Production of binding materials based on high-viscosity oils and natural bitumens

Abstract

© 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved. Due to the growing market demand for road bitumen, there is a need to increase the rate of its production. Among the promising technologies currently available, the oxidation of heavy hydrocarbon raw materials with air oxygen is the most optimal technology for producing bituminous binders. In turn, substandard oil reserves are suitable raw materials for this process. Thus, the study of the regularities between the composition of the oxidation products of ultra-viscous oil and the physicochemical properties of the oxidation conditions will contribute to the development of the binding materials production technology.
