Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road construction materials and engineering technology, specifically to an experimental device for testing the runoff purification performance of road surface materials. Background Technology

[0002] While urbanization and road traffic have driven rapid socio-economic development, they have also brought about some environmental pollution problems. Rainwater runoff from impermeable pavements is one of the most prominent urban environmental pollution issues due to its high concentration and heavy load of pollutants. In contrast, permeable asphalt pavement structures, with their larger porosity and more developed internal interconnected pores, can reduce surface water accumulation, alleviate urban flooding, and moderate peak runoff. Adding adsorbent materials to the pavement structure can improve runoff water quality and purify pollutants in rainwater runoff from the road surface.

[0003] Currently, there is limited research on purification devices for permeable asphalt pavements. Most experimental devices are self-assembled and lack uniformity, which leads to problems in comparing experimental results.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention provides an experimental device for testing the runoff purification performance of road materials. Utility Model Content

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The experimental device for testing the runoff purification performance of road materials can collect rainwater or a self-made solution and add it to a water storage container. By controlling the water inlet valve and adjusting the flow rate of the solution according to the value displayed by the flow meter, the solution is then evenly sprayed onto the specimen through an adjustable nozzle for thorough filtration. The filtered solution is finally collected in a water sample collector. The collected water sample can be used for subsequent tests on the characteristics of different pollutants to evaluate the purification effect of road materials on rainwater runoff.
