Background Art

[0002] The saturated fraction is the most chemically stable component among the four components of asphalt. Its content and type have an important influence on the stability, viscosity, aging resistance and low-temperature performance of asphalt. In order to deeply study the performance of asphalt and clarify the reaction mechanism of asphalt, it is necessary to study the saturated fraction molecules of asphalt at the nanoscopic level. Although more and more studies have selected asphalt saturated fraction molecular models, the selection criteria are usually subjective, and the selection of saturated fraction molecules when establishing asphalt molecular models lacks objective evidence. However, considering the time cost and actual situation, it is unreasonable to add all saturated fraction molecules to the model in related studies. Therefore, in order to take into account the accuracy of modeling and save time cost, it is necessary to select corresponding saturated fraction representative molecules for the actual asphalt system in different projects.

[0044] S2. Build a three-dimensional model of each asphalt saturated molecular structure based on the structural formula. Use Gaussian 09 software to perform geometric optimization on each three-dimensional model to obtain the stable molecular configuration with the lowest energy. The calculation method used for geometric optimization is density functional theory, B3LYP is selected as the functional, and 6-31G (d, p) is selected as the basis set.

[0045] S3. Calculate the molecular morphology index and electronic property index of the stable molecular configuration of each molecule through Multiwfn software.

[0046] S4. The saturated molecules were studied from the perspective of molecular morphology indicators, and six indicators including molecular weight, van der Waals volume, density, van der Waals surface area, SDP and MPP were selected for analysis. The molecular weight was obtained by calculating the molecular formula, and the van der Waals volume and van der Waals surface area were obtained by the Marching Tetrahedron algorithm, where the electron density isosurface was taken as 0.001 au; the density was converted based on the van der Waals volume and molecular weight; MPP refers to the root mean square deviation of each atom from the fitting plane, and SDP refers to the maximum value of the atom in the molecule deviating from the molecular plane.

[0047] Draw a scatter matrix diagram and Pearson correlation coefficient diagram of each indicator to explore the correlation relationship between the indicators, such as Figure 2a shown.

[0048] The data of the six molecular morphology indicators were standardized by Z-Score, and the six indicators were reduced in dimension by principal component analysis to transform them into independent indicators. The principal component analysis results of the saturated molecular morphology indicators after Z-Score standardization are shown in Table 1.

[0057] In the system clustering diagram, the larger the Euclidean distance of the initial classification of the asphalt saturation score, the greater the difference between it and other asphalt saturation scores. According to the system clustering diagram, the corresponding representative molecule selection scheme is obtained: if the experiment determines that the molecule has more than 3 branches, S2 is selected as the representative molecule; if the experiment determines that the molecular weight is greater than 600g / mol, S8 is selected as the representative molecule; if the experiment determines that the molecular weight is less than 400g / mol and contains branches and carbon rings, S3 is selected as the representative molecule; if the experiment determines that the molecular weight is less than 400g / mol and does not contain branches and carbon rings, S9 is selected as the representative molecule; if the experiment determines that the molecular weight is greater than 400g / mol and less than 600g / mol and the molecular density is greater than 1.10g / cm 3 , S4 was selected as the representative molecule.

[0058] The saturated molecules were studied from the perspective of electronic properties, and four indicators, namely, saturated dipole moment, MPI, Pi, and HOMO-LUMO energy gap, were selected for analysis. The dipole moment was calculated using Multiwfn software through the Hirshfeld weight function; MPI is the mean of the absolute value of the molecular surface electrostatic potential; Pi is the average deviation of the molecular surface electrostatic potential; and the HOMO-LUMO energy gap is the energy level difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital, calculated using Multiwfn software.

[0060] The data of the four electronic property indicators were standardized by Z-Score, and the principal component analysis was used to reduce the dimension of the four indicators and transform them into independent indicators.

[0063] Calculate the eigenvector of the principal component of each indicator, and calculate the scoring function of the first two principal components based on the eigenvector:

[0064] ePC1=0.41G+0.53H+0.51I-0.52J
