The invention relates to a new method for researching the
asphalt thermal decomposition behavior by deepening into the
asphalt component level, belongs to the field of fire disaster safety and solves the problem that the current
asphalt thermal decomposition behavior research is difficultly thorough. The method comprises the steps of: firstly, preparing component test samples, determining component content, testing the
thermal decomposition property of asphalt and four components thereof by adopting
differential scanning calorimetry-
infrared spectroscopy technology, acquiring the thermal
decomposition test data of all components in the asphalt, analyzing the thermal
decomposition gradient distribution character of all the component and producing
smoke ingredient and release rule; secondly, calculating the
thermal analysis kinetic parameters of all the components according to the
Arrhenius equation, and establishing a thermal
decomposition kinetic model; finally, testing the
microstructure, components and content of residues of the thermally-decomposed components by adopting a transmission
electron microscope and aphotoelectron
spectroscopy instrument, researching the thermal decomposition behavior of all the components in asphalt, and comparing with the asphalt
test sample test results, and revealing the asphalt thermal decomposition mechanism. The method can fundamentally reveal the thermal decomposition behavior of asphalt under the high-temperature environment.
