygen candle, such as a slightly higher temperature or abnormal local oxygen concentration, can cause a rapid acceleration of the combustion process, potentially leading to explosions or other serious safety accidents.
[0006] 2) Production of harmful byproducts. The combustion of metallic fuels produces byproducts such as metal oxides. For example, aluminum produces aluminum oxide after combustion. If these metal oxide particles are inhaled, they can damage the respiratory tract and lungs. When oxygen candles are used in enclosed spaces such as submarines and mine shelters, these harmful byproducts can pollute the air and have long-term adverse effects on human health.
[0007] 3) Stability is affected. The addition of metallic fuel may affect the chemical stability of the oxygen-producing propellant column itself. Oxygen candles typically need to remain stable under certain temperature and humidity conditions for long-term storage and immediate use. Metallic fuel may react chemically with other components in the oxygen-producing propellant column, causing the column to deteriorate or clump during storage, thereby shortening the shelf life of the oxygen candle and reducing its reliability.
[0008] Meanwhile, the integrity of the morphology of the oxygen-producing propellant after combustion plays a crucial role in the oxygen-producing process of an oxygen candle. If the morphology of the reaction products becomes uncontrolled after combustion, it can easily lead to the formation of pores within the propellant, causing numerous serious problems. During oxygen candle combustion, reaction rates may vary in different parts of the propellant. Slight uneven distribution of components within the propellant, or inconsistencies in local temperature and oxygen concentration, can cause some areas to react too quickly. When the reactants in these areas are rapidly consumed, the surrounding reactants cannot replenish them in time, creating voids within the propellant and eventually developing into pores. These pores act as barriers, preventing close contact between the reaction front and unreacted reactants, significantly reducing the efficiency of the chemical reaction and consequently drastically decreasing the oxygen production rate.
[0009] Furthermore, most oxygen candle products currently on the market have a significant drawback: they struggle to maintain a stable and continuous combustion state in ultra-low temperature environments. As applications become increasingly diverse, the demand for oxygen in extreme cold conditions, such as polar scientific expeditions and high-altitude cold-region rescue operations, is becoming increasingly prominent. Therefore, the reliable operation of solid oxygen candles in frigid environments is crucial. Overcoming the challenge of low-temperature adaptability for solid oxygen candles is urgent, as it not only affects the performance of related equipment in extremely cold environments but is also a key element in expanding the application boundaries of oxygen candles and ensuring the smooth progress of special missions.
[0010] CN 114906815A discloses an ultra-low temperature nano-solid oxygen candle oxygen generator, which achieves continuous combustion of the oxygen candle in a low-temperature environment by adding an appropriate amount of nano-iron oxide or cobalt catalyst to chlorate. However, its lowest combustion temperature can only reach -40℃, and after further reducing the temperature, its oxygen-generating propellant still cannot achieve stable continuous combustion. Summary of the Invention
[0011] The purpose of this invention is to provide a low-temperature oxygen candle oxygen-generating propellant column and its preparation method, so that the oxygen candle can burn stably at a lower temperature and the residue after combustion is not easily flowed.
[0012] To achieve the above-mentioned objective, the low-temperature oxygen candle oxygen-generating column of the present invention does not use metal fuel, but is prepared solely from the following raw materials in the following mass percentages: 95.5-98.5% pretreated oxygen-generating source, 0.5-3.5% catalyst, and 0.2-1% chlorine inhibitor. The pretreated oxygen-generating source is a powdered oxygen-generating source with a particle size of less than 300 μm obtained by incorporating 0.2-0.65% by mass of a highly thermally conductive carbon-based nanomaterial into a chlorate-based oxygen-generating source.
[0013] The low-temperature oxygen candle oxygen-generating propellant column of the present invention can continue to burn until the oxygen release ends in a low-temperature environment of -55℃, and has low heat generation and stable oxygen release.
[0014] Specifically, the chlorate-based oxygen source in the pretreatment oxygen source described in this invention is one of potassium chlorate, sodium chlorate, potassium perchlorate, or sodium perchlorate, or a mixture of several in any proportion.
[0015] More specifically, the highly thermally conductive carbon-based nanomaterial is any one of graphene, carbon nanotubes, or nanographite.
[0016] The main function of adding a catalyst to an oxygen-generating column is to lower the decomposition temperature of chlorate-based oxygen-generating sources, thereby reducing the surface temperature of the oxygen candle. The catalyst described in this invention is a nano-oxide catalyst made of iron, cobalt, nickel, or manganese.
[0017] Furthermore, the catalyst is preferably selected from one or a combination of several of nano-iron oxide, nano-cobalt oxide, nano-cobalt trioxide, nano-cobalt suboxide, nano-manganese dioxide, or nano-nickel oxide.
[0018] Furthermore, the particle size of the catalyst described in this invention is 20-200 nm.
[0019] Furthermore, the purpose of adding a chlorine inhibitor is to eliminate the generated chlorine gas and reduce its content. The chlorine inhibitor described in this invention is one of barium peroxide, sodium peroxide, and lithium peroxide, or a combination of several in any proportion.
[0020] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a method for preparing the aforementioned low-temperature oxygen candle oxygen-generating column, specifically comprising:
[0021] 1) The high thermal conductivity carbon-based nanomaterials in the specified proportion were incorporated into a chlorate-based oxygen-generating source and ball-milled to obtain a powdered pretreated oxygen-generating source with a particle size of less than 300 μm.
[0022] 2) The pretreated oxygen source, catalyst, and chlorine inhibitor are dry-mixed in a mixer until uniformly mixed according to the stated mass percentage, and then pressed into shape in a mold;
[0023] 3) After demolding, dry at 100-150℃ to obtain a density of 1.9-2.5 g / cm³.3 Oxygen-producing column.
[0024] Furthermore, the present invention preferably uses 10-15 T / cm 2 The pressure is used to press the uniformly mixed raw materials into shape in a mold.
[0025] Furthermore, the drying time is preferably 3-8 hours.
[0026] Graphene, carbon nanotubes, or nanographite, among other highly thermally conductive carbon-based nanomaterials, possess exceptionally strong thermal conductivity. This invention, by adding a small amount of such material to the raw material of the oxygen-generating propellant column, creates a favorable heat conduction path within the column. Even without metallic fuel, once the oxygen candle device begins its reaction, the thermal conductivity of the carbon-based nanomaterials allows the locally generated high temperatures to be uniformly transferred to the interior of the oxygen-generating propellant column within a short time, fully utilizing the initial heat to ensure a sustained and balanced reaction. Therefore, the oxygen-generating propellant column of this invention can still burn normally without any metallic fuel, achieving an oxygen production rate of over 99%, and maintaining a solid oxygen generator wall temperature below 130°C during combustion.
[0027] Meanwhile, since no metal fuel is used, the oxygen-generating propellant column of this invention has high safety, high reliability, low heat generation, stable oxygen release, and is not easy to extinguish. The residue after combustion is not easy to flow and avoids the formation of holes.
[0028] Another advantage of adding highly thermally conductive carbon-based nanomaterials to the oxygen-generating propellant of this invention is that it can reduce temperature differences through preheating even when the external ambient temperature drops to extremely low levels, ensuring complete combustion of the oxygen-generating propellant. Combustion experiments showed that after freezing the oxygen-generating propellant of this invention at -50°C for 24-48 hours, it could still stably and completely continue to burn and release oxygen in this low-temperature environment until the propellant was completely burned, thus improving safety and reliability.
[0029] More importantly, this invention further reduces the low-temperature operating temperature of the oxygen-generating propellant by first preparing a pretreated oxygen-generating source using chlorate-based oxygen-generating sources and highly thermally conductive carbon-based nanomaterials, and then pressing it with other raw materials. It can even still burn completely when the external ambient temperature drops to -55°C.
[0030] This invention discovers that by adding a small amount of highly thermally conductive carbon-based nanomaterials to the raw materials for preparing oxygen-generating oxygen candles, oxygen-generating oxygen candles can be obtained by dry pressing without the use of any binder. The preparation process is simple and safe, avoiding not only the complex process of wet pressing for preparing oxygen-generating cylinders, but also the problem of generating a certain amount of chlorine gas that may be caused by incomplete drying of wet-pressed cylinders.
[0031] This invention, by adding a small amount of highly thermally conductive carbon-based nanomaterials to the oxygen-generating propellant column, avoids the use of metal fuels while achieving the same oxygen release rate. This increases the proportion of chlorate-based oxygen-generating sources and the amount of oxygen released. With the same weight of oxygen-generating propellant column in a solid oxygen candle, it releases more oxygen, generates less heat, and is safer to use. Attached Figure Description
