Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of solid waste recovery and provides a method for efficiently and conveniently recovering asphalt on the basis of a small amount of an asphalt mixture. The method comprises the following steps: S1, taking an asphalt mixture sample, adding water, and performing ultrasonic cleaning to wash away impurities from the surface of the sample; S2, placing the impurity-removed and dried sample in a mixed solvent for soaking for 20-40 min until the surface of an aggregate is not coated with asphalt, the mixed solvent comprising 1,1-diethoxyethane and methyl tert-butyl ether; and S3, performing vacuum filtration and centrifugation on the mixture in step S2 to separate out a supernatant, placing the supernatant in a fume hood for preliminary volatilization and then in an air blast drying oven to evaporate the solvent at 60-105ºC to obtain recovered asphalt. By means of the compounding of low-boiling solvents 1,1-diethoxyethane and methyl tert-butyl ether, combined with subsequent vacuum filtration, centrifugation and volatilization treatment, the present invention realizes an efficient and convenient method for recovering asphalt from the asphalt mixture. Compared with the existing Abson method and rotary evaporator method, the method has the advantages of high fidelity of recovered asphalt and no organic solvent residue.
