Abstract

In the article, a state analysis of the organic carbon-containing additives use in fire fighting has been carried out. Negative environmental effects when using fluorine-containing short- and long-chain surfactants, which can act as both a fire extinguishing agent and its decomposition product, have been noted. As an important direction for further evolution in the field of fire extinguishing agents, the use of oxysilanes and gel systems based on liquid glass as environmentally friendly compounds has been noted. The prospects and environmental friendliness of the use of acoustic effects in extinguishing fires have been noted. The addition of small amounts of inorganic and organic compounds is regarded as an inexpensive and effective method to increase the fire fighting properties of water. In this work, the ecological characteristics of a number of organic compounds used in fire fighting as thickeners of aqueous solutions and the reduction of their surface tension were studied. Alginic acid has been shown to be the most environmentally friendly water additive among the investigated organic carbon-containing compounds used in fire fighting.

从环境友好角度研究消防用水中的含碳有机添加剂

文章对消防中使用的有机含碳添加剂进行了状态分析。文章指出，使用含氟短链和长链表面活性剂会对环境产生负面影响，因为它们既是灭火剂，也是其分解产物。作为灭火剂领域进一步发展的一个重要方向，人们注意到使用氧化硅烷和基于液态玻璃的凝胶系统作为环境友好型化合物。人们注意到使用声效灭火的前景和环保性。添加少量无机和有机化合物被认为是提高水灭火性能的一种廉价而有效的方法。在这项工作中，研究了在灭火中用作水溶液增稠剂的一些有机化合物的生态特性以及降低其表面张力的情况。结果表明，在所研究的用于灭火的有机含碳化合物中，海藻酸是最环保的水添加剂。

期刊介绍： Fire Technology publishes original contributions, both theoretical and empirical, that contribute to the solution of problems in fire safety science and engineering. It is the leading journal in the field, publishing applied research dealing with the full range of actual and potential fire hazards facing humans and the environment. It covers the entire domain of fire safety science and engineering problems relevant in industrial, operational, cultural, and environmental applications, including modeling, testing, detection, suppression, human behavior, wildfires, structures, and risk analysis. The aim of Fire Technology is to push forward the frontiers of knowledge and technology by encouraging interdisciplinary communication of significant technical developments in fire protection and subjects of scientific interest to the fire protection community at large. It is published in conjunction with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE). The mission of NFPA is to help save lives and reduce loss with information, knowledge, and passion. The mission of SFPE is advancing the science and practice of fire protection engineering internationally.
