Construction asphalt prepared by chemical treatment of deoiled asphalt.

The 30# construction asphalt was prepared by chemical condensation of deoiled asphalt (DOA) from vacuum residue propane deasphalting in this study. It decreases the penetration and improves the softening point of DOA effectively based on the chemical condensation technology from experimental results. The group components of DOA were regulated through the addition of furfural extract oil dewaxed oil (DWO) with high content of aromatic components. Therefore, the ductility of condensed asphalt still meet the requirements of construction asphalt in the condition of decreased penetration and increased softening point. The 30# construction asphalt satisfies the standard requirements of the GB/T494-2010 by chemical condensation technology through the effective control of condensation degree with the appropriate blending proportion of DWO. The binary linear mathematical models of the properties of condensed asphalt have been established by regression analysis of the experimental data. This model had the high accuracy and excellent practical values. The properties of condensed asphalt could be accurately predicted and the construction asphalt production cost could be reasonably controlled. In addition, there was little change in the softening point of the construction asphalt pre and post thermal storage, which illustrated that the 30# construction asphalt obtained by chemical condensation of DOA has good thermal storage stability.
