[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below.

[0044] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides an asphalt recovery method, including the following steps;

[0045] S1. Recover waste asphalt pavement materials and perform preliminary crushing to obtain asphalt particles; classify the asphalt particles into first asphalt particles and second asphalt particles according to the particle size.

[0046] In one implementation manner, recover waste asphalt pavement materials for crushing, and the particle size of the crushed asphalt particles ≤ 10 mm.

[0047] In a preferred implementation manner, before preliminary crushing, perform pretreatment on the waste asphalt pavement materials, and the pretreatment includes the following steps:

[0048] (1) Perform high-pressure water mist spraying and cleaning on the waste asphalt pavement materials, drain until the water content is 5% - 8%, and set aside; high-pressure water mist spraying can remove the dust and clay on the surface of the waste asphalt pavement materials. Preferably, the high-pressure water mist spraying and cleaning is carried out for 10 min - 30 min.

[0049] (2) Heat the drained waste asphalt pavement materials. The heating temperature is 95°C to 105°C, and the heating time is 15 minutes to 20 minutes. Whether the waste asphalt pavement materials are recovered by mechanical excavation or cold milling, the crushing process may cause the aggregate to be refined, resulting in changes in the properties of the aggregate, which is not conducive to the recycling of the aggregate. Therefore, in the present invention, a heating treatment is carried out before crushing. After heating at an appropriate temperature and time and then crushing, the phenomenon of aggregate refinement is reduced, and the recycling rate of the aggregate is increased.

[0050] In one embodiment, after crushing, metal impurities in the asphalt particles are adsorbed and removed.

[0051] Specifically, the particle size of the first asphalt particles is larger than that of the second asphalt particles. The particle size of the first asphalt particles is 2.5 mm to 10 mm; the particle size of the second asphalt particles < 2.5 mm. A complex interaction is formed between the asphalt and the aggregate. Part of the asphalt combines with the aggregate to form structural asphalt, and part of the asphalt is free between the aggregates to form free asphalt. The specific surface area of the large-particle-size first asphalt particles is relatively small, and both the structural asphalt and the free asphalt are relatively less. Subsequently, separation is achieved through friction and collision. The specific surface area of the small-particle-size second asphalt particles is relatively large, and the structural asphalt in them is relatively more and the free asphalt is relatively less. Therefore, subsequent stripping of the asphalt from the aggregate is achieved through a method combining stage heating and melting, batchwise solvent dissolution, and rotary centrifugation.

[0052] S2. Mechanically separate the first asphalt particles to obtain first aggregates and third asphalt particles.

[0053] In one embodiment, friction separation is used to achieve the mechanical separation of the first aggregates and the third asphalt particles. Optionally, a abrasion tester is used for friction separation. The particle size of the third asphalt particles < 2.5 mm.

[0054] The performance indicators of the first aggregates obtained by mechanical separation are somewhat reduced compared with those of brand-new aggregates, but still meet the requirements. The separated first aggregates are used in subsequent construction, improving the recycling rate of the aggregates.

[0055] S3. As Figures 2 to 6 shown, place the second asphalt particles and the third asphalt particles in the recycling device 1. The recycling device 1 includes a recycling container 2. The recycling container 2 includes an inner layer 21 and an outer layer 22 that can rotate relative to each other. The inner layer 21 is provided with through holes 23a or channels 23b. A collection area 24 for carrying the asphalt is formed between the inner layer 21 and the outer layer 22;

[0056] The first solvent is added in stages and heated and centrifuged according to a preset procedure. The asphalt in the second asphalt particles and the third asphalt particles is softened and seeps out into the collection area 24 through the through holes 23a or the channels 23b to obtain a crude asphalt product. The second aggregate is retained in the inner layer 21.

[0057] The double-layered asphalt recovery device is conducive to the efficient recovery of asphalt. By combining heating and rotating centrifugation, asphalt is separated from asphalt particles. The asphalt enters the collection area through the through holes or channels in the inner layer, and aggregates with larger particle size and density remain in the inner layer. The asphalt in the collection area is taken out and subsequent operations can be carried out.

[0058] Specifically, the aperture of the through hole 23a is 0.04 mm to 0.08 mm, and is exemplarily 0.045 mm, 0.05 mm, 0.055 mm, 0.06 mm or 0.07 mm, but is not limited thereto. The channel 23b is a long hole, and the length direction of the channel is consistent with the axial direction. The length of the channel 23b is 0.06 mm to 0.12 mm, and the width is 0.04 mm to 0.08 mm. If the size of the through hole 23a or the channel 23b is too small, it is not conducive to the throwing out of the asphalt, and may even cause the through hole 23a or the channel 23b to be blocked; if the size of the through hole 23a or the channel 23b is too large, the separated aggregate may be thrown out with the asphalt, and the asphalt separation effect is poor.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the through holes 23a or channels 23b are evenly spaced along the side wall of the inner layer in the circumferential direction; on the same horizontal plane, the angle α between two adjacent through holes 23a or channels 23b in the circumferential direction is 45° to 90°. The evenly spaced through holes 23a or channels 23b can ensure that the separated asphalt is fully thrown out to the collection area 24.

[0060] In order to facilitate the throwing out of asphalt and avoid aggregate clogging the through hole 23a or the channel 23b, along the axial direction of the inner layer, the bottom through hole 23a or the channel 23b has a preset distance from the bottom of the inner layer 21, and the ratio of the preset distance to the height of the inner layer 21 is 1:(5~10), exemplarily 1:5.5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8 or 1:9, but not limited to this.

[0061] Along the axial direction of the inner layer, there is a preset distance between the top through hole 23a or channel 23b and the top of the inner layer 21, and the ratio of the preset distance to the height of the inner layer is 1:(2-4), for example, 1:2.2, 1:2.5, 1:3, 1:3.2 or 1:3.8, but not limited thereto. In the asphalt recovery device provided by the present invention, through the setting of the size and position of the through hole 23a or channel 23b, efficient throwing out of asphalt is realized. The asphalt is thrown out to the side wall of the outer layer 22, and it is not necessary to set through holes with small apertures and dense distribution on the side wall of the entire inner layer. Only a few through holes can achieve efficient throwing out of asphalt, reducing the preparation complexity of the recovery device.

[0062] In one embodiment, the preset program includes:

[0063] S31. Heat to 120°C - 140°C, add the first dosage of the first solvent and stir at a constant speed at the first rotation speed. The asphalt is initially melted, and the first solvent is added during the heating process to dissolve the asphalt.

[0064] Specifically, stir at a constant speed at the first rotation speed for the first time. The first rotation speed is 50 r / min - 80 r / min, for example, 55 r / min, 60 r / min, 65 r / min, 70 r / min or 75 r / min, but not limited thereto. The first time is 4 min - 8 min, for example, 4.5 min, 5 min, 5.5 min, 6 min or 7 min, but not limited thereto.

[0065] In one embodiment, the mass ratio of the total mass of the second asphalt particles and the third asphalt particles to the total dosage of the first solvent is 1:(0.2 - 0.4), for example, 1:0.22, 1:0.25, 1:0.28, 1:0.3, 1:0.35 or 1:0.38, but not limited thereto. If the dosage of the first solvent is too low, it is difficult to achieve the dissolution and separation of the asphalt; if the dosage of the first solvent is too high, the subsequent purification difficulty will increase.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the first dosage accounts for 1 / 3 - 1 / 2 of the total dosage of the first solvent, for example, 11 / 30, 2 / 5, 5 / 12, 13 / 30 or 7 / 15, but not limited thereto.

[0067] Optionally, the first solvent is acetone. Compared with trichloroethylene used in the prior art, acetone has low toxicity and safety, and high dissolution efficiency for asphalt.

[0068] S32. At 120°C - 140°C, add the second dosage of the first solvent and stir at a constant speed at the second rotation speed. Through further heating, the melting of the asphalt particles is realized, and the first solvent is added during the heating process to dissolve the asphalt.

[0069] Specifically, stir at a second rotation speed for a second time at a constant temperature. The second rotation speed is 90 r / min to 120 r / min, and exemplary values are 95 r / min, 100 r / min, 105 r / min, 110 r / min, or 115 r / min, but are not limited thereto. The second time is 25 min to 35 min, and exemplary values are 26 min, 28 min, 30 min, 32 min, or 34 min, but are not limited thereto.

[0070] Heat from room temperature to 120°C to 140°C, and add 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the first solvent. The first solvent further accelerates the mixing with the asphalt particles as the temperature rises. Subsequently, keep the temperature constant at 120°C to 140°C, and add the remaining first solvent. The first solvent is added in batches by means of staged heating. After each thorough stirring and mixing, the next addition is carried out to ensure the uniformity of each stirring and achieve the full dissolution of the asphalt in the first solvent.

[0071] S33: Heat to 140°C to 160°C and centrifuge at a third rotation speed to obtain a crude asphalt product.

[0072] Specifically, centrifuge at a third rotation speed for a third time. The third rotation speed is 2800 r / min to 3200 r / min, and exemplary values are 2850 r / min, 2900 r / min, 3000 r / min, 3100 r / min, or 3150 r / min, but are not limited thereto. The third time is 8 min to 15 min, and exemplary values are 9 min, 10 min, 11 min, 12 min, or 14 min, but are not limited thereto. Controlling the centrifugation time within 8 min to 15 min can not only ensure the separation of the asphalt from the aggregate but also prevent the secondary aging of the asphalt caused by long-term high temperature.

[0073] The first rotation speed is less than the second rotation speed and less than the third rotation speed. Through the change of the rotation speed, the heating program, and the addition of the first solvent in batches, the efficient separation of the crude asphalt product from the aggregate is achieved, and the entire heating and centrifugation process can be completed within 1 h.

[0074] S4: Add a second solvent to the crude asphalt product, mix evenly, and screen to obtain pure asphalt.

[0075] Specifically, add a second solvent to the crude asphalt product. After stirring evenly, filter through a 0.075 mm sieve to remove the residual fine aggregate. Place the filtrate after removing the fine aggregate in a fume hood to naturally volatilize the solvent to obtain pure asphalt.

[0076] Specifically, the mass ratio of the amount of the second solvent to the asphalt crude product is 1:(3 - 5), and exemplary ratios are 1:3.4, 1:3.6, 1:3.8, 1:4, or 1:4.5, but not limited thereto.

[0077] Optionally, the second solvent is petroleum ether. The boiling range of petroleum ether is 30°C - 60°C. It has a low boiling point and can dissolve the light components and most of the insoluble heavy components in the asphalt crude product. In addition, petroleum ether has low toxicity and a moderate price and will not cause harm to the human body.
