Definitions
- This invention falls into the technology of materials production scope based on calcium hydrosilicates having the intention to serve as a filler material in the steel vessels, thus enabling a safe storaging, transportation and the consumption of solved acetylene.
- Acetylene is usually kept in gaseous state solved in some of the solvents such as acetone soaked by a porous mass, in this particular situation the calcium silicate.
- Asbestos used to be taken for reinforcement of calcium silicates which was added into the mixture of various materials whose basis is calcium oxide, silica and water.
- Such mixed suspension was introduced into the vessels equipped with special regulation valves, where, under the influence of a raised temperature and pressure in the autoclaves conditions, there came to stiffening of the suspension into a crystalline calcium silicate structure.
- the stiff mass, together with the steel vessel without a pressure gauge, was then exposed to a raised temperature with the aim of releasing of nearly whole amount of free water quantity, aside from the bound water in crystal structure of calcium silicate.
- the role of asbestos was, beside reinforcing calcium silicate, to enable a uniform fill-up of the vessel with raw mass, without an increased slackening of the input components in the raw mass.
- porous mass as a filler material is to uniformly fill the vessel's volume intended for storaging, thus enabling the inlet of the acetylene solvent (mostly acetone or dimethylformamide), as well as the inlet of the gas which is solved in it.
- This is enabled by exceptionally high porosity of the material provided - the calcium silicate which is characterised by very fine and uniformly distributed pores whose dimensions are up to about 25 ⁇ m, which make an effective contact possible of the gas and solvent as well as a proper filling and discharging of the acetylene vessels.
- the stiffening and drying processes of the mass is performed in such a way that the distance between the steel vessel's shell and monolithic mass should not exceed 3 mm.
- the porosity of calcium silicate mass reinforced by means of asbestos fibres amounts to 85 % up to about 92 % in voL
- calcium silicate mass has the task of preventing a progressive disintegration of acetylene in the vessel, and when it comes to sparkling inside it, caused by the possible dragging in of the back fire from the burner, in the conditions of regular consumption of acetylene in practice.
- the new product whose basis is the monolithic calcium silicate without asbestos contents, reinforced by uniformly distributed mixture of synthetic fibres on the basis of carbon and glass fibres resistant to alkali, with the addition of boric acid and carboxymethylcellulose, representing a good variant of the filler for the vessels in which the gaseous acetylene solved in the solvent, for example acetone, is safely storaged, kept and transported.
- Calcium silicate monolithic filler obtained by the new procedure, contains a mixture of crystal phase Tobermorite and Xonotlite, having the porosity 86 - 93 % and the equally distributed fine pores.
- Calcium silicate monolithic filling without asbestos contains an equally dispersed mixture of glass fibres resistant to alkali and synthetic fibres based on carbon, to which boric acid is added, secure a satisfactory mechanical strength of material, at the same time retaining a high porosity, which obtains optimum characteristics bound to the gas quantity which is possible to be storaged in the vessels, providing a high degree safeness, when used.
- the biggest importance for the monolithic crystal filling is to be formed in such a way so that the initial components should be homogeneously mixed according to the following mass ratios.
- carboxymethylcellulose does not exceed 0.5 %. It is added with the aim of preventing of settling of components in the raw mass, before the stiffening phase in autoclave. During baking procedure there occurs to its disintegration - pyrolisys, so favourably affecting the final porosity of the silicate mass.
- boric acid which favourably affects onto the ratio of obtained crystals phases during autoclaving procedure, which has a positive influence on the shrinkage during baking process.
- Production of the new calcium silicate filler material together with the raw materials within the said mass ratios is performed the following way.
- the soft water whose total contents depends on the aimed porosity, approximately in the range of 3 : 1 up to 4 : 1 related to dry substance, is added the CaO in order to obtain, by means of agitating, the Ca(OH) 2 , the lime suspension.
- Such homogeneous, well agitated suspension of all components is poured into the vessels for keeping the acetylene which are vacuumised at the same time.
- the suspension must be previously cooled to 20 - 35°C, having in mind it was, in the exothermic process of "slaking" the quick lime, heated up to about 50°C.
- the suspension is equally distributed in the whole volume of the vessel so as to avoid the possible cavities and bubbles of air in the mass.
- the decisive part is on the dispersed components of the carboxymethylcellulose solution and the mixture of glass and synthetic fibres based on carbon.
- the so filled vessel is equipped with a special shutting device having a pressure regulating unit which is screwed onto the vessel opening provided with a valve.
- the so prepared vessel is exposed to autoclaving process in the furnace with residing temperature from 180 to 220°C.
- the autoclaving process lasts about 20 to 50 hours, depending on the vessel volume, during which time it comes to the stiffening of suspension into a monolithic mass in the vessel itself
- the vessel On elapsing the necessary time, the vessel is taken out of the furnace and is left to be completely cooled.
- the shutting device together with pressure regulator is dismantled from the vessel and the opened vessel with calcium silicate filler material is taken into the furnace where the drying process takes place.
- the drying process takes as long as nearly the whole quantity of free water is removed out from the calcium silicate mass.
- the regime of drying process is adjusted so as not to cause an abrupt water evaporation out of the mass itself, which could imply to building up of major cavities and canals within the mass. For that reason, the increase of temperature up to 180°C lasts for 4 hours, and then it is gradually raised to 230 and up to 350°C at which it is maintained to the end of the drying process. Total time of drying process amounts to about 80 hours.
- Figure 1/1 shows the example of vessel outlook intended for storaging, keeping and transportation of solved acetylene gas, which contains the metal shell with accompanying valve (2), metal support (3), calcium silicate monolithic filling without asbestos contents (4), a bored hole in monolithic mass filled with quartz sand (5), felt (6), steel net (7), and a free space up to 3 mm (8) between the steel cylinder body and the filling.
- the so prepared mass is poured into the acetylene vessels which are at the same time vacuumized with the purpose of removal of the remained air.
- the vessels are taken into the furnace where the process of autoclaving is performed at the temperature of 190°C.
- the obtained calcium silicate filling has the volumetric mass of 255 g/l. Porosity is 91,9 %, and the compression strength is around 240 N/cm 2 .
- the mass obtained after autoclaving and drying has the porosity 91,2 % and compression strength of 270 N/cm 2 .
- Volumetric mass is 253 g/l.
