Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of road engineering materials, and in particular to an environmentally friendly, long-lasting, slow-release, low-freezing-point asphalt pavement material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, chloride-based low-freezing-point asphalt pavement materials (such as sodium chloride and calcium chloride) are commonly used as an active snow and ice melting technology for roads in cold regions. However, these materials have the following significant drawbacks: Chloride ions can easily seep into the soil and groundwater through rainwater runoff, leading to corrosion of metal components (such as bridge expansion joints and drainage pipes) and vegetation degradation. Traditional chloride salt anti-icing agents lack an effective slow-release mechanism and are rapidly lost under rainwater erosion and vehicle rolling, with an effective service life of usually less than 3 years, requiring frequent repairs and incurring high costs throughout the entire life cycle. Chloride salts have weak adhesion to asphalt, resulting in increased mixture dispersion and loss rates, which affect pavement durability.

[0003] Current technological improvements mainly focus on core-shell coating processes and slow-release complexed salt formulations: While coating chloride salts with epoxy resin or polyurethane can delay chloride salt release, the shell material relies on petroleum-based synthetic polymers, which are costly and difficult to degrade. Even if the chloride salt release cycle is extended through intercalation or complexation technology, the essential nature of chloride ion pollution cannot be avoided. Furthermore, the preparation process of intercalation materials is complex and difficult to industrialize.

[0004] Therefore, based on the relevant technologies mentioned above, there is an urgent need to develop an environmentally friendly, long-lasting, slow-release, low-freezing-point asphalt pavement material and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention

[0047] Place in a 25℃ water bath and keep warm for 2 hours. After the warming process is complete, use a splitting fracture tester (model) at a rate of 50 mm / min and record the maximum failure load P. A and P B ; Strength ratio calculation:

[0048] Anti-slip test According to ASTM C131, 5000g of asphalt pavement materials from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-7 were taken respectively. After sieving, particles with a diameter ≥4.75mm were retained. They were placed in an oven at 60℃ and dried for 12 hours. They were weighed and recorded as M1. Place the asphalt pavement material and 12 steel balls (47mm in diameter, total mass 5000g±50g) into the drum of the Los Angeles abrasion mill. Rotate at 30-33 rpm for 500 r, then remove, sieve through a 1.7mm sieve, weigh, and record as M2. Formula for calculating scattering loss rate:

[0049] Table 3 project DS (times / mm) Strength ratio (%) Scattering loss rate (%) Example 1 3800 89 2.5 Example 2 3850 90 2.3 Example 3 3750 88 2.7 Comparative Example 1 2800 75 8.2 Comparative Example 2 3200 80 4.5 Comparative Example 3 2500 68 12.1 Comparative Example 4 3400 78 3.8 Comparative Example 5 3000 72 6.5 Comparative Example 6 3100 70 9.0 Comparative Example 7 3500 85 4.0 Data Analysis: As can be seen from Tables 1-3, the environmentally friendly long-lasting slow-release low-freezing-point asphalt pavement material prepared by the present invention has better environmental protection, long-lasting slow-release anti-icing ability, high temperature stability, anti-scattering performance and process compatibility. In contrast, Comparative Example 1, which did not add nano-montmorillonite, had a significantly lower scattering loss rate and rutting dynamic stability than Example 1. This is because nano-montmorillonite has a layered structure, which can enhance asphalt adhesion. However, the lack of nano-montmorillonite in Comparative Example 1 resulted in insufficient asphalt adhesion, making the aggregate easy to detach and reducing its resistance to deformation at high temperatures. Comparative Example 2, due to the use of calcium chloride, had a chloride ion release rate and freezing point much higher than Example 1. This is because calcium chloride in Comparative Example 2 has no slow-release mechanism, and the chloride ions on calcium chloride will cause serious pollution to the soil and corrosion of metal structures. Furthermore, the anti-icing factor of calcium chloride is rapidly lost under the erosion of rainwater and the crushing action of passing vehicles. Comparative Example 3 shows that the snow melting rate and freezing point are extremely low due to the direct mixing of composite salt particles. This is because the composite salt particles lack core-shell structure protection and have poor compatibility with asphalt, resulting in excessively rapid salt release. Meanwhile, the slow-release mechanism of the core-shell microcapsules is the core of long-term antifreeze. In Comparative Example 4, the microcapsule porosity and compressive modulus were lower than those in Example 1 because polyurethane emulsion replaced the mixed solution. This is because Example 1 contained long-chain acyl chloride-modified polyN-isopropylacrylamide. The long-chain groups increased the crosslinking degree of the internal structure of the microcapsule, which improved the mechanical strength of the microcapsule. However, the polyurethane had poor degradability, low sustained-release efficiency, and poor long-lasting anti-icing effect. In Comparative Example 5, the imbalance of the compound salt ratio led to a weakening of the synergistic effect between the anti-icing factors, which reduced the salt release efficiency inside the microcapsules and affected the anti-icing effect. Comparative Example 6, due to the lack of modified poly-N-isopropylacrylamide, resulted in insufficient shell flexibility of the microcapsules and weak shear resistance. Meanwhile, modified poly-N-isopropylacrylamide can change the porosity of the microcapsules according to changes in ambient temperature, thereby regulating the release rate of the anti-icing factor and increasing the service life. Comparative Example 7 had lower rutting dynamic stability than Example 1 because no carbon nanotubes were added. This was because the lack of carbon nanotubes led to a loose asphalt network structure, which reduced the high-temperature rutting resistance. At the same time, the photothermal effect of Comparative Example 7 was weakened, resulting in a snow melting rate that was slightly lower than that of Example 1. The materials and processes of this invention ensure that, after 10 years of service, the freezing point of the road surface remains ≤-35℃, the snow melting rate decreases by ≤10%, there is zero chloride ion release, and the soil pH value in vegetated areas does not change significantly. The core-shell microcapsules, tea polyphenol derivatives, and nano-montmorillonite can directly replace mineral powder, are compatible with conventional asphalt mixing plant processes, require no equipment modification, and the core-shell slow-release structure forms a gradient porous structure through citric acid vapor crosslinking, controlling the phased release of anti-icing factors.
