Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a special type of asphalt and its preparation method, and particularly to a purified asphalt and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] As a major type of highway, asphalt pavement still uses the traditional hot-mix hot-paving process in its construction. During construction, asphalt comes into contact with oxygen in the air and reacts: on the one hand, it undergoes a condensation reaction to generate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with larger molecular weights, which further condense into gums and asphaltenes; on the other hand, asphalt molecules will decompose under heating conditions to generate compounds with smaller molecular weights. These small molecule compounds volatilize and form asphalt fumes, which seriously disrupt the ecological balance, pollute the surrounding environment, and harm human health.

[0003] Given that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released unorganized during the paving process of asphalt pavement, and it is difficult to collect and treat them throughout the entire process, exploring how to reduce the release of asphalt fumes at the source, achieve clean construction of asphalt pavement, and ensure the harmonious development of the transportation industry and the social economy is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0004] CN101842426A discloses a method for reducing the odor of asphalt-like substances. This method reduces the odor of asphalt-like substances by adding activators and diluents. However, the added activators have poor reactivity and limited action time, making them unable to work for a long time. CN109749466A discloses a smoke suppressant and odor deodorizer additive, its preparation method, and modified asphalt. It reduces the emission of asphalt fumes by using metal-organic framework compounds, inorganic adsorbents, reactive odor inhibitors, and free radical scavengers. However, its inorganic adsorbents have poor compatibility with asphalt, affecting the performance of asphalt. It also suffers from the problem of short action time of the active components.

[0005] In summary, existing technologies simply add inorganic fillers or active components to asphalt, which leads to segregation and stratification of the inorganic fillers and asphalt, as well as the limited action time of the active components, preventing them from exerting their effects for an extended period. Summary of the Invention
