Abstract:

【Objective】 This paper studied the flammability of fuel in typical grasslands of Erenhot City (EC), East Wujimgin Banner (EWB) and Xin Barag Right Banner (XBRB) in China-Mongolia border. Studying the flammability of fuel in typical grasslands is of great significance for controlling and prevention of the occurrence of grassland fires in China-Mongolia border. 【Method】 Based on field investigation and indoor combustion, analyzed the physical and chemical properties such as crude fat, ash content, ignition point and calorific value of fuel in typical grasslands in China-Mongolia border and based on SPSS 18.0 and Origin 2018 software, used the principal component analysis to analyze the physical and chemical properties to obtain the fuel flammability. 【Result】 Crude fat of fuel in the typical grasslands in China-Mongolia border from strong to weak is EWB, XBRB, EC. Calorific value from strong to weak is XBRB, EC, EWB. Burning point from strong to weak is XBRB, EWB, EC. Ash content from strong to weak is EC, EWB, XBRB. According to the comprehensive index of flammability performance combined with the fuel physical and chemical properties, the flammability of typical grasslands in China-Mongolia border from strong to weak is EWB, EC, XBRB. 【Conclusion】 The typical grassland on the border between China and Mongolia in the areas of EC, EWB and XBRB, fuel flammability in XBRB grassland is weakness and has the lowest fire risk; Based on fuel properties and meteorological conditions, EWB has the highest fire risk and should take prevention measures.
