Asphalt acidity

The erosion resistance of soil can be improved by increasing the autohesion of the soil aggregates this may be done by treating the soil with binder materials. Substances that may be used for this purpose include cellulose and its derivatives (lignin, humic acid), asphalt or other bitumens, peat gum, and various structure-forming substances from plant residues. The adhesive material coats the soil particles. The layer that is formed, with a thickness of a few microns, makes the soil particles tacky and hence increases the interaction among the particles.

Bitumen Ionomers. Moisture-resistant asphalts (qv) have been prepared by reaction of metal oxides with acid-functionalized bitumens (75). Maleic anhydride or sulfur trioxide/trimethylamine complexes have been used successfully for introduction of acid groups into asphaltic bitumens. 

Decopperized blast furnace bulHon is softened to reduce impurities below 2% before casting as anodes. The electrolyte is a solution of lead fluosUicate [25808-74-6] PhSiF, and free fluosUicic acid [16961 -83-4]. Cathode starting sheets are made from pure electrolytic lead. The concrete electrolytic ceUs are lined with asphalt or a plastic material such as polyethylene. 

Oil field uses are primarily imidazolines for surfactant and corrosion inhibition (see Petroleum). Besides the lubrication market for metal salts, the miscellaneous market is comprised of free acids used ia concrete additives, motor oil lubricants, and asphalt-paving applications (47) (see Asphalt Lubrication AND lubricants). Naphthenic acid has also been studied ia ore flotation for recovery of rare-earth metals (48) (see Flotation Lanthanides). 

The shipment of many commodities may require special barriers on the sacks to impart resistance against hquids or vapors. Other treatments are used to provide grease resistance, acid resistance, and scuff resistance. Special coatings are used in sacks for packing commodities, eg, synthetic mbbers, asphalts, waxes (qv), and resins, to prevent the contents from sticking to the paper. 

Although over 1.1 x 10 t of phosphoms pentoxide was produced in 1992, 99.5% of this material was converted immediately into phosphoric acid. The amount of phosphoms pentoxide produced and sold as such in the United States in 1994 was 6200 tons. The typical 1994 price was 1.6—1.7/kg. The only U.S. producer is Rhc ne-Poulenc at Mt. Pleasant, Teimessee. Phosphoms pentoxide, which is used to make asphalt-blowing agents and in water treatment, amounts to 1.0 x 10 t in 1992. 

The bonding properties of (Ti02) have been used for size-reinforcing of glass fibers so that they adhere to asphalt or to a PTEE—polysulfide mixture to impart enhanced flex endurance (434—436). Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solutions mixed with sucrose can be cross-linked with the lactic acid chelate and used generally for glass-fiber sizing (437). 

Admixtures are sometimes used to reduce permeabiUty of concrete (80—82). These iaclude pore-filling materials such as chalk. Fuller s earth, or talc water repellents such as mineral oil, asphalt, or wax emulsions organic polymers (acryflc latexes, epoxies) and salts of fatty acids, especially stearates. 

The composition of montan wax depends on the material from which it is extracted, but all contain varying amounts of wax, resin, and asphalt. Black montan wax may be further processed to remove the resins and asphalt, and is known as refined montan wax. White montan wax has been reacted with alcohols to form esters. The wax component of montan is a mixture of long-chain (C24—C q) esters (62—68 wt %), long-chain acids (22—26 wt %), and long-chain alcohols, ketones, and hydrocarbons (7—15 wt %). Cmde montan wax from Germany typically has a melting point of 80°C, an acid number of 32, and a saponification number of 92. 

Substituted Amide Waxes. The product of fatty acid amidation has unique waxlike properties (13). Probably the most widely produced material is N,1S7-distearylethylenediarnine [110-30-5] which has a melting point of ca 140°C, an acid number of ca 7, and a low melt viscosity. Because of its unusuaHy high melting point and unique functionaHty, it is used in additive quantities to raise the apparent melting point of themoplastic resins and asphalts, as an internal—external lubricant in the compounding of a variety of thermoplastic resins, and as a processing aid for elastomers. 

However, for the past 30 years fractional separation has been the basis for most asphalt composition analysis (Fig. 10). The separation methods that have been used divide asphalt into operationally defined fractions. Four types of asphalt separation procedures are now in use ( /) chemical precipitation in which / -pentane separation of asphaltenes is foUowed by chemical precipitation of other fractions with sulfuric acid of increasing concentration (ASTM D2006) (2) solvent fractionation separation of an "asphaltene" fraction by the use of 1-butanol foUowed by dissolution of the 1-butanol solubles in... 

Techniques are available for quantitative identification of the six principal types of heteroatom compounds in asphalt carboxyUc acids, 2-quinolones, phenols, pyrroles, amides, andpyridines (67).

Asphalt Asphalt is used as a flexible protective coating, as a bricklining membrane, and as a chemical-resisting floor covering and road surface. Resistant to acids and bases, alphalt is soluble in organic solvents such as ketones, most chlorinated hydrocarbons, and aromatic hydrocarbons.

The most important use of sulfur is for sulfuric acid production. Other uses range from dusting powder for roses to ruhher vulcanization to sulfur-asphalt pavements. Flower sulfur is used in match production and in certain pharmaceuticals. Sulfur is also an additive in high pressure luhricants. 

Cresylic acid is a commercial mixture of phenolic compounds including phenol, cresols, and xylenols. This mixture varies widely according to its source. Properties of phenol, cresols, and xylenols are shown in Table 4-5 Cresylic acid constitutes part of the oxygen compounds found in crudes that are concentrated in the naphtha fraction obtained principally from naphthenic and asphaltic-based crudes. Phenolic compounds, which are weak acids, are extracted with relatively strong aqueous caustic solutions. 

Salts of a-sulfo fatty acid esters can work as emulsifying agents for the preparation of asphalt emulsions and asphalt-latex emulsions. The ester sulfonates improve the storage stability of the emulsions [101,102]. In the manufacture of lightweight gypsum products air bubbles have to be mixed into the slurries. The use of salts of sulfonated C10 l8 fatty acid alkyl esters as foaming agents produces uniformly distributed fine bubbles [103]. Salts of C10 16 fatty acid alkyl ester sulfonates can also be added to cement mixtures to prevent slump loss of the mixtures [104]. 

If the injected acid itself contains iron (III), a precipitation of the asphaltic products can occur when it comes in contact with certain crude oils. This leads to practically irreversible damage of the zone treated. The amount of precipitate generally increases with the strength and concentration of the acid. Certain organic sulfur compounds, such as ammonium thioglycolate, mercaptoethanol, cysteamine, thioglycerol, cysteine, and thiolactic acid [581], can reduce the iron (HI). 

Furthermore, the injection of organic aromatic solvents and soaking is a feasible method to remove the precipitates [924]. The precipitation of asphalt from crude oil can be reduced by adding an N,N-dialkylamide of a fatty acid [1525,1527]. When asphaltenes are precipitated out, they can be removed from the walls of a well, pipeline, and so forth by washing with a hydrocarbon solvent. However, it has been shown that isopropyl benzoate is exceptionally useful as a solvent for asphaltene removal [1583].
