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.
