Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized by a coprecipitation method. The synergistic flame retardant effect of nano-silicon dioxide (nano-SiO2) on ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)/LDHs composites was studied using limiting oxygen index (LOI), cone calorimeter test (CCT), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Results showed that the LOI values of the EVA/LDHs/nano-SiO2 composites were basically higher than that of the EVA/LDHs composite, and the EVA composite with 48% LDHs and 2% nano-SiO2 reached an LOI value of up to 31.2%. The CCT results indicate that the addition of nano-SiO2 greatly reduced the heat release rate, total heat release, mass loss, smoke production rate, total smoke release, and smoke factor. The morphology and structures of residues investigated by SEM gave positive evidence that char layers formed from the EVA/LDHs/nano-SiO2 composites were improved. The TGA data showed that the EVA/LDHs/nano-SiO2 composites show a higher thermal stability than the EVA/LDHs composites.

Double Hydroxides

Mg-Al-Fe ternary layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized based on Red mud by a calcination-rehydration method, and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The flame-retardant properties of EVA/LDHs (EVA, ethylene-vinyl acetate) composites were studied via cone calorimeter test (CCT), smoke density test (SDT), and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The CCTs data indicate that heat release rates (HRR) of EVA/LDHs composites decrease in comparison with that of EVA, EVA/Red mud, EVA/ATH and EVA/MH composites. The SDT results show that LDHs is helpful to smoke suppression. The TGA show that LDHs-containing EVA2 has higher thermal stability at high temperatures than the other samples.

AbstractNowadays, reducing the hazards of bayer red mud (BRM) is an important research direction in the fields of environmental and safety. In this article, Mg/Al/Fe ternary layered double hydroxides (Mg/Al/Fe-LDHs) were synthesized successfully by a co-precipitation method based on introducing Mg2+ into the BRM suspension. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results showed that the decomposition rate of LDHs is higher than that of BRM, which indicates that LDHs can absorb more heat than BRM during the decomposition process. Subsequently, BRM and LDHs were added into the ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) to investigate its effects on reducing flammability of the composites. The cone calorimeter test (CCT) results demonstrated that 50 wt% LDH-B can make the peak value of HRR (PHRR) decrease from 1694.8 kW/m2 (EVA) to 199.2 kW/m2 (ELDH2). The smoke density test (SDT) results showed that the luminous flux of ELDH2 is nearly 95% at the end of test with a pilot flame, which is much higher than that of EVA and EBRM. The thermogravimetry-Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (TG-FTIR) results confirmed that LDHs can improve the thermal stability of composites and reduce the production of some toxic gases. Compared with BRM, the improved flame retardancy of Mg/Al/Fe-LDHs is ascribed to the introduction of Mg2+, which offering an enhanced catalytic carbonization capability, as well as the physical barrier effect of char residue layer catalyzed by the lamellar LDHs
