ACETYLENE STORAGE VESSEL FILLER AND METHOD

摘要

A slurry having an aqueous liquid and dispersed solids may be vacuum filled into an acetylene storage container and indurated to yield a lime-silica matrix with a porosity between about 88 percent to 92 percent. The matrix includes a mixture of aromatic polyamide fibers and oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers. At least some of these fibers are fibrillated and the fibers are in an amount of about 3.8 wt. % to about 12 wt. % matrix.
