Possibilities of Using Potassium Carbonate and Bicarbonate as Inhibitors in the Composition of Aqueous Fire-Extinguishing Substances

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents research of the possibility of using potassium carbonate and bicarbonate as inhibitors in the compositions of aqueous fire-extinguishing substances for the elimination of fires associated with the burning of solid and liquid combustible materials. It has been shown theoretically and experimentally that both potassium carbonate and bicarbonate are highly effective in inhibition of chain reactions in the gas phase of flame combustion. Recommendations on the selection of the inhibitory component when creating compositions of aqueous fire extinguishing substances are given.
