Принадлежит: W R Meadows Inc

A process for manufacturing fiberboard by preparing a fiber slurry mixture including containing cellulose fibers and water then atomizing a liquid bituminous material, such as asphalt. The liquid bituminous material is atomized by mixing it with a pressurized gas, such as compressed air, forming a mist comprising droplets of bituminous material having a diameter between 20 microns and 50 microns. A water spray solidifies the bituminous material droplets thereby forming bituminous particles which fall into the fiber slurry within the spray chamber. From there the slurry is sheared, dewatered, and dried, forming a finished fiberboard.

At least one embodiment of the inventive technology may involve the intentional changing of the stability of an emulsion from a first stability to a more desired, second stability upon the addition of a more aromatic asphaltene subfraction (perhaps even a most aromatic asphaltene subfraction), or a less aromatic asphaltene subfraction (perhaps even a least aromatic asphatene subfraction) to a emulsion hydrocarbon of an oil emulsion, thereby increasing emulsion stability or decreasing emulsion stability, respectively. Precipitation and redis solution or sorbent-based techniques may be used to isolate a selected asphaltene subfraction before its addition to an emulsion hydrocarbon when that hydrocarbon is part of an emulsion or an ingredient of a yet-to-be-formed emulsion. 1. A method for changing the stability of an emulsion that comprises an emulsion hydrocarbon , from a first stability to a second , more desired stability , said method comprising the steps of:precipitating at least a first asphaltene subfraction of a hydrocarbon and a second asphaltene subfraction of said hydrocarbon within a substantially inert stationary phase to generate precipitated asphaltenes, wherein said second asphaltene subfraction is more aromatic than said first asphaltene subfraction;dissolving at least a portion of at least said first asphaltene subfraction from said precipitated asphaltenes to generate at least one dissolved asphaltene subfraction;adding at least some of one of said at least one dissolved asphaltene subfraction to said emulsion hydrocarbon; andchanging the stability of said emulsion comprising said emulsion hydrocarbon from said first stability to said second, more desired stability.2.

A process extracts and reclaims the components of an asphalt-based material having as constituents at least asphalt and one or more solid materials. A solvent for asphalt dissolves the asphalt constituent to form a slurry of asphalt-solvent liquid and the solid materials. The liquid and the solids in the slurry are then separated. The liquid is separated into solvent and asphalt. The solids, when of more than one type, are separated into at least one pure constituent solid.

A method for producing bulk good of agglomerates made of rubber particles and wax. A composition of the agglomerate and the use of the bulk good to produce asphalt or bitumen masses are created in that rubber is activated by swelling and using a swelling agent and a melt made of viscosity-reducing wax and of optional polyoctenamer is added, the activated rubber particles are agglomerated by means of the viscosity-reducing wax and optional adhesion-improving substances. The resulting larger volume leads to a viscosity reduction and the softening leads to a more intimate and more homogeneous wetting with the wax and, in the mixed good to be produced, a viscosity reduction remaining stable in the mixed good for <180 min and an increased stability of the cross-linking of the rubber molecules among each other after the agglomerates have been incorporated are achieved. 123-.

Method for Transporting Straight Run Bitumen, and Bitumen Mixture

Номер: US20140080947A1
Автор: Haupt Bertram, Marzouki Taieb
Принадлежит:

Straight run bitumen is widely used in the production of built-structure waterproofing systems, more particularly waterproofing membranes. In order to be able to obtain supplies of straight run bitumen wherever it is obtainable at favorable prices, it would have to be transported over relatively long distances. Since straight run bitumen is viscid at ambient temperature, it would have to be transported hot, which is not possible with conventional straight run bitumen. According to the invention, the straight run bitumen is admixed with a small proportion of at least one hydrocarbonaceous polymer. This solidifies straight run bitumen at ambient temperatures, making it transportable cold in the solid state. 1. A method for transporting straight run bitumen , comprising solidifying the straight run bitumen with a small proportion of at least one hydrocarbonaceous polymer and transporting the straight run bitumen comprising the at least one hydrocarbonaceous polymer in the cold state as solid straight run bitumen.2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a proportion of at least one hydrocarbonaceous polymer is added to the straight run bitumen such that the melting or softening point of the straight run bitumen comprising the at least one added hydrocarbonaceous polymer is above 50° C.3.

Some natural asphalts deposits, like those in Trinidad, Venezuela and Iraq, are thermoplastic in nature. After removing the water content, the resulting refined asphalt flows, coalesces, and its mineral matter sediments when blended with refinery bitumen. Packaged in 250 kg coated kegs and barrels, specialized road-paving plants are required for use. On the other hand, gilsonites, also a natural asphalts, are used-friendly, but performs unsatisfactorily compared with refined asphalts as a modifier of refinery bitumen for road-paving. Furthermore, refinery bitumen has been polymerized with polymers for decades. This polymerization of bitumen is used in this patent—the bitumen in these natural asphalts are polymerized with polymers to produce PMNAs which are user-friendly (discrete elements do not flow or coalesce), could be packaged in powders or pellets, could be used with conventional road-paving equipment so there is no need for specialized equipment, and saving costs to the end-user. 16-.

This invention is based upon the discovery that activated carbon can be used to sequester polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons that may be present in asphalt and creosote compositions. The treatment of asphalt and creosote compositions with activated carbon accordingly reduces the level of free polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in such compositions by sequestering them therein or removing them from the composition. After being sequestered the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons remain trapped in the asphalt or creosote composition, and are not available to the environment during normal processing into useful industrial products. This sequestration reduces the risk of exposing humans and the environment to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which would otherwise be free to migrate from the asphalt or creosote product during manufacturing and the service life of the product. In other words, the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are absorbed onto the activated carbon and are not available for bioaccumulation from the environment. 1. An asphalt composition having a low level of free polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons which is comprised of an asphalt and activated carbon having polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons sequestered thereon.2. The asphalt composition as specified in wherein the asphalt is an industrial asphalt having a softening point which is within the range of 50° C. to 200° C.3. The asphalt composition as specified in wherein the industrial asphalt has a penetration value of less than 15 dmm.4. The asphalt composition as specified in wherein the level of free benzo(a)pyrene is less than 1 ppm.5. The asphalt composition as specified in wherein the level of free benzo(a)pyrene is less than 0.5 ppm.6. The asphalt composition as specified in wherein the level of free benzo(a)pyrene is less than 0.2 ppm.7. The asphalt composition as specified in wherein the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons including benzo(a)pyrene claim 1 , benzo(e)pyrene claim 1 , benzo(a)anthracene claim 1 , ...
