Abstract
- Molten barium hydroxide (BHO) with strong alkalinity will absorb CO 2 in the air and denaturing part of BHO, so it is very important to treat it with liquid seal. In this paper, the effects of liquid seals with different cooling methods and white suspended substances on the phase change process of BHO were compared for phase change experiments, so as to study the influencing factors of powdery expansion of BHO and the crystal crystallization mode. The experimental results show that the probability of powdery expansion of BHO increases with the decrease of cooling rate. Liquid paraffin and high temperature silicone oil can play the role of air insulation, but will make BHO supercooling and powder expansion probability increase, some white powder suspended between molten BHO and liquid sealing material (BaCO 3 attached to tiny bubbles) has a certain promoting effect on nucleating crystallization of BHO, and the supercooling degree of BHO without white powder will increase again, the surface of the BHO crystal shows a tight structure around the loose and porous center, known as a branch cavity structure, which becomes apparent as the cooling rate increases. This experiment provides a reference for the study of phase change materials in the field of phase change energy storage. • The cause and influencing factors of powdered expansion of BHO were discovered. • The effect of liquid seal on the phase transformation process of barium hydroxide octahydrate was discovered. • The crystallization mode and macroscopic crystal structure of barium hydroxide octahydrate were discovered.
