Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of foam fire extinguishing agent technology, specifically to a high-efficiency and environmentally friendly foam fire extinguishing agent for converter stations or substations and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Foam extinguishing agents are widely used to extinguish fires involving flammable liquids (such as oils and solvents). Traditional fluorinated surfactants (such as PFOS and PFOA) were once widely used in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) extinguishing agents due to their excellent film-forming properties, foam stability, and oil resistance. However, fluorinated surfactants have extremely strong chemical stability, are difficult to degrade in the environment, and can accumulate in organisms, posing potential risks to human health and ecosystems. Therefore, with the advancement of international regulations such as the Stockholm Convention, their use has been gradually banned or restricted globally, and the development of efficient and environmentally friendly alternative technologies has become an urgent need for industry development.
[0003] Trisiloxane organosilicon surfactants possess excellent surface activity, wettability, and spreadability, making them a core component in the construction of fluorine-free foam fire extinguishing agents. However, existing trisiloxane surfactants exhibit decreased stability and surface activity in high-salt environments (such as seawater and high-hardness water), leading to a significant reduction in the stability of the foam fire extinguishing agent, affecting fire extinguishing efficiency, and making it difficult to meet the application requirements in extreme environments. This limits their use in converter stations or substations. Summary of the Invention

[0109] The physical appearance of the solutions of the tetrasiloxane surfactants synthesized in Examples 1-3 above at the critical micelle concentration is shown in the following figures. Figure 1 As shown, the tetrasiloxane surfactant solutions obtained in Examples 1-3 have a uniform overall texture and good dispersibility in water.
[0110] The properties of the tetrasiloxane surfactants synthesized in Examples 1-3 above were tested. Specifically, the surface tension of the surfactant at the critical micelle concentration was measured using a QBZY-3 fully automatic surface tension meter at 25°C. The synthesis yield was then calculated. The specific results are shown in Table 1 below. Figure 2 As shown:
[0111] Table 1. Performance test results of tetrasiloxane surfactants
[0112]
[0113] CoatOsil-77 is a commercial trisiloxane surfactant.
[0114] From Table 1 above and Figure 2 This invention provides a tetrasiloxane surfactant product with high surface activity and a method for synthesizing a tetrasiloxane surfactant with high yield. Compared with trisiloxane surfactants, the tetrasiloxane surfactant synthesized in this invention has higher surface activity. Specific experimental results show that the surface tension of this tetrasiloxane surfactant is 20.4-20.8 mN / m; the synthesis yield is 76%-81%.
[0115] Application examples:
[0116] Based on the tetrasiloxane surfactant prepared in Example 1 above, a high-efficiency and environmentally friendly foam fire extinguishing agent is constructed. The formulation is as follows: 15%-20% tetrasiloxane surfactant, 10%-15% trisiloxane surfactant, 1%-1.3% foam stabilizer, 0.5%-0.8% preservative, 0.3%-0.5% chelating agent, 1%-2% cosolvent, and the balance being water.
[0117] According to standard GB 15308-2006 "Foam Extinguishing Agents", the effects of changes in the concentrations of tetrasiloxane surfactant, trisiloxane surfactant, and foam stabilizer on the diffusion coefficient, expansion ratio, 25% separation time, extinguishing time, and anti-burning time of the high-efficiency and environmentally friendly foam extinguishing agent formulation were tested. The tetrasiloxane surfactant was the one prepared in Example 1, the trisiloxane surfactant was CoatOsil-77, the foam stabilizer was xanthan gum, the preservative was potassium sorbate, the chelating agent was dipotassium EDTA, and the co-solvent was ethylenediamine.
[0118] The formulation of a high-efficiency, environmentally friendly foam fire extinguishing agent with fixed mass concentrations of substances other than the tetrasiloxane surfactant is as follows (by mass percentage): 10%-25% tetrasiloxane surfactant, 12.5% trisiloxane surfactant, 1.2% foam stabilizer, 0.8% preservative, 0.5% chelating agent, 2% co-solvent, and the balance being water. The performance of this high-efficiency, environmentally friendly foam fire extinguishing agent was tested based on this formulation at different concentrations of tetrasiloxane surfactant. Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, when the concentration of tetrasiloxane surfactant is below 15%, the foam extinguishing agent has a high expansion ratio and diffusion coefficient, but its 25% exudation time and anti-burning time are relatively short, while its extinguishing time is relatively long. When the concentration of tetrasiloxane surfactant is above 20%, the foam extinguishing agent has a high expansion ratio and diffusion coefficient, but its extinguishing time is relatively short, while its 25% exudation time and anti-burning time are also short. When the concentration of tetrasiloxane surfactant is between 15% and 20%, the foam extinguishing agent has a high expansion ratio and diffusion coefficient, a relatively long 25% exudation time and anti-burning time, and a relatively short extinguishing time; at this point, the overall performance of the high-efficiency and environmentally friendly foam extinguishing agent is optimal. Therefore, the optimal concentration range for tetrasiloxane surfactant is 15%-20%.
[0119] The formulation of a high-efficiency, environmentally friendly foam fire extinguishing agent with fixed mass concentrations of substances other than the trisiloxane surfactant is as follows (by mass percentage): 17.5% tetrasiloxane surfactant, 5%-20% trisiloxane surfactant, 1.2% foam stabilizer, 0.8% preservative, 0.5% chelating agent, 2% co-solvent, and the balance being water. Based on this formulation, the performance of the high-efficiency, environmentally friendly water foam fire extinguishing agent at different concentrations of trisiloxane surfactant was tested. Figure 4 As shown, when the concentration of trisiloxane surfactant is below 10% or above 15%, the foam extinguishing agent has a large expansion ratio and diffusion coefficient, but its 25% exudation time and anti-burning time are relatively short, while its extinguishing time is relatively long. When the concentration of trisiloxane surfactant is between 10% and 15%, the foam extinguishing agent has a large expansion ratio and diffusion coefficient, a relatively long 25% exudation time and anti-burning time, and a relatively short extinguishing time. At this concentration, the overall performance of the high-efficiency and environmentally friendly foam extinguishing agent is optimal. Therefore, the optimal concentration range for trisiloxane surfactant is 10%-15%.
[0120] The formulation of a high-efficiency, environmentally friendly foam fire extinguishing agent with fixed mass concentrations of all substances except the foam stabilizer is as follows (by mass percentage): 17.5% tetrasiloxane surfactant, 12.5% trisiloxane surfactant, 0.4%-1.9% foam stabilizer, 0.8% preservative, 0.5% chelating agent, 2% co-solvent, and the balance being water. Based on this formulation, the performance of the high-efficiency, environmentally friendly foam fire extinguishing agent at different foam stabilizer concentrations was tested, such as... Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, when the foam stabilizer concentration is below 1%, the foam extinguishing agent has a larger expansion ratio and diffusion coefficient, but its 25% exudation time and anti-burning time are shorter, while its extinguishing time is longer. When the foam stabilizer concentration is above 1.3%, the foam extinguishing agent has a larger diffusion coefficient, but its expansion ratio is lower, its 25% exudation time and anti-burning time are shorter, while its extinguishing time is longer. When the foam stabilizer concentration is between 1% and 1.3%, the foam extinguishing agent has a larger expansion ratio and diffusion coefficient, a longer 25% exudation time and anti-burning time, and a shorter extinguishing time. At this concentration, the high-efficiency and environmentally friendly foam extinguishing agent exhibits the best overall performance. Therefore, the optimal concentration range for the foam stabilizer is 1%-1.3%.
[0121] Therefore, based on this highly efficient and environmentally friendly foam fire extinguishing agent formula and Figure 3-5 The test results are shown in Examples 4-7 below:

Figure 6 As shown in the figure, after the stock solution was left to stand for 180 days, its appearance remained basically unchanged; it was still a homogeneous liquid with no obvious stratification or precipitation, indicating that the stock solution had good stability.

[0128] Example 6
[0129] Same as Example 4, except that the amount of tetrasiloxane surfactant used is changed from 20g to 15g, and the amount of deionized water added in step ⑥ is changed from 15.4g to 20.4g.
[0130] Example 7
[0131] Same as Example 5, except that the amount of trisiloxane surfactant used is changed from 10g to 15g, and the amount of deionized water added in step 6 is changed from 32.2g to 27.2g.
[0132] Comparative Example 1
[0133] Same as Example 4, except that the tetrasiloxane surfactant is removed and the amount of deionized water added in step 6 is changed from 15.4g to 35.4g.
[0134] Comparative Example 2
[0135] Same as Example 5, except that the tetrasiloxane surfactant is replaced with the hydrocarbon surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate.
[0136] Comparative Example 3
[0137] Same as Example 4, except that the tetrasiloxane surfactant is replaced with the trisiloxane surfactant COATOSIL-MP200.
[0138] Comparative Example 4
[0139] Same as Example 6, except that the amount of tetrasiloxane surfactant used is changed from 15g to 1g, and the amount of deionized water added in step ⑥ is changed from 20.4g to 34.4g.
[0140] Comparative Example 5
[0141] Same as Example 7, except that the amount of tetrasiloxane surfactant used is changed from 15g to 1g, and the amount of deionized water added in step ⑥ is changed from 27.2g to 41.2g.
[0142] Comparative Example 6
[0143] ① Weigh out 15g of the tetrasiloxane surfactant prepared in Example 1, 10g of the trisiloxane surfactant CoatOsil-77, 1g of guar gum, 0.5g of sodium benzoate, 0.3g of dipotassium EDTA, and 1g of ethylenediamine, respectively; ② Weigh out 40g of deionized water, and add 15g of the tetrasiloxane surfactant and 10g of the trisiloxane surfactant CoatOsil-77 sequentially, stirring at 1000r / min for 10min; ③ Add 1g of guar gum to the surfactant solution obtained in ②, stirring at 1000r / min for 10min; ④ Add 1g of ethylenediamine to the solution obtained in ③, stirring at 1500r / min for 60min; ⑤ Add 0.3g of dipotassium EDTA and 0.5g of sodium benzoate sequentially to the solution obtained in ④, and add 32.2g of deionized water, stirring at 2000r / min for 30min to obtain the target foam extinguishing agent stock solution, as follows. Figure 7 As shown. Compared with Example 5, the difference in this comparative process is that: 1g of guar gum and 1g of ethylenediamine are added separately without prior grinding and stirring; the order of adding 1g of ethylenediamine is changed, and it is added separately; the order of adding 0.3g of dipotassium EDTA is changed from step ③ to step ⑤. Figure 7 It can be seen that the stock solution was generally homogeneous and stable at day 0. After 25 days, the stock solution began to show uneven stratification, with the upper part being slightly transparent and the lower part remaining milky white and viscous. After 50 days, the stock solution clearly separated into layers, with the upper layer being a pale yellow liquid (occupying about 1 / 3 of the bottle) and the lower layer being a viscous liquid, with a clear interface. This indicates that the foam fire extinguishing agent sample prepared by this process has poor stability and a short shelf life.
[0144] Based on the high-efficiency and environmentally friendly foam extinguishing agent concentrate described in Examples 4-7 and Comparative Examples 1-5, a 3% foam extinguishing agent solution was obtained by diluting it at a volume ratio of concentrate:water = 3:97. Based on the characteristics of fires involving large oil-filled equipment in converter stations (substations) and existing mainstream foam extinguishing systems, a 4.52m... 2A transformer oil pool fire source model was used (the size of the oil pool and the experimental procedures were based on standard GB 27897-2011 "Class A Foam Extinguishing Agents"). The initial temperature of the transformer oil was controlled at 150±5℃. Using a positive pressure foaming system (based on standard GB 27897-2011 "Class A Foam Extinguishing Agents"), the foaming ratio, 25% liquid separation time, extinguishing time, and anti-burning time of the foam extinguishing agent were tested. Simultaneously, the film-forming performance of the foam extinguishing agent solution on the transformer oil surface was tested. The specific test method was as follows: ① The apparatus included a miniature injection pump, an oil pan (15cm in diameter), and a high-speed camera; ② 50mL of transformer oil was placed in the oil pan, and the needle of the miniature injection pump was positioned 2cm directly above the center of the oil pan; ③ At 25℃, the foam solution was dripped onto the oil surface at a rate of 12μL / drop using the miniature injection pump, and the spreading process of the foam solution was recorded using the camera. The video data was processed by frame extraction to obtain the maximum spreading area and the time to reach the maximum area. The film-forming speed was calculated by dividing the maximum spreading area by the time to reach the maximum area. The extinguishing agent performance of Examples 4-7 and Comparative Examples 1-5 was measured using the above method, with commercially available 3% AFFF as a comparison. The test results are shown in Table 2 below. Figure 8-11 As shown:
[0145] Table 2 Performance test results of foam extinguishing agents
[0146]
[0147] From Table 2 and Figure 8-11 It can be seen that the high-efficiency and environmentally friendly foam fire extinguishing agent in Examples 4-7 has a shorter extinguishing time and a faster film-forming speed compared to Comparative Examples 1-5; and compared to 3% AFFF, it has a shorter extinguishing time, a higher foaming ratio, and a longer 25% separation time. Therefore, the high-efficiency and environmentally friendly foam fire extinguishing agent of the present invention has excellent foaming performance, stability, fire extinguishing performance, and film-forming properties. Experimental results show that the foam fire extinguishing agent has a foaming ratio of 8-9 times; a 25% separation time of 11-15 min; an extinguishing time of 58-95 s; a fire resistance time of 10 min 25 s-14 min 39 s; and a film-forming speed of 1.6-2 cm. 2 / s.
