Summar

6、y of Practice3.1 The solution of solvent and asphalt from a prior extrac-tion is distilled by partially immersing the rotating distillationflask of the rotary evaporator in a heated oil bath while thesolution is subjected to a partial vacuum and a flow of nitrogengas or carbon dioxide gas. The recov

7、ered asphalt can then besubjected to testing as required.4. Significance and Use4.1 In order to determine the characteristics of the asphalt inan asphalt paving mixture, it is necessary to extract the asphaltfrom the aggregate by means of a suitable solvent and then torecover the asphalt from the so

8、lvent without significantlychanging the asphalts properties. The asphalt recovered fromthe solvent by this practice can be tested using the samemethods as for the original asphalt cement, and comparisonsbetween the properties of the original and recovered asphaltcan be made.5. Apparatus5.1 Rotary Ev

9、aporator (see Fig. 1), equipped with a distil-lation flask, a variable speed motor capable of rotating thedistillation flask at a rate of at least 50 rpm, condenser, solventrecovery flask, and heated oil bath. The angle of the distillationflask from the horizontal to the bath is set at approximately

10、 15.The distillation flask (Note 1), when fully immersed, should beat a depth of approximately 40 mm (1.5 in.).7NOTE 1A flask having a 2000 mL capacity is recommended.5.2 Manometer or Vacuum Gage, suitable for measuring thespecified vacuum.5.3 Gas Flowmeter, capable of indicating a gas flow of up to

16、r an equivalent. The flash point is determinedin accordance with Test Method D 92.6.3 Solvents:6.3.1 Trichloroethylene and Methylene ChlorideThe sol-vent for extracting the asphalt from mixtures should be reagentgrade trichloroethylene or methylene chloride. A technicalgrade of trichloroethylene may

17、 be used, but it is recommendedthat for each new supply of solvent, a blank should be run onan asphalt with known properties.6.3.2 Normal Propyl Bromides (nPB)The solvent forextracting the asphalt from the mixtures should conform toSpecification D 6368. Because there may be some interactionsdue to d

18、ifferences in nPB products, it is recommended that fora new supply of solvent, a blank should be run on an asphaltwith known properties.7. Precautions7.1 CautionThe solvents listed in 6.3 should be used onlyunder a hood or with an effective surface exhaust system in awell ventilated area, since they

19、 are toxic to various degrees.Consult the current Threshold Limit Concentration Committeeof the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hy-gienists8for the current threshold limit values.7.2 These solvents in the presence of heat and moisture maybe hydrolyzed to form acids that are extremely

20、corrosive tocertain metals, particularly when subject to contact overlengthy periods of time. Proper precautions should be taken tonot allow these solvents to remain in small quantities in theeffluent tanks of aluminum vacuum extractors.7.3 Exposure of these solvents or their vapors to hightemperatu

21、res such as contact with flames, hot glowing surfaces,or electric arcs can produce decomposition products such ashydrogen chloride. Steel drums containing these solventsshould be stored in a cool, dry location, kept tightly sealed, andopened as infrequently as possible. The hydrogen chloride indecom

22、posed solvent may harden an asphalt during the extrac-tion and recovery test.8. Sample Preparation8.1 The sample shall be obtained and handled in accordancewith Test Method D 1856. This includes the procedure forcentrifuging the solution from a previous extraction.9. Procedure9.1 Heat the oil bath t

23、o a temperature of 140 6 3C (285 65F). Circulate cold water through the condenser.9.2 Apply a vacuum of 5.3 6 0.7 kPa (40 6 5mmHg)below atmospheric pressure and draw approximately 600 mLof asphalt solution from the sample container into the distilla-tion flask by way of the sample line. Begin a nitr

24、ogen or carbondioxide flow of approximately 500 mL/min through the system(Note 3). Begin rotating the distillation flask (at approximately40 rpm) and lower the flask into the oil bath. Initially theimmersion depth of the flask will be determined by the need toachieve a controlled solvent evaporation

25、 rate. The correct rateof evaporation can be observed as a steady controlled stream ofcondensed solvent being collected in the recovery flask.NOTE 3The vacuum and nitrogen or carbon dioxide flow values mayneed to be adjusted depending on the location. Also, low flow values arerecommended at the begi

26、nning of the rotary process when the samplevolume is large because of the possibility of back flow into the vacuumsystem. The possibility of back flow can also be minimized by regulatingthe depth of immersion of the flask.9.3 When the amount of asphalt solution within the distil-lation flask appears

27、 low enough so that more solution may beadded, discontinue the nitrogen or carbon dioxide flow. Drawthe remaining asphalt solution from the sample container intothe distillation flask and readjust the nitrogen or carbon dioxideflow (Note 4).NOTE 4The equipment may be modified to allow a continuous f

28、low ofsolution from the sample container into the distillation flask such that thevolume in the distillation flask is maintained at approximately 600 mL.The nitrogen or carbon dioxide flow is not started until all the solution hasentered the distillation flask.9.4 When the bulk of the solvent has be

29、en distilled from theasphalt and no obvious condensation is occurring on thecondenser, immerse the flask to the recommended maximumimmersion depth of approximately 40 mm (1.5 in.). Slowlyapply a vacuum of 80.0 6 0.7 kPa (600 65 mm Hg) belowatmospheric pressure. Increase nitrogen or carbon dioxide fl

30、owto approximately 600 mL/min and the spin rate of the distilla-tion flask to about 45 rpm (Note 5). to 2 min delay beforeapplying the vacuum is recommended. Hold or reduce vacuumif foaming or a bubbly formation occurs. When foamingsubsides apply maximum vacuum. Maintain this condition for15 6 1 min

31、.NOTE 5A faster flask spin rate exposes more surface area of theasphalt and, hence, dislodges more traces of solvent from the asphalt. Therotation speed of the flask may also be varied or the flask rotation may bestopped to enhance the removal of solvent.NOTE 6Due to the cooling effect of the increa

32、sed nitrogen or carbondioxide flow, an increase in the temperature of the oil bath is generallyneeded to maintain a constant sample temperature. Experience has shownthat a typical oil bath temperature range of 300 to 315F (148.9 to157.2C) is satisfactory for this purpose.9.5 At the end of the 15 min

33、 period, remove the distillationflask from the apparatus and wipe the flask clean of oil.

34、the asphalt into a proper size container. If needed, the flask maybe inverted and placed into an oven at 165 6 1C (329 6 2F)for 10 to 15 min to cause the asphalt to flow into the container.The asphalt should not be allowed to be distributed over theinterior of the flask.9.6 Portions of the recovered

35、 asphalt, while still in a liquidstate, can be taken for penetration, softening point, ductility,and kinematic and absolute viscosity determinations as re-quired. If ash content determinations are to be conducted, theyshall be determined in accordance with Methods D 2939 andreported with other test

36、data on the recovered asphalt.NOTE 7Ash contents of recovered asphalts greater than 1 % mayaffect the accuracy of the penetration, ductility, softening point, orviscosity tests.NOTE 8Results reported by the AASHTO Materials Reference Labo-ratory for proficiency samples from 1996 to 1992 indicate tha

37、t thebetween-laboratory precision (1S%) ranges from 16 to 30 % for penetra-tion of recovered asphalt, 10 to 22 % for kinematic viscosity (135C), and16 to 45 % for viscosity at 60C. These ranges are significantly larger thanreported for testing original asphalts.10. Keywords10.1 bituminous paving mix
