초록

식물류에 다량으로 함유되어 있는 Cellulose는 인체에 무해할 뿐 아니라 연소시에 발생하는 유해가스가 적어서 친환경적인 에너지 자원으로 대두되고 있다. 특히 Cellulose의 유도체 중 하나인 Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose(HMC)는 의약품의 코팅재료를 비롯하여, 고급용 건축자재, 염료, 화장품 등의 첨가제로 사용되면서, 사용량이 계속해서 증가하고 있다. 따라서 여러 가지 위험에 노출될 수 있으며, 열적 위험특성을 알기 위한 방법으로 일본에서 많이 사용되고 있는 단열자기발열실험장치(SIT-II)를 이용하여 HMC의 한계발화온도와 겉보기활성화에너지를 구하였다. 또한 국제적으로 널리 알려진 Frank-Kamenetskii의 무한평판을 기준으로 한 자연발화실험(IF-SIT)자료를 이용하여 자연발화온도와 활성화 에너지 값을 비교하였다. HMC의 자연발화온도와 겉보기 활성화 에너지는 SIT-II의 경우 $186^{\circ}C$의 한계발화온도와 104.5kJ/mol의 활성화 에너지를 구하였다. 기존에 구하여진 IF-SIT결과 값과 비교하였을 때 무한평판의 두께 3cm, 5cm, 7cm에 대해 각각 한계발화온도가 $199.5^{\circ}C,\;188.5^{\circ}C,\;180.5^{\circ}C$이고, 167.4kJ/mol의 활성화 에너지 값을 지니므로, SIT-II로 구하여진 겉보기 활성화 에너지는 IF-SIT로 구하여진 값 보다 낮게 나타났으며, 이 값은 일반 Cellulose의 활성화 에너지 값 보다 도 더 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

This study is conducted on spontaneous ignition temperature and activation energy of Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose(HMC) powder. HMC is a kind of cellulose derivative and used as additives for building material, surface coating, printing ink, adhesives, cosmetics and medical supplies. So this material has been widely used as important additive in the chemical industry fields and a mount of production has increased year by year. Therefore, it is very important to find out the thermal ignition characteristics of its danger and the critical ignition temperature. This study was performed by the Spontaneous Ignition Tester(SIT) and so on. Based on the data of the SIT-II, the critical ignition point of HMC is about $186^{\circ}C$ which is slightly lower than normal cellulose.
