The invention discloses a method for evaluating the
flame retardant efficiency of
asphalt, belonging to the technical field of an
asphalt pavement and solving the problem that a method for evaluating the
flame retardant efficiency of the
asphalt is difficultly accurately quantified by using an existing
flame retardant. According to the method, based on the combination of a
thermogravimetry-
differential thermal analysis synchronous test and a
thermal analysis kinetics theoretical equation, the flame retardant efficiency of a flame retardant to the asphalt is quantificationally evaluated. The method comprises the steps of: respectively testing the asphalt and prepared flame-retardant asphalt by adopting a
thermogravimetry-differential thermal analyzer to obtain
test data such as TGs (Thermal Gravity), DTGs (differential
thermogravimetry), DTAs (
Differential Thermal Analysis) and
char yields; secondly, drawing curves of 1n[g(alpha) / T2] to 1 / T according to the
thermal analysis kinetics theoretical equation, and determining
reaction mechanism functions g(alpha) in the thermolysis process of the asphalt and the prepared flame-retardant asphalt through
linear fitting of a least square method; thirdly, drawing a straight line of the 1n[g(alpha) / T2] to the 1 / T, solving
kinetics parameter activation energies E and frequency factors A through a slope and an intercept; finally, comparing the E and the A of the asphalt with the E and the A of the prepared flame-retardant asphalt so as to completely and accurately evaluate the flame-retardant efficiency of the flame retardants with different types and
doping quantities to the asphalt.
