In this paper, ammonium polyphosphate (APP) was modified by methyl hydrogen silicone oil and gas hydrophobic silica, hydrophobic ammonium polyphosphate (HAPP) was prepared. Then, HAPP was separately mixed with starch and melamine were introduced into polypropylene as flame retardants to prepare polypropylene (PP) retardant materials. The hydrophobic retention was of HAPP above 90%. According to the results from testing its wettability, its contact angle was 140.69°, which was increased by about 120°compared with APP, and this indicated the HAPP had better hydrophobic properties than that of the unmodified. And a comprehensive analysis is conducted on the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).The results showed that the surface of APP is coated with methyl hydrogen silicone fluid and gas hydrophobic silica. The limited oxygen index (LOI) of the flame retardant PP material is measured by the oxygen index tester, and at a total flame retardant loading of 33wt%, the LOI value of PP retardant materials can achieve 29%, indicating that this flame retardant can better make the PP into the stable charred layer, and improve the performance of the flame retardant PP material greatly.
This paper studied the effect of temperature, single surface-active agent and anionic/non-ionic surface-active agents to the viscosity of sludge-sump oil, and ditermined the optimum process conditions by orthogonal experiment. The result showed that the viscosity of sludge-sump iol reduced with the increase of temperature when below 50°C, then the viscosity decreased slowly when the temperature is above 50°C. The optimum conditions obtained by orthogonal experiment were: OP-10 0.6%, sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) 0.3% and water content 35%. The viscosity reduction rate was about 98.80%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
