Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to modified asphalt with improved ductility and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of asphalt modification. Background Art

[0002] Dilian is the abbreviation of local refinery. Local refined asphalt is processed from the residue after crude oil distillation in local refineries. Its main components are oil, resin and asphaltene. Since the RTFOT ductility index of local refined asphalt products is smaller than that of imported asphalt products, there is a large difference in the indexes. Most local refined asphalts need to be modified by adding auxiliary materials to meet the requirements of national standards. In addition, the existing product indicators of different local refined asphalts modified with the same formula are still quite different from those of imported asphalt. In addition, in order to improve the modified qualified rate of local refined asphalt, the existing modifications of local refined asphalt include increasing the amount of auxiliary materials and compounding local refined asphalt with imported asphalt. Although it has improved to a certain extent, the prices of auxiliary materials SBS modifier and imported asphalt are relatively high. For this reason, there is an urgent need to develop a modified asphalt with improved ductility performance, which can improve the qualified rate of modified asphalt meeting national standards.

[0087] Comparative Example 4

[0088] A modified asphalt with improved ductility comprises the following raw materials and their mass percentages are the same as those in Example 1:

[0089] The steps for preparing modified asphalt are as follows:

[0090] (1) First, mix the local refined asphalt and rubber oil evenly, and heat to 170℃;

[0093] The control group is the purchased local refined asphalt. The RTFOT ductility of the local refined asphalt is as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0094] Performance Testing

[0095] 1. In the preparation methods of Example 1 and Comparative Example 4, after the swelling and development are sieved in step 3 and the 40-mesh sieve is passed, the 40-mesh sieve is observed as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown.

[0096] from Figure 2 and Figure 3 It was found that Figure 2 In the preparation process of Example 1, the rubber powder and the SBS7301 modifier were sheared together by a shearing machine without obvious particles; Figure 3 In Comparative Example 4, the rubber powder had obvious particles without shearing treatment, so the preparation scheme of Example 1 is the preferred scheme.

[0097] 2. According to JTG E20-2011 "Test Procedures for Asphalt and Asphalt Mixtures for Highway Engineering", the modified asphalts of Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 and the local refined asphalt of the control group were tested. The specific test items and technical requirements are shown in Table 1, and the test results are shown in Table 2 and Figure 4 、 Figure 5 shown.

[0098] Table 1 Test items and technical requirements

[0099]

[0100] Table 2 Performance

[0101]

[0102]

[0103] As can be seen from Table 2, compared with the control group and comparative example 1, Examples 1 to 5 use rubber powder and SBS modifier as additives through appropriate cultivation, which effectively improves the performance indicators of the modified asphalt and increases the RTFOT ductility of the modified asphalt. The RTFOT ductility is greater than 15 cm, and the RTFOT ductility is relatively stable.

[0104] It was further found that the addition of diatomaceous earth to assist rubber powder in Examples 6 to 9 further improved the performance indicators of the modified asphalt, with the RTFOT elongation being greater than 16 cm, and improved the performance stability of the modified asphalt preparation.

[0105] from Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be found that the tensile distance of local refined asphalt is short and the RTFOT elongation is small. The modified asphalt prepared in Example 1 has a good tensile length, which greatly meets the RTFOT elongation technical requirements.

[0106] 3. Batch production was carried out for the modified asphalts of Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3, and the local refined asphalt of the control group. The RTFOT ductility of each item was then tested to evaluate the qualified rate (%) of the index. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0107] Table 3 RTFOT ductility qualification rate of each production batch

[0108]

[0109]

[0110] It can be seen from Table 3 that the RTFOT ductility of the modified asphalts of Examples 1 to 9 can meet the technical requirements, and the qualified rate is not less than 90%, which improves the qualified rate of the national standard modified asphalt.

[0111] 4. Calculate the raw material costs of Example 1, Example 5, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Comparative Example 3 of the present invention (the total raw materials are calculated based on 1 ton and the mass percentage of each raw material composition): The present invention is calculated based on the price in 2024 (different brands will vary): SBS modifier material 15,000 yuan / ton, composite rubber particles 4,500 yuan / ton, rubber powder 3,800 yuan / ton, rubber oil 5,500 yuan / ton, stabilizer 5,500 yuan / ton, local asphalt 3,500 yuan / ton and diatomaceous earth 16,500 yuan / ton; as shown in Table 4.

[0112] Table 4 Modified asphalt raw material prices

[0113] Example 1 Example 5 Example 6 Comparative Example 2 Comparative Example 3 Yuan / ton 3932.5 3946.5 3924.2 4041.5 4214

[0114] It can be seen from Table 4 that, compared with Example 5, Example 1 uses 80-mesh tire rubber powder, and the total raw material price is reduced by 14 yuan / ton. Combined with Table 2 and Table 3, Example 1 uses 80-mesh tire rubber powder, which has a greater advantage; compared with Example 6, Example 1 keeps the proportion of other raw materials unchanged, reduces the proportion of local asphalt, and adds diatomaceous earth, which reduces the total raw material price by 8.3 yuan / ton. Example 6 uses diatomaceous earth to assist rubber powder, which has a better effect and reduces the raw material cost; compared with Comparative Examples 2 and 3, Example 1 increases the amount of SBS modifier added, and combines Table 1 and Table 3. Although the performance indicators can meet the requirements, the total raw material price increases by at least 109 yuan / ton, and the raw material cost is high.

[0115] In summary, the present invention utilizes an appropriate ratio of rubber powder and SBS modifier to effectively improve the performance indicators of modified asphalt, increase the RTFOT ductility of modified asphalt, and improve the qualified rate of modified asphalt meeting national standards.
