TL;DR
This paper reviews fire-fighting foam materials to prevent coal spontaneous combustion, focusing on their preparation, properties, and chemical modifications.
Contribution
The paper introduces coal gasification slag as a new foam component and emphasizes the need for environmentally friendly and effective fire-fighting foams.
Findings
Three-phase, gel, and curing foams are analyzed for their inhibition mechanisms against coal spontaneous combustion.
Environmental friendliness and anti-fire performance are key factors for future foam material development.
Coal gasification slag is proposed as a new, sustainable component for fire-fighting foams.
Abstract
Coal spontaneous combustion causes both human casualties and environmental pollution. Owing to special flow behaviors, foam materials used in fire-fighting technology can effectively bring water and solid non-combustible substances into the fire-fighting area, greatly preventing spontaneous combustion. This paper systematically elucidates three foam materials, three-phase foam, gel foam and curing foam, and analyzes their physical and chemical inhibition mechanisms on coal spontaneous combustion. In particular, the preparation, performance and latest chemical modification methods of the foam materials are summarized in detail. It is found that foam materials with environmental friendliness, economy and excellent anti-fire performance need to be consistently explored. The primary application areas for cement-based foamed materials remain the building materials and civil engineering…
