Asphalt Binders and Mixtures

Asphalt binders are subsidiary products procured during the refining process of petroleum while manufacturing gasoline, diesel, and similar petroleum products. Asphalt binders are obtained from the residue that remains after the distillation of petroleum, this residue is further subjected to steam distillation and oxidation to remove the traces of gas oil present in the residue. Certain additives or modifiers are also added to asphalt binders to alter them to suit different applications.

Question

Briefly describe the process of distillation by which asphalt cement is produced from crude
petroleum. Also, describe in detail how you would obtain asphalt binders that can be used to
coat highly siliceous aggregates

What are three advantages of using asphalt emulsions versus using cutback asphalts? Solvents in cutbacks add to green-house gas emissions while emulsions do not. Water is currently more expensive than solvents used in cutbacks. Emulsions are liquid at room temperatures while cutbacks are solid and need heating to become liquid. Cutback asphalts only need to be heated to 600C while emulsions require high heat to become liquid. Asphalt emulsions only need to be heated to 600C while cutback asphlats require high heat to become liquid. Emulsions are liquid at room temperatures while cutbacks are solid and need heating to become liquid. Can only add a positive or negative charge to the cutback asphalt to help the binder adhere to the aggregate. Water in the emulsion allows for better bonding with the aggregate. Cutback asphalts only need to be heated to 600C while emulsions require high heat to become liquid. Solvents in cutbacks are more…

Which of the following is a common binder in the production of asphalt concrete? A) Cement B) Bitumen C) Clay D) Lime
Several types of fillers, such as crushed fines, portland cement, lime, fly ash, and carbon black, can be added to asphalt concrete. Fillers are used to satisfy gradation requirements of materials passing the 0.075 mm sieve, increase stability, improve bond between aggregates and asphalt, or fill the voids and thus reduce the asphalt required.
