Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of asphalt recycling equipment, specifically relating to a stratified extraction and recycling device for evaluating the permeability of regenerating agents used in recycling technology. Background Technology
[0002] In road design specifications, the design service life of asphalt pavement is 15 years. However, in actual use, with the explosive growth in the number of vehicles and the increase in heavy traffic in my country, asphalt pavement needs maintenance every 3-5 years and major repairs every 8-10 years. Asphalt pavement requiring major repairs no longer meets the overall performance requirements, but it still has high utilization value as a road material. Directly discarding old asphalt mixtures not only causes enormous damage to the ecological environment but also represents a huge waste of resources. Recycling and reusing the large amount of asphalt pavement material generated during construction can restore it to meet road performance requirements, saving significant material resources and funds, avoiding environmental pollution, and achieving a circular economy development model and sustainable development.
[0003] These waste asphalt mixtures cannot be used directly; they need to be mixed with new asphalt, recycling agents, and aggregates before paving and compaction. New asphalt and aggregates are used to adjust the gradation of the recycled asphalt mixture and compensate for asphalt loss during pavement use, thus achieving optimal performance. Recycling agents play a crucial role in restoring the properties of old asphalt and are essential in the use of recycled asphalt mixtures. Currently, there are many methods to evaluate the restoration of old asphalt's road performance using recycling agents; however, the penetration performance of recycling agents in old asphalt is difficult to evaluate, making it difficult to judge the actual road performance of recycling agents. Based on this, this study invented a stratified extraction and recovery device for evaluating the permeability of recycling agents in recycling technology.
[0004] In the process of recovering asphalt from the aggregate surface and evaluating the permeability of the recycling agent, trichloroethylene is required as a solvent to dissolve the asphalt on the same aggregate surface multiple times within the same time period. If this process is performed manually, it is complex and difficult to precisely control the dissolution time for each step. Furthermore, the small amount of trichloroethylene solvent containing asphalt is difficult to recover in a rotary evaporator, and the lack of a condensation recovery device in the oven makes direct evaporation in the oven dangerous.

A connecting hole 17 is provided in the center of the platform 11. One end of the connecting rod 14 is connected to the connecting hole 17, and the other end is connected to the rotation control motor 16. The platform 11 also has six limiting holes 18, and a solvent bottle 19 is placed inside each limiting hole 18. It also includes an evaporation cap 20 and a guide tube 21.

The lifting control motor 22 is located on the top of the module housing 24 and is connected to the power button 3, the start button 4, and the emergency stop / reset button 5, respectively.

One end of the lifting rod 27 extends out of the module housing 24 and is connected to a hook 28. The hook 28 is connected to a metal ball 32 via a connector 31 (fine metal wire). The metal ball 32 is coated with asphalt. The manufacturing method is as follows: while the old asphalt is in a flowing state, the metal ball 32 is evenly dipped into the asphalt and allowed to cool and solidify naturally. It is then coated with a regenerating agent mixed with a tracer and left to stand at room temperature for 12 hours to allow it to naturally penetrate into the asphalt layer.

[0030] Example 2
[0031] The process of conducting the experiment using the stratified extraction and recovery device of Example 1 is as follows: First, the metal balls 32 wrapped with asphalt are suspended on the hook 28. 30 mL of solvent is poured into the solvent bottle 19 and placed into the 6 limiting holes 18 in sequence. The door is closed, the power port 7 is connected, the main power supply 3 is turned on, the emergency stop / reset button 5 is pressed, the digital display control module 2 is observed, and the start button 4 is pressed after positioning. The system starts to run the pre-set test operation procedure, that is, the metal balls 32 wrapped with old asphalt that have been soaked in the recycling agent are dropped into each solvent bottle 19 in sequence for stratified dissolution. The specific process is as follows: the lifting control module 10 first descends, rises after an interval of 3-10 seconds, and repeats the above operation after an interval of 8-20 seconds. The operation is repeated 5 times and then ends. Then, the rotation control module 12 rotates once every 5-15 seconds and ends after 5 rotations. After the experiment, open the chamber door, remove the metal ball 32, place the evaporation cap 20 on the solvent bottle 19 and secure it. Connect the conduit through the temperature measuring hole / flow guide hole 9 to the external condensation recovery device. Close the chamber door, turn on the heating control module 13, and adjust the temperature using the temperature setting button 6, ideally to 100℃. After a period of time, open the chamber door to check if the solvent bottle has completely evaporated. If it has, turn off the main power supply 3 and remove the solvent bottle 19, thus obtaining the layered extracted asphalt sample. FTIR tests were performed on the extracted recycled asphalt from different layers. The peak area of the tracer gradually decreased with increasing depth in the infrared spectrum. The layer data was fitted to obtain the penetrant concentration decay equation, thereby evaluating the permeability of the recycled asphalt.
