Plant-Based Fire Extinguishing Agent for Pollution Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing fire extinguishing agents face issues such as environmental pollution, limited extinguishing range, poor performance on polar solvent and natural gas fires, and inadequate post-extinguishment treatment, necessitating a more effective and environmentally friendly solution for large-scale fire suppression.
Innovation Solution
A plant-based active antiflaming extinguishant comprising a plant anti-burning agent, plant composite flame retardant active agent, and plant slag water, which includes clove, corncob, lemon peel, eggplant, sugar beet pulp, and plant slag ash, modifying combustion materials to stop burning through physical changes, rapid cooling, dilution, and film sealing, while also addressing environmental pollution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional fire extinguishing agents (e.g., halon) are used, then fire extinguishing effect is achieved, but environmental pollution occurs and the agent is prohibited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of fire extinguishing agents from traditional halon compounds to plant-based extracts, maintaining fire suppression effectiveness while eliminating environmental harm. Specific plant extracts and their combinations are optimized to achieve the desired fire extinguishing performance without depleting ozone or causing pollution.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses composite formulations combining multiple plant extracts (such as corn cob, eggplant, sugar beet pulp, clove, and lemon peel) to create a synergistic fire extinguishing agent. This composite approach allows the agent to maintain reliable fire suppression across different fire classes while being environmentally benign.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If existing plant-based extinguishing agents are used, then environmental friendliness is improved, but extinguishing efficiency and range are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple plant extracts with different fire suppression mechanisms into a single comprehensive agent. By combining corn cob extract (cooling effect), eggplant extract (film-forming), sugar beet pulp (dilution), clove (chemical inhibition), and lemon peel (foam stabilization), the agent achieves broad-spectrum effectiveness across Class A, B, and C fires while maintaining environmental friendliness.
3Reliability
If conventional extinguishing agents are used, then fire suppression is achieved, but post-extinguishment treatment causes harm to land and water sources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts potentially harmful combustion byproducts into beneficial substances through the action of plant extracts. The extracts contain natural compounds that neutralize toxic gases, break down hydrocarbon residues, and transform harmful ash into nutrient-rich material suitable for land restoration, thereby converting fire hazards into environmental benefits.
