2、rd Method of Test for Quantitative Determination of the Percentage of Lime in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) AASHTO Designation: TP 72-08 (2013)11. SCOPE 1.1. This method covers the quantitative determination of the percentage of lime in hot mix asphalt (HMA) by calculation of the calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2,

3、 recovered from a sample of the mixture. A specimen is obtained through drilling into the HMA and collecting the drilling dust. The specimen is subjected to an acid filter boil and wash and is analyzed using either Atomic Absorption (AA) or Ion Exchange Chromatography (IEC). 1.2. This standard may i

It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of

If the coarse aggregate contains limestone, the limestone aggregate will be dissolved by the acid used in this method and can yield

7、 an unrealistically high result. If limestone is present in a relatively minor amount, it is possible to run a background analysis on the raw aggregate. An adjustment can then be made based on the background analysis in order to better approximate the actual results. If the aggregate in the HMA cont

8、ains an appreciable amount of limestone, this test method is not suitable. Depending upon the concentration, the calcium content of any added lime could be masked by the aggregate concentration. This effect would lead to a significant error in overestimation of the amount of lime added. 2014 by the

Test specimens may be either laboratory-mixed HMA or sampled from HMA pavements. 5.2. Pavement specimens shall be taken from

14、pavements with a core drill, diamond or carborundum saw, or by other suitable means. Specimens will be further prepared as noted in Section 6.1. 5.3. Specimens shall be free from foreign materials such as foundation material, soil, paper, foil, etc. 5.4. If the core contains more than one pavement l

15、ayer, it is recommended that the layers be separated by sawing or other suitable means. 6. PROCEDURE 6.1. Preparation of Specimen: 6.1.1. A specimen is obtained from the drilling dust of a pavement core or laboratory-mixed HMA sample. Stand the core on a thick piece of wood and use a heavy-duty rota

16、ry hammer with a 3/8-in. carbide bit to drill into the sample. Note 1A rotary hammer that utilizes SDS, SDS Max, or spline shank bits is recommended. Devices utilizing straight shank bits have been found to be insufficient. Depending upon the number of samples, it may be worthwhile to make a frame t

Discard any lumps of the core that may break off. 2014 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Offic

Place the dust in a 250-mL conical flask. Add 100 mL of 4 percent acetic acid and boil the mixture for 30 to 45 min. Filter the m

19、ixture through a filter funnel (Buchner or equivalent) and wash the insoluble dust with distilled water. 6.1.4. Transfer the filtrate to a 250-mL volumetric flask. Rinse the filter flask with distilled water and add the washings to the contents of the volumetric flask. Add distilled water to the fla

20、sk until the total volume of its contents reaches 250 mL. Place a stopper in the flask, and shake it well to mix the contents. 6.1.5. Use a pipette (an Eppendorf automatic pipette or equivalent) accurate to 0.1 mL to take a 1.0-mL aliquot from the volumetric flask, and transfer this specimen to a 10

21、0-mL volumetric flask. Fill the flask with distilled water until the total volume of its contents reaches 100 mL. Place a stopper in the flask, and shake it well to mix the contents. 6.2. Analyze the drilling dust to determine the level of calcium ions present: 6.2.1. Run AA Spectrometry or IEC (acc

22、ording to the manufacturers recommendations) on the specimen prepared in Section 6.1.5. Run calcium standards before and after the specimen analysis. If using AA Spectrometry, do not add lanthanum salts. Note 3Theories exist that calcium is subject to interference with AA Spectrometry and this condi

23、tion can be overcome by adding lanthanum salts. However, in this procedure, it has been found to provide an artificially high lime result. 6.2.2. The calcium ion concentration in the specimen should be in the range of 1 to 5 mg/L. If the concentration is outside this range, it indicates the possible

24、 presence of limestone aggregate (see Section 3.2). 7. CALCULATION OF RESULTS 7.1. Calculate the percentage of lime in the HMA as follows: L = C 46.25/10 Wd (100 AC)/100)/Lc(1) where: L = percentage of lime; C = concentration of calcium from AA or IEC (mg/L); Wd= mass of the dust, g; AC = percentage

25、 of the binder in the mix, determined by T 308; and Lc= percentage of calcium in the lime from ASTM C 25 to the nearest 0.001 (e.g., 0.955). 7.1.1. Derivation of Equation 1: The calcium content of the original solution is: C 100/4 mg/L or C 25. Hydrated lime is calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2with a molecu

26、lar weight of 40 + 2(16 + 1) = 74. To convert from mg/L of calcium to mg/L of lime multiply by 74/40 or 1.85. Therefore, the hydrated lime content is: C 25 1.85 mg/L or C 46.25 mg/L Hydrated lime is added to the mix as a percentage of the aggregate; therefore, the mass of the aggregate in the dust s

27、pecimen is included as 1000 Wd (100 AC)/100 in grams or 10 Wd (100 AC)/100 in milligrams. 2014 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved.
