BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

The present invention belongs to the field of fire extinguishing technique, and relates to an extinguishing agent, and more particularly, to a plant type active antiflaming extinguishant comprising a plurality of plants, fruit extracts and plant slag water as main components, and a process and application thereof.


2. Description of the Related Art

Shocking fire poses a serious threat to the people's life and property safety. And fire extinguishing agent plays a key role in controlling the fire loss. Four drawbacks of the existing extinguishing agent are as follows: firstly, the extinguishing agent (e.g. halon extinguishing agent) is prohibited due to its impact on the human environment, causing environmental pollution; secondly, extinguishing efficiency is less satisfactory than the actual effect; thirdly, extinguishing range is limited, wherein it has a poor effect on extinguishing fire arising from polar solvent, liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas; last but not least, the treatment of post extinguishment and expired product will bring great harm to land and water sources.


Patent No. CN1341469A discloses a plant type composite flame retardant active agent, which is diluted with water and made into an extinguishing agent, and then filled into portable fire extinguisher for extinguishing fire of Class A, Class B, Class C, however, it has been found in later practice that the extinguishing agent has good effect in extinguishing a small range of fire with its area less than 2A or 10B, while in larger area of fire, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results.


In addition, Patent No. CN1005719C discloses a plant active flame retardant extinguishing agent, which comprises plant composite flame retardant active agent and active water made from grain stillage and plant ash through water leaching, wherein the grain stillage having dry basis of 12-20 parts, plant ash has 3-5 parts, and water is added to the total weight, amounting to 100 parts; the weight ratio of the plant composite flame retardant active agent and the active water is 10-25; 75-90 respectively; its main technical scheme is to perform compounding processing on the active water made through the leaching processing of grain stillage and plant ash and plant composite flame retardant active agent, to produce a plant active flame retardant extinguishing agent. However, with the continuous improvement of fire protection technology, the requirement of performance on the large-scale fire extinguishing agent has become increasingly higher, and in practical applications, it has been found that the durability of this plant active flame fire retardant extinguishing agent cannot meet the requirements of achieving fire extinguishment in a fast, high-speed and environment-friendly way, therefore, the property of fire suppression needs to be improved further.

A new type of plant active antiflaming extinguishant provided by the present invention can fully implement the rescue for fire Class of A, B and C to achieve a rapid, high-efficient and environment-friendly fire fighting. The mechanism of the modified fire extinguishment is as follows:


1. Changing the Physical Nature of the Combustion Material


When the plant type antiflaming extinguishant is mixed with a combustion material, its own fire fighting energy can quickly modify the combustion material, while modifying the combustion material, plant type flame retardant extinguishing substances (e.g. alkaloids, phosphate, potassium), surface active substances (e.g. vegetable protein, fatty acid, polysaccharide, saponin, dissolved oil), film active substances (e.g. pectin, gum, phosphate, cellulose), modified reduction substances (compounds rich in tannin polyphenols, lignin, cellulose) and other substances are dissolved in the combustion material, such that it changes its flammability and becomes a flame retardant, non-combustible substance, playing a role in changing the property of a combustion material, forcing the combustion material to stop burning.


2. Rapid Cooling


Plant type antiflaming extinguishant comprises a plurality of components containing fast heat absorbing and anti-burning substances. The specific heat of water is 1 cal/g, when IL of water is gasified through evaporation, the substance needs to absorb 539 Kcal of heat, the volume is expanded by 1720 times, while fast heat-absorbing substance of the plant type antiflaming extinguishant, when IL liquid containing 10% of the heat-absorbing substance is gasified through evaporation, it needs to absorb 3290 Kcal of heat, the volume is 6 times bigger than water, then the mixed vapor of the fire extinguishing agent accounts for 50-70-90% of the combustion space, forcing the combustion to stop burning.


3. Achieving Flame Retardancy Through Dilution


Modified flame retardant substance of the plant type antiflaming extinguishant is easily soluble in water, so as for water-soluble flammable substance, it has three effects on diluting, modifying the substance, and making it flame retardant at a time. The flame can be extinguished automatically when the supply intensity of the fire extinguishing agent satisfies the flammable concentration of the diluted, flame retardant, and modified combustion substance or when the combustion intensity of the fire extinguishing agent falls below the limit of maintaining combustion.


4. Film Sealing


Because in a plant type antiflaming extinguishant, all the modified substances and film substances are sensitive to the temperature, and easy to agglomerate into a film, and it can also form different films (net film, foam film, film, burnt film, aqueous film and composite film) and the different films covers the surface of the combustion substance, acts as a barrier to oxygen and heat, thereby enclosing the combustible gas, cutting off the heat transfer, and finally forcing the combustion material to stop burning.


5. Anti-Burning and Environmental Protection Property


Since the clove, the corn cob, the lemon peel, the eggplant and the sugar beet pulp used in the plant type active antiflaming extinguishant comprise adsorbents, such as polyhydric phenolic compounds such as tannin, pectin, limonene, unsaturated organic acid, lignin, cellulose, humic acid, which not only adsorb heavy metal pollution, but also dissolve sewer and river bed oil pollution, and it can effectively ease the treatment of post extinguishment and treatment related to the expired product, thus providing effective help to the pollution control of the earth and river bed.


The plant type active antiflaming extinguishant provided by the present invention adopts the above 1-5 functions to coordinate and interact with one another, to obtain a stronger extinguishing function and an ideal extinguishing effect; in particular, the inventive plant type active antiflaming extinguishant uses plant anti-burning agent, plant slag ash agent and plant composite flame retardant active agent for compounding, adding plant protein of different sources, fire-fighting substances, anti-burning substances, colloidal substances, modified substances, corrosion-resistant substances, all of which play a great role in extinguishing fire and increasing anti-burning efficiency. In addition, when it comes to the sealing performance and the extremely strong fire extinguishing power produced by the fire extinguishing agent of the invention, the existing fire extinguishing agent is not as good as the fire extinguishing agent provided in the present invention, which has been confirmed from the experiment on 502 m oil pool and 50003 m oil tank.


Compared with the prior art, the foregoing technical scheme according to the present invention has the following effects:


The plant type active antiflaming extinguishant provided by the present invention has good performance in terms of fire extinguishment result and environmental protection effect, which are beyond the reach of the existing fire extinguishing agent. Further, raw material is easy to get and its price is low, and manufacturing process and required equipment are easy to access, and therefore, the cost is low, specifically, its cost is half the price of the AFFF fire extinguishing agent, but its modified fire-extinguishing effect is ⅓ higher than that of the AFFF extinguishing agent. Moreover, it is easy to use, applicable for a portable fire extinguisher, a foam gun, a fire engine, or is used with a large scale fire-fighting equipment, applicable for large area of fire extinguishment concerning Class A, B and C.
