Microencapsulated waste cooking oil derivatives for building thermoregulation
Highlights It was found that a novel type of microencapsulated phase change material (methyl palmitate derived from waste cooking oil), and the phase transition temperature was suitable for application in the field of building energy conservation. Using methyltriethoxysilane as the wall material, microcapsules with methyl palmitate as the core material were obtained by suspension polymerization and high-speed centrifugal precipitation. The coating rate was 48.97 % and the physical and chemical properties were stable. It was found that the structure created by directly incorporating the microcapsules as additives into foam concrete can be used in construction, as it increases its strength and significantly mitigates the impact of ambient temperature on buildings.
Abstract The utilization of waste resources and the intelligence of building materials are of great significance to the sustainable development of human society. A novel type of microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) with a phase change heat storage capability was prepared in this paper through the suspension polymerization method using methyl palmitate (MP) derived from waste cooking oil as core materials. Meanwhile, the response of foamed concrete containing MPCM to ambient temperature change was investigated. According to the experimental findings, the MPCM's phase change temperature, phase change enthalpy, and decomposition temperature are respectively 20 °C, 68 J/g, and 215 °C, which is extremely suitable for the external walls of buildings to adjust the indoor temperature. Moreover, the particle size of the MPCM is about 100 μm-220 μm, which can fill part of the voids in foam concrete to increase its strength. Additionally, the infrared thermal imaging experiment indicates that the foam concrete containing 10 wt% MPCM can maintain 4 °C-5 °C gap with the ambient temperature, which demonstrates that the MPCM can significantly mitigate the impact of ambient temperature on buildings. The findings of the study contribute to the intellectualization of building materials and the recycling of waste resources.
