Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the title fuel which gives sufficient brightness of formed color even when the concentration of a color former comprising a boric acid ester is reduced and which generates little smoke during burning by dissolving a boric acid ester and an oxamic acid ester in a liquid fuel composed mainly of a 1-4C alcohol. CONSTITUTION:A boric acid ester (e.g. triethyl borate) and an oxamic acid ester (e.g. ethyl oxamate) are dissolved in a liquid fuel composed mainly of a 1-4C alcohol (e.g. n-propyl alcohol) to produce the title fuel. Because of the incorporation of the oxamic acid ester, sufficient brightness of formed color can be obtained even when the concentration of the boric acid ester, serving as the color former, is reduced. A suitable amount of the oxamic acid ester to be added is about 0.05-2wt.%. The obtained fuel is suitably used as, e.g. fuel for a lighter.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as a liquid material for generating green flame, there is a material prepared by dissolving boric acid or an esterified product of boric acid in fossil fuel or alcohol.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, when fossil fuel is used as a liquid fuel, when it is combusted, it emits an orange to yellowish flame color derived from the luminescence of free carbon. Coloring of flames is difficult with methods that use reactions, as the color is lost. In experiments conducted by the present inventor using petroleum-based liquid fuel and coal-based liquid fuel as liquid fuels, the entire flame was colored orange, making it impossible to visually recognize the flame color reaction caused by the coloring agent.

Furthermore, when alcohol-based liquid fuel is used as the liquid fuel, no interference with the flame color reaction is observed as in the case of using the fossil fuels mentioned above, but unless a large amount of boric acid ester as a coloring agent is added. However, if sufficient coloring brightness cannot be obtained and the concentration of the coloring agent is increased in order to obtain sufficient coloring brightness, a large amount of white fine particles of boron oxide, which is a combustion product, will be generated and will be scattered to the surrounding area. become.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for generating green flame by dissolving a boric acid ester and an oxamic acid ester in a liquid fuel whose main component is an alcohol having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. A liquid fuel was prepared.

The reason why we use liquid fuel whose main component is alcohol is that the fuel itself does not have a noticeable flame color when it burns, so in order to reduce the white particulates of boron oxide, the color is visible even when the concentration of boric acid ester is low. This is to make it possible. The alcohol used in this liquid fuel has carbon atoms of 1 to 4. When the number of carbon atoms exceeds 5, the orange or yellowish coloration resulting from the high-temperature luminescence of free carbon becomes stronger, making it difficult to visually recognize the color, and when the number of carbon atoms increases, the odor characteristic of fuel becomes noticeable. give discomfort. Furthermore, by adding oxamate ester, which has a negative effect on ignition performance when used as a fuel for lighters, as the boiling point and flash point rise as the number of carbon atoms increases, the color former boric acid ester Sufficient color brightness can be obtained even if the concentration is lowered, and smoke emission during combustion is also reduced.
In other words, according to experiments, in order to obtain sufficient color brightness to be visible under daylight, simply dissolving boric acid ester in alcoholic liquid fuel with a low carbon number requires the steps shown in Tables 1 and 2. The boric acid ester concentration was set to 30 as shown in
A concentration of 0vo1% (approximately 32 wt%) or higher is required.

At this boric acid ester concentration, since smoke generation due to boron oxide is originally low, it becomes possible to increase color brightness and improve visibility while keeping smoke generation low.

The following is considered to be the effect of this oxamic acid ester. ■The high combustion heat of the oxamic acid ester itself increases the combustion temperature of the flame, increasing the coloring efficiency of the coloring agent. - Due to the combustion of the oxamic acid ester, oxygen is supplied even to the reducing flame area, which originally lacks oxygen supply, and the occurrence of orange flame color is suppressed.

This oxamic acid ester produces its effect in a small amount, and the effect of increasing color brightness is recognized even when added at about 0.05 wt % to the alcoholic liquid fuel in which the boric acid ester is dissolved. The effect remains the same even if the amount added is increased, but if added in large amounts, the storage stability will be reduced, so adding in a range of 0.05 to 20 wt% is sufficiently effective.

In addition, adding a stabilizer containing organic compounds with a high carbon number such as aromatic hydrocarbons may cause noticeable orange or yellow coloration due to high-temperature emission of free carbon. This is not appropriate as it will make it difficult to see.
