Abstract

Purpose: As corn oil is semi-drying oil, it has more double bonds than non-drying oil and is easier to combine with oxygen. In addition, among the causes of spontaneous ignition, accidents caused by oil- soaked cloths due to oxidative heat are gradually increasing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to understand the characteristics of spontaneous combustion according to the number of towels and the amount of corn oil at 65℃. Method: After setting the test temperature to 65℃, 25ml, 50ml, 75ml of corn oil per towel was sprayed. The central temperature of the sample rises above the set temperature. It was determined, and when the central temperature of the sample became similar to the set temperature, it was determined as non-igniting. Result: After evenly distributing 25ml of corn oil per towel, as a result of the experiment, 5 towels did not ignite, and 10 and 15 towels ignited. Also, as a result of an experiment using 50ml and 75ml of corn oil per towel, spontaneous ignition occurred when the number of towels was 5, 10, or 15 sheets. Conclusion: Even a small amount can cause a fire if the conditions for spontaneous ignition are met.

연구목적: 옥수수유는 반건성유로서 불건성유보다 이중결합의 수가 많고 산소와 결합하기 쉬우므로 자연발화의 조건이 충족되면 적은 양으로도 가연성 물질에 흡착될 경우에는 자연발화가 쉽게 발생된다. 또한 최근 자연발화의 원인 중 산화열에 의해 기름이 묻은 헝겊 등에 의한 사고가 늘어나고 있다. 그러므로 65℃에서 타올의 매수와 옥수수유의 양에 따른 자연발화의 특성을 파악하고자 한다. 연구방법: 실험온도를 65℃로 설정한 후 타올 한 장당 25ml, 50ml, 75ml에 해당하는 옥수수유를 분사시킨 후 시료의 중심 온도가 설정된 온도보다 상승하고, 타올이 연소로 인해 탈 경우에는 발화로 판정하였으며, 시료의 중심 온도가 설정된 온도와 유사할 경우에는 비발화로 판정하였다. 연구결과: 옥수수유를 타올 한 장 당 25ml씩 골고루 분포시킨 후 실험을 한 결과 타올이 5장 일 때는 비발화되었으며, 타올이 10장, 15장일 때는 발화되었다. 또한 옥수수유를 타올 한 장 당 50ml, 75ml씩 사용하여 실험한 결과 타올이 5장, 10장, 15장일 때 자연발화가 발생되었다. 결론: 옥수수유가 적은 양으로도 자연발화의 조건을 충족하면 화재가 발생할 수 있다.
