Abstract

The flash point is one of the most important indicators of the flammabiliy of liquid solutions. The flash point is the lowest temperature at which there is enough concentration of flammable vapor to form an ignitable mixture with air. In this study the flash points of binary flammable solutions, 2-propanol+propionic acid and n-hexanol+formic acid systems, were measured using Seta flash closed cup tester. Particularly n-hexanol+formic acid system exhibited minimum flash point behavior. The measured values were compared with the calculated values using Raoult's law and optimization method. The calculated data by optimization method described the measured values more effectively than those calculated by Raoult's law.

인화점은 액체 용액의 가장 중요한 인화성 지표 중 하나이다. 인화점은, 가연성 증기의 공기 속 농도가 점화가 발생하기에 충분할 때의 온도 중 가장 낮은 온도이다. 본 연구에서는 가연성 이성분계 액체 용액인, 2-propanol+propionic acid 와 n-hexanol+formic acid 계의 인화점을 Seta flash 밀폐식 장치를 사용하여 측정하였다. 특히 n-hexanol+formic acid 계는 최소 인화점 현상을 보였다. 측정값은 라울의 법칙을 활용한 방법과 최적화 기법에 의한 계산값과 비교되었다. 그 결과 최적화 기법에 의한 계산값이 라울의 법칙에 의한 계산값 보다 측정값을 잘 모사하였다.
