Styrene—butadiene—styrene modified bitumen is an elastomeric material mixed into an asphalt between 10 and 15%. By using high energy mixing, the SBS is uniformly dispersed throughout the asphalt to form a network, referred to as phase reversal because the minor component s (SBS) physical properties are displayed by the final mixture. A properly formulated SBS asphalt blend has an elongation of 100% or greater and is flexible down to temperatures below —6°C. 

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]. 

Methods have been studied to inhibit this reversal process. Some have involved the addition of olefins such as limonene, myrcene, and cyclopentadiene to the ends to inhibit the depolymerization. Such stabilized polysulfur has been incorporated into concrete and asphalt mixes to strengthen them. Concrete blocks, posts, and parking tire restrainers containing polysulfur... 

Direct Substitution Method. Sulfur and asphalt were poured together at 300°F and were added to the heated aggregate at 300°-320°F. The three materials were mixed in the Hobart mixer for 2 min. Standard Marshall test samples for Marshall and dynamic stiffness tests were prepared as in the emulsification method. Bar samples for fatigue testing were prepared by kneading the mix into 3 X 3 X 12-in. bars to obtain compaction equal to the Marshall compacts. 

Mixing of the asphalt mixture materials was conducted for 3 minutes at 152 to 157°C in a mixer. Compaction of the asphalt mixture into a mold was conducted at 140 to 144°C with the Marshall test rammer or a roller compactor.

The incorporation of roofing shingles into asphalt mixes results in reduced asphalt cement requirements and tends to result in stiffer mixes, with improved temperature susceptibility and rut resistance Prompt RS scrap is mainly produced in tabs approximately 285 mm long by 9.5 mm wide by 3 mm thickness, which must then be processed to suitable size for introduction into the hot mix asphalt... 

The bitumen quantity left after bitumen loss by absorption into the aggregate particles is designated as effective bitumen (bitumen) content. It is the effective bitumen quantity that will coat the aggregates, will provide cohesion in the asphalt mix, will fill some of the asphalt mix voids and will, in general, affect the bituminous mixture performance. 

Utilization of scrap tire rubber in asphalt has advantages in the performance of roads and their longevity. These include enhanced ductility, crack resistance, skid resistance, and noise reduction. Disadvantages of the rubber-modified asphalt are its cost and a possibility of toxic emissions into the air. Tests indicated that rubber-modified asphalt increases the cost of road construction by about 50% in comparison with conventional asphalt [192]. The requirement for an additional step of hot mixing during processing of the rubber-asphalt mix may possibly cause toxic emissions into the air. 

There are two main hazards associated with asphalt Fire and explosion hazards and health hazards associated with skin contact, eye contact, and/or inhalation of fumes and vapors. Most of the fire and explosion hazards associated with asphalt come from the vapors of the solvent mixed into the asphalt, not the asphalt itself The hazard is determined by the flammable or explosive nature of the solvent used and how fast it evaporates. The flash point (FP) of the asphalt and solvent mix will be higher than the FP of the solvent alone. Asphalt is combustible, typically with a FP of 204-288°C (400-550°F).The flash point—and therefore, the fire or explosion hazard— can be determined, in part, by the type of asphalt used.There are three types of cut asphalts. Rapid-curing asphalt (RC) is blended asphalt that has been cut with a low-flash (highly flammable) petroleum solvent. This low-flash solvent quickly evaporates, allowing the RC mixture to rapidly set and harden. Examples of solvents commonly used in RC mixtures include Benzene (FP=-11°C (12°F)), Dioxin (FP=27-32°C (81-90- F)), Naphtha (FP=42°C (107°F)),Toluene (FP=4°C (40°F)), and Xylene (FP=27-32°C (80-90°F)). Medium-curing asphalt (MC) is blended asphalt that has been cut with a solvent with a flash point over 170°F. Slow-curing asphalt (SC) is blended asphalt that has been cut with a low-flash oil having a flash point of over 12 PC (250 F). 

It has been shown that inclusion of fine mbber particles in asphalt reduces the cracking of pavement in adverse weather conditions [60,61]. There are two methods for introducing ground waste mbber into asphalt, namely, wet and dry processes. Wet process is carried out at 170°C-220°C for 45-120 min. Rubber particles absorb components with similar value of solubility parameter (5) from the asphalt, causing them to swell. The interaction between mbber and asphalt is mainly of physical nature. In the dry process, mbber is used as a replacement for part of the aggregate and is added to the mineral material before the latter is mixed with the asphalt binder. Addition of mbber greatly improves the elasticity of the binder and generally lowers its brittle point. Incorporation of GRT... 

Solvent deasphalting is carried out primarily to recover lube or catalytic cracking feedstocks from asphaltic residuals, with asphalt as a byproduct. Propane deasphalting is the predominant technique. The vacuum fractionation residual is mixed in a fixed proportion with a solvent in which asphalt is not soluble. The solvent is recovered from the oil via steam stripping and fractionation, and is reused. The asphalt produced by this method is normally blended into fuel oil or other asphaltic residuals. 

Asphalt—mbber is mixed and applied to roadways by several techniques. In one method, mbber and asphalt are mixed at ca 175—220°C for one to two hours. The hot mixture is applied to the roadway and covered with a layer of stone chips to form a chip seal. The mbber cmmb consists of scrap tires ground into particles less than 2 mm in diameter. Rubber-modified asphalt is also used for waterproofing membranes, crack-and-joint sealers, hot-mix binders, and roofing materials. The mbber improves asphalt ductility and increases its softening point. The aggregate adhesive bond is stronger, and the asphalt lasts longer. Production of rubber-modified asphalt has increased from 405 t in 1970 to 27,000 t in 1980 (41). Typically, about 2 t of mbber is used for 1 km of roadway. If it is assumed that asphalt—mbber contains ca 25% mbber and 75% asphalt, the potential demand for scrap mbber would be ca 40,500 t/yr, or ca 2% of the amount available. 

Petroleum crude oils, which are divided for the purposes of conventional classification into three main types—asphalt (or naphthenic)-base, paraffin-base, and mixed-base—contain varying amounts of hydrocarbons which readily solidify and are identified as wax. The asphalt-base crudes may contain only a trace of wax, while the wax content of the paraffin-base crudes and the mixed-base crudes may be as high as 15% or higher (73). Crude oils with a wax content as high as 35% are known. 

The forerunner of the rocket propellant containing perchlorates as oxidants was the American product, Galcit, developed in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory, at the California Institute of Technology. It consisted of asphalt as a fuel and potassium perchlorate as an oxidant, mixed hot. Originally the material was hot-pressed into rockets. However, at high pressures the flame penetrated between the charge and the walls... 

Asphalt emulsions are dispersions of asphalt in water that are stabilized into micelles with either an anionic or cationic surfactant. To manufacture an emulsion, hot asphalt is mixed with water and surfactant in a colloid mill that produces very small particles of asphalt on the order of 3 pm. These small particles of asphalt are prevented from agglomerating into larger particles by a coating of water that is held in place by the surfactant. If the asphalt particles agglomerate, they could setde out of the emulsion. The decision on whether a cationic or anionic surfactant is used depends on the application. Cationic stabilized emulsions are broken, ie, have the asphalt settle out, by contact with metal or silicate materials as well as by evaporation of the water. Since most rocks are silicate-based materials, cationic emulsions are commonly used for subbase stabilization and other similar applications. In contrast, anionic emulsions only set or break by water evaporation thus an anionic emulsion would be used to make a cold patch compound.
