Effect of Magnesium Hydroxide Flame Retardant Treatment on the Properties of Corn Stalk Fiber
Journal Title: Journal of Civil and Hydraulic Engineering - Year 2025, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This study investigates the effect of magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH) flame retardant treatment on corn stalk fiber and its impact on the properties of fiber asphalt when mixed at a 3% concentration with asphalt. The study examines the changes in fiber aspect ratio and microscopic morphology before and after flame retardant treatment, and explores the underlying mechanisms that influence the basic performance of fiber asphalt. The effects of flame retardant-treated corn stalk fibers on the asphalt binder were assessed using tests such as softening point, penetration, elongation, temperature scanning, and bending beam rheometer. The results indicate that as the concentration of magnesium hydroxide increases, the three main indicators of the fiber asphalt binder first increase and then decrease. The highest softening point (49.8°C) occurred at a concentration of 2%, the highest penetration (7.6mm) at 1%, and the highest elongation (12.7cm) at 1%. The high and low-temperature performance tests show that the fiber asphalt binder made with 1% magnesium hydroxide-treated corn stalk fibers achieves the best balance of both high and low-temperature properties.
