Abstract

In this study, boron/silicon sol compounds were applied to wood for construction and durable materials, and fire risks were investigated in terms of smoke performance index (SPI), smoke growth index (SGI), and smoke intensity (SI). The compound was synthesized by reacting tetraethoxyorthosilicate with boric acid and boronic acid derivatives. Smoke characteristics were investigated using a cone calorimeter (ISO 5660-1) equipment for cypress wood. The fire intensity fixed the external heat flux at 50 kW/㎡. The smoke performance index measured after the combustion reaction increased between 13.4% and 126.7% compared with cypress wood. The fire risk due to the smoke performance index decreased in the order of cypress, phenylboronic acid/silicon sol (PBA/Si), (2-methylpropyl) boronic acid/silicon sol (IBBA/Si), boric acid/silicon sol (BA/Si). The smoke growth index decreased between 12.0% and 57.5% compared to the base specimen. The risk of fire caused by the smoke growth index decreased in the order of cypress, PBA/Si, IBBA/Si, BA/Si. The fire risk due to smoke intensity decreased between 3.2% and 57.8%, and in the order of cypress, PBA/Si, IBBA/Si, BA/Si. COpeak concentrations ranged between 85 and 93 ppm, and decreased between 37% and 43% compared to the base specimen. A comprehensive assessment of the fire risk on smoke hazards decreased in the order of cypress, PBA/Si, IBBA/Si, BA/Si.

본 연구는 건축 및 내구재용 목재인 편백 목재에 붕소/실리콘 졸 화합물을 처리한 후 화재위험성을 연기 유해성에 대하여 연기성능지수(SPI), 연기성장지수(SGI)와 연기강도(SI)를 중심으로 조사하였다. 화합물은 Tetraethoxyorthosilicate를 Boronic acid와 Boric acid 유도체와 반응시켜 합성하였다. 연기 특성은 편백목재에 대하여 Cone calorimeter (ISO 5660-1) 장비를 이용하여 조사하였다. 화재강도는 50 kW/㎡의 외부 열 유속(External heat flux)으로 고정시켰다. 연소 반응 후 측정된 연기성능지수는 편백목재와 비교하여 13.4~126.7% 증가하였다. 연기성능지수에 의한 화재위험성은 편백목재, PBA/Si, IBBA/Si, BA/Si 순서로 감소하였다. 연기성장지수는 편백목재와 비교하여 12.0~57.5% 감소하였다. 연기성장지수에 의한 화재위험성은 편백목재, PBA/Si, IBBA/Si, BA/Si 순서로 낮아졌다. 연기강도에 의한 화재위험성은 3.2~57.8% 감소하였으며 편백목재, PBA/Si, IBBA/Si, BA/Si 순서로 낮아졌다. COpeak 농도는 85~93 ppm였으며 공시편과 비교하여 37~43% 감소하였다. 화재위험성을 연기유해성에 대해 종합적으로 평가하면 편백목재, PBA/Si, IBBA/Si, BA/Si순서로 낮아졌다.
