The present invention relates to an antifreeze additive for reducing greenhouse gases and an antifreeze prepared by the same.

Various vehicles such as automobiles and ships that use fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel, LPG, and LNG as driving power may cause major engine engines to be distorted or deformed due to overheating caused by combustion during the driving process. . Therefore, it is essential to have a cooling system for cooling the engine heat, and most automobiles employ a water cooling system consisting of a coolant, a radiator, a water jacket, a water pump, and a thermostat.

In the case of such a water-cooled cooling system, antifreeze is added in order to prevent the cooling water from freezing and expanding in the winter and destroy the radiator or the tracheal block. With regard to antifreezes, various compositions are being developed, including antifreezes containing additives such as ethylene glycol, and for all seasons. As an example, the product which mixed phosphate and a silicate is mentioned.

Accordingly, the present applicant has proposed Korean Patent No. 10-0866919. The patent invention relates to an antifreeze additive for improving the performance of a vehicle and an antifreeze prepared by adding the additive, and includes tourmaline powder, ganban stone, germanium (Ge) and lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), neodymium (Nd), and the like. Lanthanum, cerium, and neodymium, including rare earth metals, generate hydrogen by hot water temperature in the cooling water, and the generated hydrogen is stored in the iron / titanium alloy of the cylinder membrane, and then the stored hydrogen is released again. By having a function as a storage energy through the invention, it was an invention that has the effect of saving fuel, improving fuel economy, enhancing output, reducing exhaust gas, reducing noise.

On the other hand, apart from improving the performance of transportation means, global warming due to greenhouse gas emission has emerged as a serious problem in recent years. Accordingly, the carbon reduction campaign, which is the main culprit of global warming, is in full swing, and countries around the world are also participating in the Kyoto Protocol to prevent global warming. As part of this, the Emission Trading System was also established. This is a system introduced by the Kyoto Protocol to ensure flexibility in fulfilling its obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.In addition, companies and countries that cannot reduce their quota by exceeding their quotas have been exceeded after setting a duty to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and annual allowances. It is a system that buys emission allowances from a company or a state and allows them to achieve their goals. The International Emission Trading (IET) market is forming. In April 2002, the 'Greenhouse Emission Trading Market' was opened on the London Stock Exchange in the UK. Korea will be responsible for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from 2013, and from then on, it will automatically enter the global emissions trading market.

However, fully aware of this international situation, Korea still ranks first in CO2 emissions among OECD countries, and second in China in terms of carbon dioxide emissions growth over the last 15 years, with 70 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. Demand is constantly increasing.

Greenhouse gas reducing antifreeze additive of the present invention tourmaline powder; Elvan; At least one rare earth metal selected from the group consisting of lanthanum, cerium, and neodymium; zirconium; strontium; And yttrium.

When the antifreeze including the antifreeze additive is injected into the radiator cooling water, positrons are generated in the coolant and electrons are generated in the cylinder to electrically operate. On the other hand, when the fuel is injected into the cylinder, the fuel is crushed finely to generate high molecular motion in the mixed gas and the mixed gas is rapidly subdivided to every corner of the combustion chamber, which is combined with the aforementioned electrical action to induce complete combustion. . As a result, the combustion rate is greatly increased, thereby minimizing unnecessary fuel consumption and greatly reducing carbon dioxide and exhaust gas emissions.

The tourmaline powder is a component for imparting electrical exchangeability as a material having a permanent electrical property by continuously generating static electricity. Tourmaline powder reacts with the cast iron / titanium alloy and aluminum of the cylinder to oxidize and reduce. As the temperature rises or impacts, the tourmaline powder becomes active.

Tourmaline (Tourmaline) for a detailed description is disclosed in the applicant's Korean Patent No. 10-0866919, the disclosure is to be included herein.

The elvan is a component for removing harmful substances, decomposing heavy metals, and controlling water quality as a substance having excellent adsorption. Detailed description of the elvan rock is disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-0866919 of the present applicant, the disclosure is to be included herein.

The rare earth metal is a metal capable of effectively storing a large amount of hydrogen and is a component for generating hydrogen in hot cooling water to improve combustion efficiency through a hydrogen recycling function.

That is, when the temperature rises, hydrogen stored and transported in the form of a hydride of rare earth metal is released, and the released hydrogen is stored in the cast iron / titanium alloy of the cylinder membrane, and then released and recycled to store energy. It is.

Particularly, rare earth lanthanum-based lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), and neodymium (e.g., rare earth metals which are easy to release hydrogen, have high purity of released hydrogen, and can also play a role as an essential element of brown motion). Nd). These can be used individually by 1 type or in mixture of 2 or more types of these.

A detailed description of the rare earth metal and hydrogen storage is disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-0866919 of the applicant, the disclosure of which is to be included herein.

The zirconium and strontium are constituent elements for maximizing the hydrogen storage function and have a high hydrogen storage rate and are materials capable of generating hydrogen in the cooling water effectively. That is, in addition to the existing rare earth metal, the hydrogen storage function is further enhanced, and the catalyst of mass invariant is performed by performing a catalytic function on the cast iron / titanium alloy film of the cylinder liner and the hydrogen (H) and carbon (C) in the cylinder. According to the law of energy invariance), it is possible to function as the same kinetic energy even with a small fuel, and as a result, it is possible to greatly reduce the emission of carbon dioxide and the like.

Zirconium combines with hydrogen as one of the transition elements to produce metal hydrides. Such hydrides include ZrH 2, ZrH, and the like, and have a structure in which hydrogen atoms penetrate into the gaps of the metal lattice. On the other hand, zirconium is the 20th place with 165 ppm of Clark number (average content of the crust), 0.02 μg / L is present in the seawater, and the main minerals are zircon (ZrSiO4) and baderite (ZrO2), and titanium, thorium, and rare earth elements. It is contained as a minor component in minerals such as or widely distributed in igneous rocks. That is, it can be easily obtained from natural minerals and the like as an environmentally friendly material existing in abundance in nature. Moreover, strength is good as Mohs firmness 5.0.

Strontium is one of the alkaline earth metal elements belonging to Group 2 of the periodic table, and also combines with hydrogen to produce metal type hydrides. In addition, since the reactivity to water is greater than that of calcium, hydrogen can be easily generated, and additional hydrogen can be easily provided. In nature, they exist mainly in the form of Celestite (SrSO4) and Strontianite (SrCO3).

Yttrium (Y) is a rare earth yttrium-based representative element, a material capable of effectively complement the hydrogen storage function of zirconium and strontium.

In addition, the antifreeze additive is based on 100 parts by weight of tourmaline powder, 1000 to 2000 parts by weight of elvan; Rare earth metals 7 to 14 parts by weight; 4 to 8 parts by weight of zirconium; And 3 to 7 parts by weight of strontium. If the content of zirconium is less than 4 parts by weight, it may not be able to exhibit a sufficient greenhouse gas reduction effect as required by the present invention, and if it exceeds 8 parts by weight, the content of other components is relatively reduced, and other required characteristics such as electrical properties. May weaken, as do the contents of strontium.

Specifically, the content of zirconium and strontium may be included as exemplary amounts for each vehicle type based on 10 g of tourmaline powder.

1) Small vehicle (below 2,000cc): zirconium 0.4g, strontium 0.3g

2) Small and medium-sized (2,000cc ~ 6,000cc, 3.5ton) passenger cars and trucks: zirconium 0.5g, strontium 0.4g

3) Medium / large (4.5ton ~ 10.5ton) vehicles: 1g zirconium, 0.8g strontium

4) Large vehicles (11ton ~ 25ton, bus, heavy equipment, special vehicles, ships, etc.) Transportation: Zirconium 2g, Strontium 1.6g

The zirconium or strontium is preferably used in the form of powder of micron to nano size. This is to smoothly perform the hydrogen storage function and the catalyst function.

On the other hand, nano-sized particles generally have a very large surface area compared to their volume and have a strong surface tension, which may cause aggregation between nano particles. That is, when the zirconium or strontium is used in the nano-size, it is not possible to exclude the possibility of aggregation between the particles in a narrow space when the antifreeze is packaged in a predetermined container. Therefore, it is preferable to add at least one or more of a surfactant or a dispersant to the antifreeze additive to prevent aggregation between nanoparticles and to disperse uniformly in the solvent.

The surfactant is used to prevent agglomeration of the nanopowder mixed with the solvent, and there is no particular limitation on the kind thereof. For example, conventional surfactants used to disperse metal powder in engine lubricants can be used. Preferably, organic amino acids, polyethylene glycol ethers such as polyethylene glycol mono-4-nonylphenyl ether, stearic acid, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and the like are used.

It is preferable that the addition amount of the said surfactant is 0.05-10 weight part with respect to 100 weight part of total antifreeze, More preferably, 0.1-5 weight part is added. If it is less than 0.05 part by weight, it is difficult to obtain a satisfactory level of anti-aggregation effect of nanopowder, and if it exceeds 10 parts by weight, certain physical properties such as heat resistance may be lowered in the antifreeze composition.

The dispersant is to prevent aggregation of the nanopowder mixed with the solvent and to increase dispersibility and to suppress sedimentation of the nanopowder, and there is no particular limitation on the type. Preferably, an epoxy resin, oleic acid, linoleic acid, Tamol NN8906, Tween 20, or the like is used.

On the other hand, it is possible to prevent the agglomeration of the nano-powder by putting a material constituting the antifreeze additive of the present invention in a solvent in parallel with the ultrasonic treatment with stirring.

Regarding the method for packaging the antifreeze additive, a packaging method generally employed in the art, such as a plastic or glass container, may be used. Specifically, PE, PP, or PET may be used as the material of the plastic container, but is not limited thereto.

Preferably, the antifreeze additive may be packaged in the form of capsules or ampoules or prepared in the form of granules or stick bars. By miniaturizing and manufacturing a solution of a certain concentration or an antifreeze additive which is a solid content (granule) of a certain content ratio, convenience to supply and use to a consumer is improved. For example, when packaging in the form of a capsule, the outer material of the capsule is melted in the high temperature cooling water, and the antifreeze additive is automatically distributed in the cooling water. When packaging in the form of ampoules, it is easy to carry, there is an advantage that can be appropriately added to the coolant from time to time by cutting one end of the ampoule whenever necessary.

The outer material of the capsule may be gelatin or collagen, and the outer material of the ampoule may be glass or hard vinyl chloride, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, the antifreeze additive may further include one or more selected from germanium, selenium, zeolites (zeolites), TiO 2, SiO 2 nanopowders having a purity of 99.99% or more. Here, the germanium or selenium is preferably included in the concentration of 0.001 ~ 0.1 ppm in the antifreeze additive.

The germanium serves to match an unbalanced number of electrons, and selenium serves as a photoreceptor to increase the function of other elements by interfering with electrical conduction and far-infrared movement along with functions such as heat absorption and heat radiation. SiO2 with a purity of 99.99% or more stabilizes the ions in the cooling water to reduce the static voltage and static electricity, thereby reducing the vibration and noise of vehicles such as vehicles.

Details of other germanium, selenium, zeolites, zeolites, TiO 2, and SiO 2 nanopowders with a purity of 99.99% or more are disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-0866919 to the present applicant, which is incorporated herein by reference. do.

On the other hand, the present invention relates to an antifreeze prepared by containing the antifreeze additive. Preferably, the antifreeze is prepared by including 0.1 to 2 parts by weight of the additive based on 100 parts by weight of the total antifreeze.
