It achieves the fire-fighting purpose mainly based on the phenomenon that foam can suppress oil evaporation. It has been found in practice that the thermal stability of regular protein foam is poor. If the supply of foam is of insufficient strength, foam will continue to break down under the effect of flames and heat radiation, and the fire thus can lose control again and is prone to recrudescence [1, 2]. It has been shown that aſter adding hollow glass microspheres (HGM) to foam extinguishing agent a stable scaffold of three-phase foam can form inside the foam, so that the thermal stability of foam can been significantly improved [3]. However, since HGM has a strong ability to absorb oil, it was found that the stability of foam added with HGM on oil surface was significantly lower than regular two-phase protein foam, when fighting oil fires [4].

1 Introduction

Protein foam extinguishing agent is most commonly usedfire extinguishing material when fighting oil fires It achievesthe fire-fighting purpose mainly based on the phenomenonthat foam can suppress oil evaporation It has been foundin practice that the thermal stability of regular protein foamis poor If the supply of foam is of insufficient strengthfoam will continue to break down under the effect of flamesand heat radiation and the fire thus can lose control againand is prone to recrudescence [1 2] It has been shownthat after adding hollow glass microspheres (HGM) to foamextinguishing agent a stable scaffold of three-phase foamcan form inside the foam so that the thermal stability offoam can been significantly improved [3] However sinceHGM has a strong ability to absorb oil it was found thatthe stability of foam added with HGM on oil surface wassignificantly lower than regular two-phase protein foamwhen fighting oil fires [4] Adding fluorocarbon surfactantto foam extinguishing agent might improve the stability ofHGM foam on oil surface However it still cannot meet

the actual fire-fighting needs [5] Xiao and Shou foundthat the modification of ultrafine particle fire extinguishingagent with 1 fluorocarbon surfactant could increase theoleophobicity of ultrafine particles [6] This paper usedtridecafluorooctyltriethoxysilane (hereinafter referred to asF8261) for the oleophobic treatment of HGM surface Wealso investigated the effects of the modifier concentrationreaction time and reaction temperature and other factorson the modification effect and compared the stability offoam extinguishing agent on oil surface before and after theoleophobic modification

3 Experimental Methods

31 HGM Surface Oleophobic Treatment HGM surface oleo-phobic treatment consisted of the three sequential stepsof acid pretreatment alkaline pretreatment and surfaceoleophobic modification

311 Acid Pretreatment An appropriate amount of HGMwas added to a mixed solution of concentrated sulfuric acidand 30 hydrogen peroxide at a ratio of 7 3 (vv) followedwith 20min of ultrasound treatment The HGM were thenwashed filtered and dried in order to remove the impuritiesadsorbed on the surface of HGM

312 Alkaline Pretreatment Anappropriate amount ofHGMwas added to amixed solution of 25 aqueous ammonia 30hydrogen peroxide and water in a ratio of 1 1 5 (v v v)followed with 60min of ultrasound treatment at 60 plusmn 5∘CThe HGM were then filtered and dried

313 Oleophobic Surface Modification Concentrated hydro-chloric acid was used to adjust the pH of the F8261 ethanolsolution to about 35 An appropriate amount of HGM withsurface pretreatment was added followed with ultrasoundstirring for a certain period of time The HGM were thenfiltered and dried for use

34 Experiments Measuring the Foaming Capacity of FoamFire Extinguishing Agent and the Stability on Oil Surface Theexperimental methods for the foaming capacity of foam fireextinguishing agent and the stability on oil surface are asdescribed in the literature [4 5]

4 Experimental Results and Discussion

41 Effect of F8261 Concentration on the HGM OleophobicProperty In order to investigate the effect of F8261 con-centration on the HGM oleophobic property 1 g of HGMwith acid and alkaline pretreatments was added into 100mLof different concentrations of F8261 ethanol solutions Theultrasound treatment time and the stirring time were fixed at20 h and 6 h respectivelyThe results of theHGMoleophobicproperty measurement are shown in Table 1 where 119883 is theF8261 concentration 120579 is the contact angle and 119905

119904is the

residing time of the oil droplets on the HGM surface Figures2 and 3 are photos that were taken whenHGMmodified withdifferent concentrations of F8261 were used for the contactangle measurement

Table 1 shows that the F8261 concentration can signifi-cantly affect the oleophobic property of the HGM surfaceWhen the F8261 concentration was below 1 the contactangle and the residing time increased with increasing F8261concentration When the concentration exceeded 1 theF8261 concentration had little effects on the contact angle andthe residing time This is because the modification of HGMby F8261 is a surface chemical reaction Therefore whenthe F8261 concentration is low the number of fluorocarbon

chains grafted to the HGM surface is low and the HGMoleophobic property is poor (Figures 2(a) and 2(b)) HigherF8261 concentrations lead to higher grafting rates of thereaction and larger contact angles The oleophobic propertyof HGM is significantly enhanced and the residing time of theoil droplets on the powder surface is also longer (Figures 2(c)and 2(b)) Once the concentration of F8261 reaches the level

the effects of the reaction temperature on the HGM oleo-phobic modification the amount of HGM was fixed at 1 gthe volume of ethanol was 100mL the F8261 concentrationwas 05 the ultrasound treatment time was 20 h and thestirring timewas 30 hWe compared the oleophobic propertyof HGM modified under different temperatures and theresults are shown in Table 2

Table 2 shows that the reaction temperature has a greatinfluence on the oleophobic properties of the HGM surfaceUnder the conditions of same F8261 concentration and reac-tion time as the reaction temperature increases the contactangle between the oil droplets and the powder graduallyincreases and the time that the powder remains oleophobicbecomes longer Modification under room temperature didnot lead to significant effects on the powder However whenthe reaction temperature exceeded 60∘C the contact angle ofthe oil droplet was up to 1280∘ and the time that the powderremained oleophobic was for more than three days

43 Effects of Ultrasound Reaction Time on the OleophobicProperty of the F8261 Modified HGM When investigatingthe effects of ultrasound reaction time on the oleophobicproperty of the HGM surface the amount of pretreatedpowder was fixed at 1 g anhydrous ethanol was fixed at100mL the F8261 concentration was 10 and the reactiontemperature was 60∘C The results are shown in Table 3 and119905

0in the table is the ultrasound reaction timeTable 3 shows that ultrasound treatment time has a big

impact on the HGM surface oleophobic property At thesame temperature concentration stirring and reaction timelonger ultrasound treatment time leads to better surfacemodification effect of the powderThis is because the graftingreaction on the HGM surface is slow The propagation of theultrasonic wave in the liquid can produce a strong cavitationwhich can increase the speed of response Therefore longerultrasonic reaction time leads to a more thorough contactreaction between the HGM and the silane coupling agent ahigher grafting ratio and stronger oleophobic properties ofthe HGM

to 1810158401510158401015840 around 84 times of the ordinary two-phase foamThis is because the impurities adsorbed on the surface

of the unmodified HGM have a certain extent of inhibitoryeffect on foaming Larger amounts of unmodified HGMadded lead to more significant defoaming effects Afterthe F8261 oleophobic modification the HGM surface iscoated with fluorine-containing groups reducing the tensionbetween the beads and the foam interface and significantlyreducing the liquid drainage speed of the foam

45 Effect of HGM Oleophobic Modification on the Stability ofFoam on Oil Surface The level of HGM added to the foamsystem was fixed at 30 and the concentration of the proteinsolution was 10 We compared the trends by which theheight of the foam changed over time on oil surface beforeand after oleophobic modification And the results are shownin Figure 5

Figure 5 shows that compared with the protein foamwithout the addition of HGM the presence of HGM led topoor foam stability and the foam rapidly burst with the foamheight decreased by 830 within 50min In contrast for thethree-phase foam added with HGM with F8261 oleophobicmodification the height was decreased less than 6 in30minThis indicates that after the oleophobic modificationHGM can significantly enhance the foam stability on oilsurface

This is due to the fact that the unmodified HGM has astrong oil-absorbing ability Once the foam contacts the oilsurface the HGM keep absorbing oil and thus continuouslyenter the oil phase As a result the foam scaffold is rapidlydeconstructed from bottom to top and the air bubblesinside the foam constantly integrate with each other leadingto increased volume and reduced air pressure inside thebubbles When exceeding its critical carrying capacity theupper foam will sink quickly due to gravity causing the

instantaneous reduction of the foamoverall height (Figure 6)After beingmodified by the fluorinated silane coupling agentthe oleophobicity of the HGM is increased Although thebottom of the foam is still in contact with the oil the HGMwill not enter the oil phase and the phenomenon of bottom-up destruction will not occur Therefore the foam scaffold ismaintained longer and the foam shows stronger oil surfacestability (Figure 6(b))

5 Conclusions

(1) After the treatment of fluorinated silane couplingagent F8261 the HGM oleophobic property can besignificantly improved and can be further improvedby increasing the F8261 concentration raising thereaction temperature and increasing the reactiontime Under the conditions of 60∘C 10 F8261 and20 h of ultrasound reaction the contact angle wasup to 1325∘ and the oil droplets could stay on HGMsurface over five days

(2) After the oleophobic modification the foamingcapacity and stability of foam extinguishing agentscontaining HGM can be significantly improved Afterthe modification the amount of added HGM hasno significant effect on the foaming capacity of theprotein foam liquidHowever the rate bywhich liquidis drained from the foam slowed down significantlywith increasing amounts of HGM while the 25drainage time gradually extended And larger amountof HGM with oleophobic modification led to greaterstability of the foam When the level of modifiedHGM reached 100 the 25 drainage time of thefoam was up to 1810158401510158401015840 and was about 84 times thatof the ordinary two-phase foam

to 1810158401510158401015840 around 84 times of the ordinary two-phase foamThis is because the impurities adsorbed on the surface

of the unmodified HGM have a certain extent of inhibitoryeffect on foaming Larger amounts of unmodified HGMadded lead to more significant defoaming effects Afterthe F8261 oleophobic modification the HGM surface iscoated with fluorine-containing groups reducing the tensionbetween the beads and the foam interface and significantlyreducing the liquid drainage speed of the foam

45 Effect of HGM Oleophobic Modification on the Stability ofFoam on Oil Surface The level of HGM added to the foamsystem was fixed at 30 and the concentration of the proteinsolution was 10 We compared the trends by which theheight of the foam changed over time on oil surface beforeand after oleophobic modification And the results are shownin Figure 5

Figure 5 shows that compared with the protein foamwithout the addition of HGM the presence of HGM led topoor foam stability and the foam rapidly burst with the foamheight decreased by 830 within 50min In contrast for thethree-phase foam added with HGM with F8261 oleophobicmodification the height was decreased less than 6 in30minThis indicates that after the oleophobic modificationHGM can significantly enhance the foam stability on oilsurface

This is due to the fact that the unmodified HGM has astrong oil-absorbing ability Once the foam contacts the oilsurface the HGM keep absorbing oil and thus continuouslyenter the oil phase As a result the foam scaffold is rapidlydeconstructed from bottom to top and the air bubblesinside the foam constantly integrate with each other leadingto increased volume and reduced air pressure inside thebubbles When exceeding its critical carrying capacity theupper foam will sink quickly due to gravity causing the

5 Conclusions

(1) After the treatment of fluorinated silane couplingagent F8261 the HGM oleophobic property can besignificantly improved and can be further improvedby increasing the F8261 concentration raising thereaction temperature and increasing the reactiontime Under the conditions of 60∘C 10 F8261 and20 h of ultrasound reaction the contact angle wasup to 1325∘ and the oil droplets could stay on HGMsurface over five days

(2) After the oleophobic modification the foamingcapacity and stability of foam extinguishing agentscontaining HGM can be significantly improved Afterthe modification the amount of added HGM hasno significant effect on the foaming capacity of theprotein foam liquidHowever the rate bywhich liquidis drained from the foam slowed down significantlywith increasing amounts of HGM while the 25drainage time gradually extended And larger amountof HGM with oleophobic modification led to greaterstability of the foam When the level of modifiedHGM reached 100 the 25 drainage time of thefoam was up to 1810158401510158401015840 and was about 84 times thatof the ordinary two-phase foam

Figure 4 Comparison of 11990525 of foam after HGM is modified by

F8261 (1 unmodified 2 modified)

of modified HGM added was 100 11990525 of the foam was up

to 1810158401510158401015840 around 84 times of the ordinary two-phase foamThis is because the impurities adsorbed on the surface

of the unmodified HGM have a certain extent of inhibitoryeffect on foaming Larger amounts of unmodified HGMadded lead to more significant defoaming effects Afterthe F8261 oleophobic modification the HGM surface iscoated with fluorine-containing groups reducing the tensionbetween the beads and the foam interface and significantlyreducing the liquid drainage speed of the foam

45 Effect of HGM Oleophobic Modification on the Stability ofFoam on Oil Surface The level of HGM added to the foamsystem was fixed at 30 and the concentration of the proteinsolution was 10 We compared the trends by which theheight of the foam changed over time on oil surface beforeand after oleophobic modification And the results are shownin Figure 5

Figure 5 shows that compared with the protein foamwithout the addition of HGM the presence of HGM led topoor foam stability and the foam rapidly burst with the foamheight decreased by 830 within 50min In contrast for thethree-phase foam added with HGM with F8261 oleophobicmodification the height was decreased less than 6 in30minThis indicates that after the oleophobic modificationHGM can significantly enhance the foam stability on oilsurface

This is due to the fact that the unmodified HGM has astrong oil-absorbing ability Once the foam contacts the oilsurface the HGM keep absorbing oil and thus continuouslyenter the oil phase As a result the foam scaffold is rapidlydeconstructed from bottom to top and the air bubblesinside the foam constantly integrate with each other leadingto increased volume and reduced air pressure inside thebubbles When exceeding its critical carrying capacity theupper foam will sink quickly due to gravity causing the

instantaneous reduction of the foamoverall height (Figure 6)After beingmodified by the fluorinated silane coupling agentthe oleophobicity of the HGM is increased Although thebottom of the foam is still in contact with the oil the HGMwill not enter the oil phase and the phenomenon of bottom-up destruction will not occur Therefore the foam scaffold ismaintained longer and the foam shows stronger oil surfacestability (Figure 6(b))

5 Conclusions

(1) After the treatment of fluorinated silane couplingagent F8261 the HGM oleophobic property can besignificantly improved and can be further improvedby increasing the F8261 concentration raising thereaction temperature and increasing the reactiontime Under the conditions of 60∘C 10 F8261 and20 h of ultrasound reaction the contact angle wasup to 1325∘ and the oil droplets could stay on HGMsurface over five days

(2) After the oleophobic modification the foamingcapacity and stability of foam extinguishing agentscontaining HGM can be significantly improved Afterthe modification the amount of added HGM hasno significant effect on the foaming capacity of theprotein foam liquidHowever the rate bywhich liquidis drained from the foam slowed down significantlywith increasing amounts of HGM while the 25drainage time gradually extended And larger amountof HGM with oleophobic modification led to greaterstability of the foam When the level of modifiedHGM reached 100 the 25 drainage time of thefoam was up to 1810158401510158401015840 and was about 84 times thatof the ordinary two-phase foam
