As used in the present description, the term polymer refers to a molecule that has at least one repeating unit in the polymer backbone (e.g., at least one repeating monomer in the polymer backbone) and may include copolymers. As used in this description, asphalt, asphalt binder, and bitumen refer to the binder phase of an asphalt pavement. The binder may include binder material acquired from asphalt-producing refineries, flux, refinery vacuum tower bottoms, pitch, and other processing residues from vacuum tower residues, as well as oxidized and aged asphalt binder from recycled asphalt compositions such as reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled asphalt shingles (RAS). The asphalt or bitumen may also be from naturally occurring sources such as lac asphalt. Without being limited to any particular theory, the following description of the chemical structure of conventional asphalt is provided.Asphalt or bitumen comprises a complex continuum of compounds spanning a wide range of molecular weights, functionalities, polarities, and heteroatom content. As a result, asphalt or bitumen is frequently fractionated according to reactivity and solubility using a predetermined set of solvents. Researchers have described the interactions between these defined fractions using several models, such as the colloidal model. In the colloidal model, a middle or continuous phase is defined, consisting primarily of relatively low-polarity naphthenic-aromatic compounds (or solvent phase) and paraffinic compounds, which may include crystalline fractions. A dispersion of highly polar macerates at various levels of intermolecular association within this continuous medium provides much of the mechanical and rheological properties of asphalt or bitumen.The constituents of micelles are frequently defined as a high polarity, high molecular weight asphaltene fraction surrounded by fractions of a lower polarity resin (also known as polar aromatic) with high affinity for both the neutral aromatic fraction and the polar asphaltene fraction. Asphalt ages through a combination of mechanisms, primarily oxidation and volatilization. Aging increases the asphalt modulus, decreases viscous dissipation and stress relaxation, and increases brittleness at lower performance temperatures. As a result, asphalt becomes more susceptible to cracking and damage accumulation. As used in this description, asphalt concrete or asphalt pavement refers to a mixture that includes asphalt binder and aggregate. Asphalt concrete or pavement may be recycled asphalt concrete, such as where the bitumen in the binder includes recycled or aged bitumen, the aggregate includes aggregates of a recycled asphalt composition, or a combination thereof. As used in this description, asphaltene is a substance consisting primarily of carbon and hydrogen, including multiple naphthenic and aromatic ring structures, and further including heteroatoms and functional groups primarily based on sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen. Asphaltenes can be the insoluble n-heptane component of carbonaceous material, as defined in ASTM D3279. In bitumen or asphalt, asphaltene is generally the largest molecular weight and highest density component of the four SARA fractions (saturation, aromatics, resins, asphaltenes) and includes the most polar portions.The other three fractions (the n-heptane-soluble fractions) are collectively called the maltene phase and can be defined using a Latroscan MK-6S thin-layer chromatography method by adapting the principles outlined in ASTM D4142 for bitumen fractionation, using n-pentane to elute the saturates and a 90:10 mixture of toluene and chloroform to elute the fraction resulting from a solvent deasphalting process. Recycled asphalt or recycled bitumen may include aggregates containing recycled materials, such as aggregate derived from a recycled or aged asphalt composition. The source of the recycled asphalt or recycled bitumen may include asphalt pavement, asphalt shingles, roofing membranes, asphalt coatings, or other formulations that contained bitumen.Such recycled asphalt content may include that which is recycled during the first time and / or that which has been recycled multiple times. As used in the present description, an oligomer is a polymeric molecule that has a molecular weight greater than 400. In contrast, a monomer may include monoacylglycerols (MAG), diacylglycerols (DAG), triacylglycerols (TAG), and free fatty acids (FFA). As used herein, an oligomerized biorenewable oil comprises one or more biorenewable oils that have been oligomerized through sulfolation, coating, blowing, or a combination thereof. An oligomerized biorenewable oil of the present invention typically has a numerical average molecular weight of at least 800, preferably at least 1000, for example, at least 1200, and preferably between 1200 and 1750. ζοηαηη / ζζηζ / Ε / γίΛΐ Binding composition In several respects, the present invention provides a binding composition. The binding composition may include bitumen in addition to any bitumen included in the asphaltene additive, or the binding composition may be substantially free of bitumen other than any bitumen included in the asphaltene additive. The binding composition may include an oligomerized biorenewable oil that is at least 10% by weight of the binding composition. The binding composition may also include an asphaltene additive that includes at least 20% to 100% by weight of asphaltenes, wherein the asphaltene additive is at least 8% by weight of the binding composition. The binding composition may partially or completely replace the asphalt binder that is combined with an aggregate to form asphalt pavement. The binding composition itself is substantially free of aggregate (e.g., it includes approximately 0% by weight of aggregate).The binding composition may be called asphalt, an asphalt composition, or an asphalt binder composition, even for forms of the binder composition that are substantially free of bitumen. A composition that includes a combination of the binder composition and the aggregate may be called asphalt pavement or asphalt concrete, even for forms of the binder composition that are substantially free of bitumen. The binder composition can be used in asphalt mixtures for road applications, including asphalt pavements, pothole repair mixes, cold mixes, warm mixes, and hot recycled mixes. The binder composition can be used in pavement preservation applications, especially those that typically use bitumen, such as crack sealants, joint sealants, chip seals, mist seals, scrubbing seals, suspension seals, rejuvenation seals, and micro-coating, where the binder composition may or may not be emulsified. The binder composition can be used for construction purposes such as tack coats, primers, and cold recycled materials, where the binder composition may or may not be emulsified. The binder composition can be used in various roofing applications where bitumen can be used.This may include shingles, roofing mats, integrated roofing, and the like. The binding composition can be used in coating applications, especially those that may use bitumen, including, but not limited to, corrosion inhibitors, paints, waterproofing, fertilizer coatings, pipe coatings, and other industrial coating applications.

EXAMPLES Several aspects of the present invention can be better understood by reference to the following examples, which are provided for illustrative purposes. The present invention is not limited to the examples provided herein. ζοηαηη / ζζηζ / Ε / γίΛΐ The term ΔTο indicates the difference between the BBR S grade and the BBR m grade (S-BBR minus m-BBR) after 20 hours of PAV aging. A trend toward lower or more negative ATc values ​​is widely considered indicative of decreased bitumen compatibility, colloidal stability, and durability in the literature. A trend toward larger or more positive values ​​is desirable. Using AASHTO M320, the bitumen performance grade is determined as the interval defined by the lower of the two DSR grades and the higher of the two BBR grades. A PG64-22 has a high-temperature grade of 64°C and a low-temperature grade of -22°C, and is one of the most common pavement-grade bitumen grades (PG64-22). Other grades commonly used in paving are PG58-28 and PG5234. These grades cover temperatures from 64°C to -34°C and cover most pavements globally, and are equivalent to the grades primarily used in other regions of the world. In some very warm regions, grades such as PG64-16 and PG70-16 are used, and very rarely PG70-10. In colder regions, a PGXX-34 or PG4640 may be used, with the XX indicating the potential for the high-temperature grade to vary between 46 and 52°C from batch to batch. The numerical difference between grades is called the useful temperature range, or UTI. Typical paving-grade bitumen has a UTI greater than 86°C. Some grades have higher UTI values, such as PG76-22, PG70-22, PG64-28, PG64-34, PG58-34, and PG52-40. Such grades are less common but highly desirable because they cover a wider temperature range, offering greater flexibility and reliability in application. These grades are also offered at a premium due to the cost and difficulty associated with their manufacture, which typically involves approximately 1 to 3% by weight of a polymer such as styrene-butadiene styrene, or 0.5 to 1.0% PPA. High temperature grades greater than 76°C are unusual for pavement quality bitumen, but are not problematic if paired with low temperature grades that are sufficiently low (e.g., -16 or -22°C). Conversely, bitumen grades such as PG64-16 and PG70-10 have low UTIs of 80°C and are often considered less desirable. Such binders are also frequently affected by negative ATc values. Although the Performance Grade (PG) system for classifying bitumen is used mostly in North America and some other countries, all bitumen worldwide can be classified in this way, and therefore its use in this patent is not intended to exclude the application of the same examples to any particular region or geography. Many countries use some combination of penetration, softening point, and viscosity as the basis for classification (i.e., preparation grading or viscosity grading). For example, a Pen 50 / 70 grade (penetration at 25°C is between 50 and 70 dmm) would typically be graded as a PG64-22 in the PG system, and a Pen 70 / 100 grade would frequently be classified as a PG58-28. Other potential usage grades are Pen 40 / 60 which typically close to PG64-16 or a PG7016, and Pen 160 / 220 which is close to a PGXX-34. In the production of bituminous roofing shingles using roof flow blowing, a high softening point is targeted and controlled throughout the blowing process. The penetration of the resulting coating must exceed a specific minimum penetration value to ensure the flexibility and durability of the shingle coating. Based on the literature on gilsonite, mixing temperatures of 185 to 220 °C and mixing times of 4 to 6 hours are frequently required to fully incorporate gilsonite into bitumen. Such temperatures are higher than typical bitumen processing temperatures and can be detrimental to bitumen quality due to the volatilization of certain lower-boiling fractions that provide bitumen flexibility (i.e., lower molecular weight cyclic molecules as defined in the aromatic fraction). In the following examples using gilsonite, mixing times and temperatures as low as 1 hour at 155 °C and as high as 2 hours at 180 °C were used. The gilsonite used in the examples was a fine black powder produced by American Gilsonite. 100% of the material passed through a standard ASTM #16 sieve, with approximately 11% by weight retained on a #30 sieve, and approximately 65% ​​by weight retained on a #100 sieve. Example 1. Composition that includes oligomerized biorenewable oil and gilsonite. A sulfurized refined soybean oil was reacted with 7.0 wt% elemental sulfur at 160 °C for 19 h under nitrogen purging. The sulfurized refined soybean oil contained 70.8 wt% oligomers and is referred to herein as MO#1. MO#1 was blended with gilsonite at 155 °C using a table-type shearing low-shear drill mixer at 200 RPM for 1 h to form the binder composition. No bitumen was used in the binder composition. ζοηαηη / ζζηζ / Ε / γίΛΐ Table 1.

Furthermore, the composition can be easily blended with other bitumen to create a new grade, and it provides an efficient and thermally stable method for incorporating gilsonite into bitumen with less demanding mixing energy. Example 2. Composition that includes oligomerized biorenewable oil and gilsonite. A dilute sulfurized refined soybean oil was formed, comprising a mixture of MO#1 and refined soybean oil. This yielded an oil with approximately 45% oligomer content, hence designated MO#2. MO#2 and gilsonite were heated to 180°C and blended using a benchtop low-shear drill mixer at 500 RPM for 2 hours to form the binder composition. No bitumen was used in the binder composition. ζοηαηη / ζζηζ / Ε / γίΛΐ Table 2.

Example 3. Binding composition that includes biorenewable oil o1 igomerized, gilsonite and bitumen. A binder composition was formed that included gilsonite, a pure asphalt binder classified as PG64-22 (PG 64.88-24.7), and the previously identified sulfurized refined soybean oil. The components were mixed at 155 °C for 1 hour using a low-shear benchtop drill mixer at 200 RPM. Performance grade testing was performed in accordance with AASHTO M320.

It is used as both a base mix and a control and comparison base with the other mixes. The results show that increasing the gilsonite content (BB#1, #3, and #4 mixes) resulted in a significant increase in the high-temperature grade (O-DSR and R-DSR) and a deterioration in the low-temperature grade—in other words, a general hardening of the binder. Furthermore, the ATc values ​​become progressively more negative with increasing gilsonite content. In the case of Mix #5, a performance grade of PG8810 is achieved, which is not typical for a paving-grade binder due to excessive stiffness. On the other hand, the incorporation of MO#1 balances this trend across the plate in all the aforementioned properties. In the case of binder blend #5, the binder composition meets (and surpasses) the base and control bitumen (BB#1), while significantly improving low-temperature performance. The resulting PG64-34 grade is a highly superior grade that would meet the paving grade climatic requirements of most of North America. Furthermore, blends #6 and #7 also have larger, highly desirable portions of the typical performance temperature range of interest (64 to -34 °C), while incorporating high amounts of both gilsonite and oligomerized biorenewable oil. ζοηαηη / ζζηζ / Ε / γίΛΐ Example 4. Binding composition including oligomerized biorenewable oil, gilsonite, and precipitated propane bitumen (PPB) A binder composition was formed including MO#1, gilsonite, and a propane precipitated bitumen derived from the bottoms of a solvent deasphalting process. The components were blended into the bitumen at 155 °C for 1 hour using a low-shear benchtop drill mixer at 200 RPM. Performance grade testing was performed in accordance with AASHTO M320. Tables 4 and 5 show the resulting mixtures and performance grades. For binder blend #11, gilsonite was introduced using the binder composition previously identified as Binder Blend #1, which was gilsonite dissolved in oligomerized biorenewable oil MO#1. The resulting incorporation process significantly simplified the process, eliminating the need to incorporate powdered gilsonite and instead reducing the complexity of the multi-additive blending process to a simple two-binder mix, a very typical blending process for boosting paving-grade bitumen in the industry. The results show statistically similar rheological properties (penetration and softening points) between Blend #10 and Blend #11, confirming the equivalence of the resulting products. Table 4.

The binding composition that includes oligomerized biorenewable oil, gilsonite, and polyphosphoric acid-modified bitumen Binding compositions were formed that included M0#l, gilsonite, asphalt binder BB#1, and polyphosphoric acid (PPA). For binder mixture #12, bitumen was first blended with PPA, followed by the addition of oligomerized biorenewable oil and gilsonite. The components were mixed at 180 °C for 2 hours using a benchtop low-shear drill mixer at 500 RPM. However, the resulting mixture was a granular binder that was surprisingly non-sticky. It is hypothesized that the interaction between PPA and gilsonite may have resulted in rapid gelation of the gilsonite, preventing effective compatibilization with the oligomerized biorenewable oil. The material was noted to have exhibited interesting properties and may have potential industrial applications; however, it was deemed unsuitable for asphalt paving applications. To address this issue, for binder mixture #13, gilsonite was introduced by using the binder composition previously identified as binder mixture #1, which was gilsonite dissolved in oligomerized biorenewable oil MO#1. Due to the ease of incorporation of such a mixture compared to the direct use of gilsonite, the mixing temperatures and conditions were reduced compared to mixture #12, by mixing at 155 °C for 1 hour using a low-shear benchtop shear drill mixer at 200 RPM.The resulting mixture was smooth, appeared to be completely homogenized, and showed a significant increase in the softening point, highlighting the usefulness of the aforementioned aspect of this invention, in which the complete digestion of gilsonite in the oligomerized biorenewable oil provided the means for compatible and thermally stable incorporation of high quantities of gilsonite into the binder composition. The results demonstrate the synergistic impact of using PPA in conjunction with asphalt additives such as gilsonite to increase the binder modulus. ζοηαηη / ζζηζ / Ε / γίΛΐ Table 6.
