Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fire extinguishing agent technology, and in particular to an environmentally friendly aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) is a high-efficiency foam extinguishing agent based on fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon surfactants. Its extinguishing mechanism is to reduce the surface tension of water and the interfacial tension between oil and water by fluorocarbon surfactants, driving the foam liquid to spread rapidly on the oil surface to form a dense water film. This water film not only isolates the fuel surface from oxygen but also cools the fuel surface and inhibits oil and gas volatilization, achieving a dual effect of "oxygen isolation and cooling". It can effectively extinguish fires of various non-water-soluble flammable liquids, including petroleum, diesel, aviation fuel, and transformer oil.
[0003] Traditional fire extinguishing fuel filters (AFFFs) primarily consist of two types of fluorocarbon surfactants: C8 perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS). These surfactants are characterized by high surface activity, strong stability, and hydrophobic and oleophobic properties, making them the best-performing surfactants to date. However, they are also among the most difficult organic pollutants to degrade, and due to their high toxicity, bioaccumulation, and environmental persistence, they have been listed as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) under the Stockholm Convention. To overcome environmental bottlenecks, some fluorocarbon surfactants developed based on short-chain technologies have become mainstream alternatives to PFOA and PFOS. Although short-chain fluorocarbon surfactants significantly reduce bioaccumulation and environmental hazards, their performance gradually declines as the fluorocarbon chain shortens, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve both environmental friendliness and fire extinguishing performance. Recent research has attempted to replace them with bio-based surfactants such as alkyl glycosides (APG) and betaine, but these methods suffer from poor film-forming properties and weak fire resistance.
[0004] Therefore, the development of environmentally friendly and efficient aqueous film-forming foam extinguishing agents remains an urgent need in the field of fire protection technology. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide an environmentally friendly aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent, its preparation method and application, so as to at least solve the environmental hazard problem of fluorocarbon surfactants in existing AFFFs, and achieve effective control and efficient extinguishing of fires.
[0006] The following is a summary of this disclosure to provide a basic understanding of some aspects. This summary is not intended to identify key or important elements, nor is it intended to limit the implementation or any aspects of the claims. Furthermore, this summary provides a simplified overview of some aspects that can be described in more detail in other parts of this disclosure.
[0007] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:
[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an environmentally friendly aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent, wherein the raw materials of the aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent include: compounded bio-based surfactants, compounded bio-based polyols, sodium benzoate and foam-stabilizing and anti-reignition nanocomposite agents; wherein the foam-stabilizing and anti-reignition nanocomposite agents include layered iron-aluminum-magnesium trimetallic hydroxide, nano-magnesium aluminum silicate and hydrophobic nano-silica aerogel.
[0009] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the raw materials of the aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent, by mass percentage, include: 10-15% of compounded bio-based surfactants, 8-12% of compounded bio-based polyols, 0.4-1.0% of foam-stabilizing and anti-reignition nanocomposite agents, 0.03-0.05% of sodium benzoate, and the balance being pure water.
[0010] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the compounded bio-based surfactant comprises, by mass percentage: 7-8% isooctyl glucoside, 2-4% rhamnolipid, and 1-3% sophorolipid.
[0011] The CAS number for isooctyl glucoside is 125590-73-0, and its chemical formula is C. 14 H 28 O6, possessing a high HLB value (13–15) and excellent surface activity, has short chains that tightly bind to water molecules via hydrogen bonds, forming a dense adsorption layer on the aqueous phase side of the interface. This significantly reduces the surface tension of water, promotes the rapid spreading of foam solutions, and facilitates the formation of a dense water film, effectively isolating oxygen. Rhamnose lipolipid has the CAS number 147858-26-2 and the molecular formula C2. 32 H 58 O 13 The two rhamnose groups in the molecule are linked by glycosidic bonds to form a rigid structure. Its long hydrophobic chain penetrates deep into the oil phase, tightly adsorbing oil molecules through hydrophobic interactions, reducing oil-water interfacial tension, increasing foaming ratio, and prolonging separation time. Its natural antibacterial activity inhibits microbial degradation of the foam structure, extending the shelf life and effectively reducing the amount of traditional preservatives used. Sophorolipid CAS number is 148409-20-5, and its molecular formula is C2. 34 H 56 O 14It is a lactone-type sophorolipid, composed of hydrophobic long-chain fatty acids linked to hydrophilic sophorose (a disaccharide) via glycosidic bonds. It interacts with both the aqueous and oil phases, exhibiting unique amphiphilic properties. Its ultra-low oil-water interfacial tension promotes oil emulsification into microdroplets, synergistically isolating oxygen and inhibiting combustion with the water film. Its antibacterial activity inhibits potentially proliferating microorganisms. When isooctyl glucoside, rhamnolipin, and sophorolipid are used in combination, the high hydrophilicity of isooctyl glucoside, the amphiphilicity of sophorolipid, and the high hydrophobicity of rhamnolipin complement each other structurally. Through directional adsorption at the interface, a gradient effect is generated, synergistically reducing surface tension, thereby shortening extinguishing time and enhancing anti-reignition performance.
[0012] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the compounded bio-based polyols, by mass percentage, comprise: 2-4% xylitol and 6-8% trehalose.
[0013] Xylitol has the CAS number 87-99-0 and the chemical formula C5H. 12 O5, trehalose, CAS 99-20-7, chemical formula C 12 H 22 O 11 The combination of these two ingredients exhibits significant synergistic advantages. Xylitol forms a hydrogen bond network through its five hydroxyl groups, working synergistically with the rigid glassy structure of trehalose to lower the freezing point to below -30°C, achieving stable foaming in low-temperature environments while inhibiting ice crystals from puncturing the foam film. Xylitol and trehalose complement the hydrophobic chains of rhamnolipids, enhancing emulsifying ability, while the glucose ring of isooctyl glucoside binds to the hydroxyl groups of trehalose, alleviating the problem of viscosity increase at low temperatures and maintaining foaming performance under low-temperature conditions. As natural polyols, rhamnolipids and trehalose also possess environmentally friendly and biodegradable properties. Through antifreeze synergy, functional complementarity, and environmental enhancement, they significantly improve the overall fire extinguishing performance of the fire extinguishing agent.
[0014] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some embodiments, the foam-stabilizing and anti-reignition nanocomposite agent comprises, by mass percentage: 0.2–0.4% of layered iron-aluminum-magnesium trimetallic hydroxide, 0.1–0.3% of nano-magnesium aluminum silicate, and 0.1–0.3% of hydrophobic nano-silica aerogel.
[0015] Layered iron-aluminum-magnesium trimetallic hydroxide is a layered inorganic nanomaterial prepared by a hydrothermal method using aluminum nitrate (Al(NO3)3·9H2O), magnesium nitrate (Mg(NO3)2·6H2O), and iron nitrate (Fe(NO3)3·9H2O) as raw materials. Its specific composition can be represented as: [Mg...] 2+ 1-x-y Al 3+ x Fe 3+ y (OH) - 2](x+y)+ [A n- ] (x+y) / n ·ZH2O, where A n- It is an n-valent anion, and x represents Al. 3+ The mole fraction, y represents Fe 3+ The mole fraction, 1-xy represents Mg 2+ The mole fraction of this layered iron-aluminum-magnesium trimetallic hydroxide can reduce the critical micelle concentration of compounded bio-based surfactants, significantly reduce the surface tension of aqueous film-forming foam solutions, and accelerate its spreading on fuel surfaces. Its nanosheets, interspersed within the foam liquid film, can enhance the mechanical strength of the liquid film, delay foam separation and rupture, extend the separation time by 25%, and improve foam stability. Upon thermal decomposition, it releases water of crystallization, CO2, and generates metal oxides (Al2O3, MgO, Fe2O3). CO2 and H2O can dilute combustible gases and O2, reducing the surface temperature of the combustible material; the metal oxides cover the fuel surface to form a porous carbon layer, blocking oxygen and heat conduction; Fe... 3 + It catalytically decomposes H· and OH· free radicals in the flame at high temperatures, inhibiting the gas-phase combustion chain reaction, thereby shortening the extinguishing time and enhancing the anti-reignition performance.
[0016] The CAS number of nano-magnesium aluminum silicate is 71205-22-6, and its chemical formula is Al2MgO8Si2. It can rapidly expand in water and form a three-dimensional network-like gel structure, which endows the system with excellent thixotropy and suspension stability. It can effectively prevent foam drainage and aggregation, prolong the foam coverage time, and ensure that the solid components, including layered iron-aluminum-magnesium trimetallic hydroxide and hydrophobic nano-silica aerogel, are uniformly suspended, preventing sedimentation and maintaining the stability of the fire extinguishing agent performance.
[0017] Hydrophobic nano-silica aerogel, CAS 68611-44-9, chemical formula C2H6Cl2O2Si2, possesses extremely high porosity, a large specific surface area, and extremely low thermal conductivity. It effectively blocks the transfer of flame heat to the depths of the foam layer and the fuel surface, protecting the foam structure. Its superhydrophobicity allows it to firmly adsorb at the gas-liquid interface of the foam, significantly enhancing the elasticity and mechanical strength of the liquid film. Its low density and nanoscale characteristics make it easy to disperse in the liquid phase and resistant to sedimentation. A combination of layered iron-aluminum-magnesium trimetallic hydroxide, nano-magnesium aluminum silicate, and hydrophobic nano-silica aerogel significantly improves the overall performance of the compounded bio-based surfactant through multiple synergistic mechanisms: nano-magnesium aluminum silicate acts as a bulk "skeleton," providing three-dimensional network support to ensure the suspension and stability of all components; the hydrophobic nano-silica aerogel acts as an interfacial "patch," enhancing the liquid film strength and thermal insulation; and the layered iron-aluminum-magnesium trimetallic hydroxide provides chemical flame retardancy and a high-temperature barrier, decomposing and absorbing heat to inhibit the combustion reaction. The three components work synergistically to provide comprehensive protection for the compounded bio-based surfactant, from physical foam stabilization and heat insulation to chemical flame retardancy. All components are non-toxic and harmless, meeting the requirements for fluorine-free environmental protection, and significantly improving the stability, anti-reignition ability, and environmental friendliness of aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agents.
[0018] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for preparing an environmentally friendly aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent, comprising the following steps:
[0019] Prepare the following raw materials by weight percentage: 10-15% compound bio-based surfactant, 8-12% compound bio-based polyol, 0.4-1.0% foam-stabilizing and anti-reignition nanocomposite agent, 0.03-0.05% sodium benzoate, and the balance being water; the foam-stabilizing and anti-reignition nanocomposite agent includes layered iron-aluminum-magnesium trimetallic hydroxide, nano-magnesium aluminum silicate, and hydrophobic nano-silica aerogel;
[0020] The compounded bio-based polyol was added to the compounded bio-based surfactant under stirring and stirred until homogeneous to obtain mixed solution one; the foam-stabilizing and anti-reignition nanocomposite agent was added to mixed solution one under stirring and stirred until homogeneous to obtain mixed solution two; sodium benzoate was fully dissolved in water to obtain sodium benzoate solution; the sodium benzoate solution was added to mixed solution two under stirring and stirred until homogeneous for 60-100 minutes to obtain aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent.
[0021] In conjunction with the second aspect, in some embodiments, the compounded bio-based surfactant comprises, by weight percentage of the total raw materials of the aqueous film-forming foam extinguishing agent, 7-8% isooctyl glucoside, 2-4% rhamnolipid and 1-3% sophorolipid; and the compounded bio-based polyol comprises 2-4% xylitol and 6-8% trehalose.
[0022] In conjunction with the second aspect, in some embodiments, the preparation method of the foam-stabilizing and anti-reignition nanocomposite agent is as follows:
[0023] Based on the total mass percentage of the raw materials for the aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent, the following raw materials are prepared: 0.2-0.4% of layered iron-aluminum-magnesium trimetallic hydroxide, 0.1-0.3% of nano-magnesium aluminum silicate, and 0.1-0.3% of hydrophobic nano-silica aerogel.
[0024] The layered iron-aluminum-magnesium trimetallic hydroxide was mixed with pure water and stirred at 7000-8500 rpm for 20-40 min in a high-shear dispersing emulsifier to obtain a nano-layered iron-aluminum-magnesium trimetallic hydroxide suspension.
[0025] The nano-magnesium aluminum silicate is mixed with pure water and stirred at 7000-8500 rpm for 20-40 min in a high-shear dispersing emulsifier to obtain a nano-magnesium aluminum silicate suspension.
[0026] The hydrophobic nano-silica aerogel was mixed with pure water and stirred at 7000-8500 rpm for 20-40 min in a high-shear dispersing emulsifier to obtain a hydrophobic nano-silica aerogel suspension.
[0027] The nanolayered iron-aluminum-magnesium trimetallic hydroxide suspension, the nano magnesium-aluminum silicate suspension, and the hydrophobic nano silica aerogel suspension were mixed and stirred at 7000-8500 rpm for 15-40 min, and then treated under ultrasound at a power of 500-600 W and a frequency of 80-120 kHz for 5-15 min to obtain a foam-stabilizing and anti-reignition nanocomposite agent.
[0028] In conjunction with the second aspect, in some embodiments, the preparation method of the layered iron-aluminum-magnesium trimetallic hydroxide includes the following steps:
[0029] According to Fe 3+ Al 3+ Mg 2+ The molar ratio of ferric nitrate, aluminum nitrate, and magnesium nitrate is 1:(2~3):(6~8). Ferric nitrate, aluminum nitrate, and magnesium nitrate are weighed and dissolved in pure water to obtain a mixed metal salt solution with a total metal concentration of 0.3~0.6mol / L. A sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 2~3mol / L is prepared. A carbonate mixed solution with pH = 10.0±0.1 is prepared by mixing 0.1mol / L Na2CO3 solution and 0.1mol / L NaHCO3 solution.
[0030] Under continuous stirring at 500–600 rpm, a mixed metal salt solution and a sodium hydroxide solution were slowly added dropwise to the carbonate mixture. The sodium hydroxide solution was added at a rate of 0.5–1 mL / min, and the pH value was maintained at 10.0 ± 0.1. After the addition was completed, the resulting mixed reaction solution was transferred to a high-pressure reactor, sealed, and reacted at 120℃ ± 5℃ for 8.5–11 h. After natural cooling to room temperature, the reaction solution was removed and centrifuged at 8000–10000 rpm for 25–40 min. Then, it was washed with pure water until the conductivity of the washing solution was <100 μS / cm. The precipitate was vacuum dried at 40–50℃ for 20–30 h, and then vacuum dried at 50–60℃ for 45–50 h to obtain layered iron-aluminum-magnesium trimetallic hydroxide powder.
[0031] Thirdly, the present invention also provides the application of the aqueous film-forming foam extinguishing agent described in the first aspect above, or the aqueous film-forming foam extinguishing agent prepared by the preparation method described in the second aspect above, in fire extinguishing applications, wherein the aqueous film-forming foam extinguishing agent is mixed with water at a volume ratio of 6:94 before use.
[0032] This invention relates to an environmentally friendly aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) fire extinguishing agent. Firstly, it combines three bio-based surfactants—isooctyl glucoside, rhamnolipid, and sophorolipid—to reduce interfacial tension and improve foam spreading speed, coverage uniformity, and stability. All three bio-based surfactants are derived from renewable resources and have good biodegradability, replacing fluorocarbon surfactants and fundamentally solving the ecological hazards caused by fluorocarbon surfactants in traditional AFFFs. Secondly, it combines two bio-based polyols—xylitol and trehalose—to bind water molecules through multiple hydrogen bonds, reducing water activity and inhibiting ice crystal formation. Their natural antibacterial properties help inhibit microbial growth during storage, reducing the amount of traditional preservatives required. The synergistic effect of xylitol and trehalose significantly improves the antifreeze properties and stability of the bio-based surfactants, further enhancing the environmental friendliness and safety of the AFFF. On the other hand, the environmentally friendly aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent of the present invention introduces a foam-stabilizing and anti-reignition nanocomposite agent. Through the synergistic effect of layered iron-aluminum-magnesium trimetallic hydroxide, nano magnesium aluminum silicate, and hydrophobic nano silica aerogel, the overall performance of the compounded bio-based surfactant is comprehensively improved from physical foam stabilization and heat insulation to chemical flame retardancy. This solves the bottleneck problems of poor film-forming properties and weak fire resistance that are common in bio-based surfactants. Moreover, all components are non-toxic and harmless, which significantly improves the stability, anti-reignition ability, and environmental friendliness of the aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent.
[0033] The environmentally friendly aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agent of this invention uses easily biodegradable bio-based surfactants as core components. By compounding bio-based polyols and foam-stabilizing and anti-reignition nanocomposite agents, it achieves effective fire control and efficient fire extinguishing while avoiding the biological risks and environmental problems caused by traditional aqueous film-forming foam fire extinguishing agents, providing an efficient and safe alternative to fire extinguishing agents for the fire protection field.
