Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic dust explosion suppression simulation technology, and more specifically, to a method for testing and analyzing the dynamics of organic dust explosion suppression based on a reactive force field. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of plastics, rubber, pharmaceuticals, and coatings, since raw materials and intermediate products are mostly combustible organic powders, a certain concentration of organic dust suspension or sediment is inevitably generated during transportation, crushing, and mixing. Once exposed to an ignition source, organic dust explosions are highly likely to occur, causing equipment damage, production interruptions, and even casualties. Compared to single-phase gaseous fuel explosions, organic dust explosions involve complex solid-gas multiphase heat and mass transfer processes, with high heat release intensity, long reaction chains, and the release of large amounts of toxic and harmful gases and ultrafine particles, making them far more dangerous. Therefore, the prevention and control of organic dust explosions, the development of highly efficient explosion suppressants, and the elucidation of their microscopic explosion suppression mechanisms and evolutionary characteristics have become urgent scientific challenges.

[0003] To reduce the losses caused by organic dust explosions and mitigate their harm to production equipment, infrastructure, the environment, and personnel, "explosion suppression" is often used as an effective method to protect overall equipment. However, the explosion flames and powerful shock waves generated by suppression inevitably cause secondary damage to the external environment. Given the characteristics of organic dust explosions and the resulting hazards, explosion suppression is an effective form of protection. This has significant practical implications for preventing industrial flammable medium explosions and provides high theoretical guidance for basic research in the field of explosion suppression / resistance.

[0004] Existing research largely relies on devices such as 20L explosion spheres and vertical explosion pipes to evaluate the macroscopic explosion suppression characteristics and performance of various explosion suppressants. However, macroscopic experimental methods are insufficient to reveal the kinetic mechanisms by which powder explosion suppressants inhibit organic dust explosions at the microscopic scale. Furthermore, traditional numerical simulations cannot describe the reaction pathways between explosion suppressants and organic dust, failing to accurately reflect the key action sites and reaction pathway evolution of the explosion suppressant during the suppression process. ReaxFF-MD (Reactive Force Field Molecular Dynamics) simulations can characterize molecular structure evolution, chemical bond breaking and formation, and reaction pathway maps at the atomic scale, while fully considering the influence of various external conditions such as temperature, pressure, and heating rate. To date, reactive force field simulations have been successfully applied to the reaction pathway analysis of pyrolysis combustion processes of hydrocarbons, coal, polymers, and metals. Combined with thermal analysis and physicochemical property analysis techniques to verify the rationality of simulation results, this provides a novel research method and theoretical support for the study of organic dust explosion suppression mechanisms and the prediction of explosion suppressant performance, which is of great significance for improving and developing the theory of dust explosion prevention and control.

[0005] Reaction molecular dynamics simulations can reveal the structural evolution and energy conversion laws of reaction systems at the atomic scale, elucidate the mechanisms of processes such as explosion, pyrolysis, flame retardation, and explosion suppression, effectively reduce research costs and time, overcome experimental limitations, and provide support for multi-scale mechanism research and optimization of control strategies.

[0006] Chinese invention patent application CN119360998A discloses a method for studying the mechanism of action of powder explosion suppressants based on molecular simulation. This method combines machine learning force fields with ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, utilizing tools such as ChemTraYzer and Chemkin to analyze pyrolysis trajectories, elementary reactions, and free radical evolution. It further employs DFT and TST calculations to reveal the suppression mechanism of powder explosion suppressants on gas-coal dust composite explosions. Chinese invention patent application CN115831241A discloses a method and system for predicting cellulose pyrolysis products based on deep learning. This method constructs and relaxes the cellulose molecular structure, generates training data using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, employs a multi-layer neural network for iterative training to obtain the deep learning potential function for cellulose pyrolysis, and predicts the types and structures of products in the molecular dynamics simulation.

[0007] Chinese invention patent application CN116759002A discloses a molecular dynamics-based method for simulating the reaction of nano-aluminothermic agents. This method obtains the microstructural evolution and dynamic characteristics of the explosion process of nano-aluminothermic agents by establishing an initial model, selecting a suitable reaction force field, and performing thermally induced self-sustaining reaction simulation after relaxation.

[0008] Chinese invention patent application CN114722736B discloses an optimization method for coal chemical looping gasification based on experiments and multi-scale simulations. This method uses coal as raw material, prepares an oxygen carrier, and conducts experiments in a tubular furnace reactor. Optimal operating parameters are determined through data analysis. The pyrolysis and gasification temperature results are verified using ReaxFF-MD, and kinetic parameters are obtained. The experimental results are then validated by combining CFD with flow, mass transfer, heat transfer, and kinetics.

[0009] Chinese invention patent application CN119294096A discloses a post-processing method for reaction force field simulation results. This method extracts molecules and reaction paths based on simulation results, constructs a directed graph with molecules as nodes and paths as edges, and generates a reaction network through hierarchical and numbered arrangement. This intuitively displays the chemical reaction process within the system, facilitating path analysis and understanding, and improving the efficiency and visualization level of reaction mechanism research.

[0010] However, the above-mentioned existing technologies still have the following shortcomings:

[0011] 1. Existing research lacks sufficient experimental verification, mostly relying on simulation and prediction, and lacks systematic data support, making it difficult to fully guarantee the accuracy and applicability of the results;

[0012] 2. The quantitative characterization of key active sites and reaction pathways of the knock suppressant is insufficient, making it difficult to achieve performance optimization design;

[0013] 3. The coupling between multi-scale simulation and experiment is not deep, and there is a lack of cross-scale verification and feedback mechanisms, which limits the transformation of theoretical results into engineering applications.

[0014] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a dynamic testing and analysis method for suppressing organic dust explosions based on a reactive force field. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dynamic testing and analysis method for suppressing organic dust explosions based on a reaction force field. This method enables multi-scale and multi-parameter analysis of the thermal decomposition, explosion reaction, and explosion evolution of organic dust under the action of powder explosion suppressants. The method simulates the dynamic evolution of the explosion reaction of organic dust by constructing a mixed reaction system of organic dust and explosion suppressant under periodic boundary conditions. By combining experimental characterization techniques (FTIR, XPS, NMR) with computational simulation tools (Materials Studio, Gaussian, LAMMPS), the method achieves accurate inversion of the explosion process at the molecular level. Furthermore, by utilizing a self-developed Python script and the open-source reaction trajectory analysis tool ChemTraYzer, the trajectory data generated during the reaction process was processed in depth to identify the chain explosion reaction path and the site of explosion suppression, extract the evolution of key products, elucidate the microscopic mechanism by which the explosion suppressant interrupts the free radical chain reaction, and verify the reliability of the simulation results from both thermogravimetric-infrared spectroscopy (TG-FTIR) and gas phase product types. This invention can systematically reveal the evolution law of organic dust explosion reaction under high temperature conditions and the microscopic suppression mechanism of explosion suppressant, providing theoretical support and simulation basis for the design optimization of explosion suppressant materials and the prevention and control of organic dust disasters.

[0016] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides the following technical solution: a dynamic testing and analysis method for suppressing organic dust explosions based on reactive force fields. This method systematically models and quantitatively studies the microscopic reaction behavior during organic dust explosions / suppression, based on characterization experiments, reactive force field molecular dynamics simulation technology, and data post-processing analysis methods. The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0017] Molecular structure information of organic dust and powder explosion suppressants was obtained by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

[0018] Three-dimensional molecular models of organic dust and explosion suppressants were created using software such as Material Studio and Ligpargen. Chemical position information was supplemented based on a materials database to complete the molecular configuration construction and optimization.

[0020] The molecular structures of organic dust and explosion suppressants were simplified. Molecular structures containing key chemical groups were selected and imported into Gaussian software. The bond angles and bond lengths marked in the structure were rigidly scanned using the b3lyp / 6-31g(d) basis set to obtain the relative energies corresponding to different bond angles and bond lengths.

[0021] The coordinate files corresponding to the calibrated bond angles and bond lengths are converted into the Data format supported by LAMMPS using a Python script. Simulation calculations are then performed under a pre-selected target reaction force field that can cover all atomic types in organic dust and powder explosion suppressant molecules to obtain the relative energies corresponding to different bond angles and bond lengths.

[0022] The relative energies obtained from the Gaussian scans were compared with those calculated from the reaction force field. The reaction force field with high bond energy matching and good accuracy of interatomic forces was selected as the calculation force field for subsequent simulations.

[0023] A model of an organic dust-suppressant mixed explosion system under periodic boundary conditions was constructed using the Amorphous Cell module in Material Studio and the Moltemplate software.

[0024] The formula for calculating the proportion of the anti-knock agent is as follows:

[0027] The formula for calculating the volume parameters of the simulated box under periodic boundary conditions is as follows:

[0028]

[0029] In the formula, To simulate the volume parameters of the box under periodic boundary conditions, The relative molecular mass of the reaction system is... The volume of the pyrolysis chamber. For system quality, is Avogadro's constant.

[0030] The reaction system model coordinate file was further exported and converted into a Data file format using the LAMMPS msi2lmp tool. Molecular dynamics simulation calculations were then performed based on the reaction force field.

[0031] Reaction force field simulation dynamically determines bonding relationships by calculating the bond order between arbitrary atomic pairs in real time, and expresses interatomic interactions based on bond order functions, thereby realizing the breaking and formation of chemical bonds. The relationship between bond order and atomic distance is as follows:

[0032]

[0033]

[0034] In the formula, The bond order between atoms The distance between atoms. For the balance bond length, Empirical parameters.

[0035] The total energy of the calculated system includes terms such as bond, bond angle, dihedral angle, conjugate, Coulomb, and van der Waals. The total energy is expressed as:

[0036]

[0037]

[0038] In the formula, For total energy, For bond energy, For the sake of being alone, For overcoordination energy correction term, For undermatched potential energy, For bond angle energy, This is a bond angle energy penalty term. It is the conjugate term of the three bodies. To correct energy, For triple bond correction items, For dihedral energy, This is a four-body conjugate term. For hydrogen bond energy, For van der Waals, It is coulomb energy.

[0039] The simulation calculation includes the following steps:

[0040] Energy minimization: By calculating the forces and energies between atoms, the gradient descent algorithm is used to minimize the energy of the organic dust-explosion suppressant model in the reaction system, thereby obtaining the stable configuration of the reaction system model;

[0041] Low-temperature relaxation: Further, the organic dust-explosion suppressant reaction system model was subjected to low-temperature relaxation treatment to obtain the optimized configuration of the reaction system model;

[0042] High-temperature calculations: Simulation calculations of the organic dust / organic dust-explosion suppressant reaction system under high-temperature conditions;

[0043] In the low-temperature relaxation and high-temperature calculation stages, the NVT (isothermal and isochoric) or NPT (isothermal and isobaric) control ensemble, Nose-Hoover or Berendson temperature control method can be selected according to the requirements.

[0044] A self-written Python script was used to extract the classification and quantity of decomposition species in organic dust and the organic dust-explosion suppressant reaction system;

[0045] The species are defined as: coke (C40+), tar (C12-C39), light tar (C5-C12), and light gases (C1-C4);

[0046] Furthermore, the decomposition rate and mass loss rate of organic dust during the reaction process were calculated, and the types and quantitative evolution of the main gaseous products were obtained.

[0047] Based on the reaction rate constant of reactant decomposition, the activation energy of the organic dust and organic dust-explosion suppressant reaction was solved using the Arrhenius equation.

[0048]

[0049] In the formula, For any given time, the amount of reactants is [value]. The initial amount of reactants, As the rate constant, For any given moment, This is the initial time.

[0050]

[0051] In the formula, As the rate constant, Pre-exponential factor, The activation energy of the reaction is expressed in J / mol. molar gas constant ( ), Thermodynamic temperature (K);

[0052] Thermogravimetric curves and gas type information of organic dust and its mixture with explosion suppressant were obtained by TG-FTIR coupled experiments.

[0053] The activation energy of the reaction was calculated based on thermogravimetric data and compared with the thermodynamic parameters extracted from the simulation. The accuracy of the simulation results was verified from both the composition of the pyrolysis gas and the kinetic parameters.

[0054] After verification, a series of simulation calculations were carried out under different simulated temperatures, simulated pressures, oxygen contents and the proportion of detonator added, to obtain the system coordinates, intermediate products and gaseous product state information recorded every 1000 steps;

[0055] Post-processing and calculations are performed on the simulation results, specifically including:

[0056] The evolution of the number of key explosion products and active free radicals during the statistical reaction process was studied. The product formation rate and final quantity were compared under different simulation conditions and under different doping ratios of the explosion suppressant, revealing the regulatory role of the explosion suppressant in the reaction process.

[0057] Using the open-source automated reaction path analysis toolkit ChemTraYzer, a detailed chain reaction network of organic dust / organic dust-explosion suppressant was constructed to depict the process from organic dust molecules to small molecules. By comparing the differences in the reaction network with and without the addition of explosion suppressant, high-frequency reaction types were extracted, the migration, exchange and destruction paths of free radicals in the reaction were tracked, the key nodes of the interaction of explosion suppressant were identified, and the explosion suppression kinetic mechanism was revealed.

[0058] By combining the visualization tool Ovito to dynamically render atomic trajectories and reaction hotspots during high-temperature reactions, the spatiotemporal action of the explosion suppressant is demonstrated, providing a comprehensive explanation of the explosion suppression kinetics mechanism of organic dust.

[0059] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0060] This invention can accurately simulate and quantify the evolution process of organic dust explosions at the molecular scale, as well as the microscopic explosion suppression mechanism of explosion suppressants. Compared with traditional macroscopic experimental methods, the method of this invention has the advantages of low simulation cost, wide applicability, and high accuracy in species decomposition tracking. It is especially suitable for the analysis of key intermediate products and free radical reaction pathways in complex dust systems.

After standardizing the energy unit scale, the relative energies of the two are compared (i.e., the minimum energy value among all energies in each group). The summary of the relative energy comparison is as follows: Figure 2 As shown;

[0096] The reaction process at high temperatures was studied, with a reaction system at 2600 K selected as the analysis object. The reaction process was divided into two stages (initial decomposition stage: polyethylene molecular bonds break to form smaller molecules and produce some gas; main reaction stage: continuous molecular decomposition and violent intermolecular reactions).
