Synergistic fire-retardancy properties of melamine coated ammonium poly(phosphate) in combination with rod-like mineral filler attapulgite for polymer-modified bitumen roofing membranes

A novel intumescent (carbonization, acid donor and foaming) fire retardant that mimics carbon nanotubes was introduced into bitumen roofing and characterized using cone calorimetry as the main analytical tool. The experimental results indicate that 18% (by mass) attapulgite mineral (ATTP) mixed with base bitumen decreased the peak heat release rate per unit area (pHRRPUA) by 10%. Further, incorporation of melamine coated ammonium polyphosphate (MAPP) decreased the pHRRPUA by 52% and a mixture of these (3:1, ATTP:MAPP) decreased the pHRRPUA by 25% as compared to adding CaCO₃ as a filler. The residual mass loss after the cone test was also improved with up to 3%. The indication of a positive synergistic flame retardant effect of the ATTP-MAPP mixture is supported by thermogravimetric analysis. The addition of this rod-like mineral improved the general fire retardant properties of the base bitumen and increased the viscosity. Therefore, the polymer-modified bitumen with both fire retardant and rheological properties (providing mechanical strength) is a promising novel approach in the design of bitumen roofing membranes.

Post-fire behavior of CFRP retrofitted thin-walled steel tanks

Thin-walled shell structures are characterized by a lightweight structural form with high strength. This structure has many applications in various engineering fields and is considered to be a basic tool in the modern industry. This study investigates the effect of CFRP on tanks after post-fire in order to examine the buckling and post-buckling of the cylindrical tanks. Herein, post-fire was introduced at different temperatures (150°C-600°C). Ten laboratory specimens in two groups with verified temperatures, under external pressure, are examined. The models were designed to demonstrate how repairing steel tanks, which are damaged by fire, by using carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer can recover lost capacity. The results of testing under different theories and codes were compared. This study shows that the initial buckling load of the temperature group increased by 30.82% to 57.09% compared to the temperature without-CFRP group. The overall buckling load of the temperature group increased by 37.01% to 67.74% compared to the temperature without-CFRP group. The collapse load of the temperature group increased by 27.04% to 52.64% compared to the temperature without-CFRP group. And using carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer on models, which are damaged by fire, can be an improvement behavior for the buckling and post-buckling specimen tests.     

Investigation of the thermal behavior effect of the surrounding material environment on the swirling flame structure

This paper is focusing on the numerical simulation of a swirling flame, resulting from the interaction of multiple fires, evolving in a free and unlimited environment. A typical system, formed by a central fire source surrounded by four heat sources, is used. Since the thermal characteristic of the surrounding sources is the main engine for the rotation of flame, a detailed study is performed by varying the heating flux of these sources. This study shows that an increase of the heating flux of surrounding sources has as a result an intensification of the penetrating air puffs through the openings between the surrounding four heat sources. These puffs tangentially drive the central flame, thus producing a marked improvement on the angular momentum. Moreover, this study shows that the flame height is strongly affected by the flame rotation. Moreover, two different aspects of the flame height evolution are observed from the flow visualization and the thermal and dynamic fields for the different cases studied.     

Maximum temperature rise of fire plume ejected out of the compartment window with a horizontal eave

This study focuses on the maximum temperature rise of fire plume ejected out of the compartment window with a horizontal eave. Based on the symmetry of ejected plume and pictures recorded by the cameras in the study, the shape of ejected thermal plume out of the window under the eave is suggest as an isosceles trapezoid, and the ejected thermal plume rising at the edge of the eave is assumed to be a rectangular fire source. The dimensions of the rectangular fire source are theoretically deduced for compartment fire process of different window geometry, width of eave, and heat release rate, according to the conservation of plume mass. The previous predictive model for plume temperature proposed by Quintiere is popularized to the ejected flame above an eave by including the dimensions of the rectangular fire source as well as the width of eave. The results would provide theoretical guidance to the application of fireproof eave in high-rise building for fire protection designs.     

Effect of shielding rates on upward flame spread over extruded polystyrene foam in vertical channel and heat transfer mechanism

Fire hazard of extruded polystyrene (XPS) thermal insulation materials has aroused public concern. In order to develop flame spread theory and the guideline for fire risk assessment of XPS, an experimental study on upward flame spread behavior and heat transfer mechanism of XPS in a vertical channel with different frontal shielding rates was conducted. Maximum temperature at the place 2 cm from XPS surface and at the center of channel first increase and then decrease as the shielding rate rises. The former is higher than the latter. Experimental value of average flame height rises as the shielding rate increases. A model for predicting the flame height is built, and the predicted results are consistent with the experimental results. Moreover, the relation between flame height and pyrolysis height under different shielding rates is obtained. The flame spread rate rises as the shielding rate increases. A prediction model of flame spread rate is established, and its prediction results are more accurate compared with those from previous models. The model also predicts that radiative heat transfer is the dominant heat transfer mode, accounting for 93% of the total heat transfer. This work is beneficial for fire risk assessment and fire safety design of building façade.     

Removal of zirconium from spent fuel solution by alginate gel polymer

The uptake behaviour of zirconium (Zr) in alginate gel polymer and removal of Zr from spent fuel solution have been studied by the batch and column methods. As a first step, alginate gel polymer was synthesized and conditioned. The uptakes of Zr were examined in several concentrations of HNO₃ solution (from 0.01 M to 9 M HNO₃) by a batch method. Stronger affinity of Zr was shown than strontium (Sr), cobalt (Co), uranium (U) and iron (Fe) in 1 M HNO₃. It has been reported that cation binding was stronger with ions of higher charge in the alginate gel polymer. In contrast, the free aqueous ion, Zr⁴⁺, is the dominant form of the Zr species in very acidic solution. Therefore, the strong affinity of Zr is explained. The uptake rate of Zr was also evaluated in 2.6 M HNO₃ solution, which was close to the HNO₃ concentration in actual HLLW from fuel reprocessing. The uptake of Zr reached equilibrium within 2 h. For the column experiment, fission products (FPs) solution containing rare earth elements (REEs), platinum group metals, alkaline metals, alkaline earth metals and the other elements was prepared from actual spent fuel and the concentration of HNO₃ was adjusted to 2.6 M. In the column experiment, the alginate gel polymer was packed into a column, and then a chromatographic experiment was performed using the FPs solution prepared from actual spent fuel. As a result, over 95% of the Zr was removed from the FPs solution. Molybdenum (Mo), technetium (Tc), yttrium (Y), palladium (Pd), tellurium (Te), cesium (Cs) and REEs were eluted by the successive use of H₂O, and 1 M and 3 M HNO₃.     

Functionalized polythiophenes: Recognition materials for chemosensors and biosensors of superior sensitivity,selectivity, and detectability

Recent progress in derivatized polythiophenes (PTs) and polymerized thiophene derivatives is reviewed, with emphasis on applications that involve devising and fabricating selective and sensitive chemo- and biosensors. The literature results summarized show that appreciable selectivity is attained if derivatized polythiophene films are used as recognition units. Illustrative examples include determination of polyatomic anions and metal cations, volatile organic compounds, and biocompounds including glucose and nucleic acids. Moreover, progress is presented in the use of derivatized thiophenes as functional monomers for preparation of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for chemosensing. Thanks to the range of synthetic procedures developed for preparation of derivatized PTs, these electronically conducting polymers have served as excellent recognition units for fabricating highly sensitive and selective chemosensors for target analytes.
