Toluene (3.000 mL) is added toeach reaction vial to dissolve the asphalt constituting threesolutions

Each reaction vialis separately placed into a 250 mL water-jacketed reactionvessel (Fig. 1) to provide temperature control of the system.The sample circulation loop is made by pumping the solutionthrough a short path length quartz flow cell housed i

Valuesof %T are observed to increase with time to the flocculationonset point, after which values of %T are observed to decrease.The time required to reach flocculation onset tfmultiplied bythe titrant flow rate gives the titrant flocculation volume VT.4.4 Given the wei

22、 Values of C plotted along an x-axis versus FRplotted along a y-axis result in a linear regression line (Fig. 3).This line is extrapolated to both axes. The point at which theline intercepts the x-axis is defined as Cmin. The point at whichthe line intercepts the y-axis is defined as FRmax. These tw

23、ovalues are used to calculate the three Heithaus compatibilityparameters, designated pa, po, and P. The parameter pa, thepeptizability of asphaltenes, is defined as the quantity (1 FRmax). The parameter po, the peptizing power of maltenes, isdefined as the quantity FRmax(1/Cmin) + 1. The parameter P

24、,the overall compatibility of the system, is defined as po/(1 pa), or (1/Cmin+ 1).5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is intended primarily as a laboratorydiagnostic tool for estimating the colloidal stability of bitumenasphalt, asphalt cross blends, aged asphalt, and heavy oilresiduum. Hist

25、orically, bituminous asphalt and heavy oil re-sidua have been modeled as colloidal suspensions in which apolar associated asphaltene moiety (the dispersed phase) issuspended in a maltene solvent moiety (the dispersing me-dium) (refer to Test Methods D3279, D4124, and D5546 forfurther definition of a

26、sphalt fraction materials). The extent towhich these two moieties remain in state of peptization is ameasure of the compatibility (colloidal stability) of the suspen-sion. Compatibility influences the physical properties of thesematerials, including rheological properties, for example, phaseangle an

27、d viscosity. This test method and other similar testmethods, along with the classical Heithaus test, measures theoverall compatibility of a colloidal system by determining aFIG. 1 Automated Titration ApparatusD6703 132parameter referred to as the state of peptization, P. The valueof P commonly varie

28、s between 2.5 to 10 for unmodified or neatasphalts. Materials calculated to have low values of P aredesignated incompatible. Materials calculated to have high Pvalues are designated compatible. Values in P are calculated asa function of two parameters that relate to the peptizability ofthe asphalten

29、e moiety (the asphaltene peptizability parameter,pa) and the solvent power of the maltene moiety (the maltenepeptizing power parameter, po). Values of paand poarecalculated as functions of the quantities Cminand FRmax. Valuesof Cminand FRmaxare determined from experimental variables,the weight of as
