Study on the retardation of volatilization of ammonia water by molecular monolayers

In order to inhibit the ammonia water volatilization firstly during the disposal of the ammonia water leak accident, a novel kind of retardant of volatilization of ammonia water was prepared with long and short chain alcohols in this work. The results showed that the retardant exhibited a good resistance to the volatilization of ammonia water. Firstly, the retardant could spread as monolayers rapidly and spontaneously at the ammonia water surface. Furthermore, the environmental factors, temperature, wind force and impurities, were also discussed in detail, and the results demonstrated that the retardant had a preferable anti-interference ability. © 2010 IEEE.
