Abstract:

Addressing environmental concerns associated with conventional fluoride-based fire extinguishing foams, this study proposes the use of calcined gypsum and nano silica (NS) to develop eco-friendly lightweight nano gypsum foam (Nano GF) as a sustainable alternative, which exhibits exceptional extinguishing efficiency, requiring only 50 % and 70 % of the mass needed by commercial aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) to suppress n-heptane and ethanol fires, respectively. Calcined gypsum and NS work synergistically to enhance foam stability, yielding an impressive half-life of 360 min for Nano GF, double that of Base Foam without calcined gypsum or NS. Nano GF of rho = 65 kg/m3 maintained its original height without melting when exposed to the fire of 500 degrees C for 30 s, outperforming the fire resistance of gypsum foam (GF) of rho = 85 kg/m3 without NS. At 120 degrees C, Nano GF demonstrates superior endurance, evaporating in 80 s, compared to 50 s for AFFF. The synergistic effects between calcined gypsum, NS, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in enhancing the Nano GF's stability and fire resistance are revealed by ab-initio calculation and chemical analyses. NS and gypsum stabilize the CTAB foam through electrostatic adsorption and hydrogen bonding, while calcined gypsum acts as a flame retardant. NS inhibits gypsum agglomeration, ensuring larger contact area between gypsum and flame, thereby enhancing its fire resistance, while simultaneously reducing foam density and enhancing the flowability of the foam in firefighting scenarios. This research highlights Nano GF's potential as a fluorine-free solution for Class B fires, paving the way for innovative uses of natural resources in firefighting technology.
