The invention relates to a method for evaluating a
flame retardant for inhibiting
asphalt thermal
cracking to generate volatile organic compounds, belongs to the technical field of
asphalt material
fire safety, and solves the problems that
asphalt smoke is difficult to collect by adopting other
volatile organic compound analysis methods, and other asphalt
flame retardancy evaluation methods cannotspecifically evaluate the
volatile organic compound inhibition effect of a
flame retardant on asphalt
pyrolysis. The method comprises the following steps: weighing asphalt and a flame-retardant modified asphalt sample, putting the weighed asphalt and flame-retardant modified asphalt sample into a
tube furnace cracker for
cracking, and setting the
cracking temperature to be 550 DEG C, the crackerpressure to be 12psi and the cracking time to be 28s; setting programmed heating, starting from 40 DEG C, keeping the temperature for 5 minutes, heating to 270 DEG C at a speed of 5 DEG C / min, and keeping the temperature for 5 minutes; then, guiding
pyrolysis fragments into an efficient
capillary column to be separated, adopting carrier gas
helium, setting the column head pressure to be 7 psi, andthe split ratio to be 25: 1; and finally, obtaining a cracking chromatogram of the thermal cracking
volatile organic compound, and obtaining the name and kurtosis value of each substance through contrastive analysis of a
mass spectrum
library, so as to realize qualitative and quantitative contrastive analysis of the asphalt and the flame-retardant modified asphalt thermal cracking volatile
organic compound.
