Investigation of UV Absorber Residue Improving Aging Properties of Bitumen

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ultraviolet (UV) absorber residue was used to modify bitumen. Effects of UV absorber residue on thermo-oxidative and UV aging properties of bitumen were evaluated by conventional physical properties and SARA (saturates, aromatics, resins and bitumenenes) analysis. The results showed that the viscosity aging index (VAI) and softening point increment (SPI) of bitumen decreased significantly due to introduction of the UV absorber residue, and the ductility retention rate (DRR) was evidently higher compared to the pristine bitumen. SARA show that UV absorber residue can effectively restrain the gelatinization of bitumen resulted from aging. As a consequence, the UV absorber residue modified bitumen displays enhanced aging resistance properties, which can be attributed to the physical sorption of activated carbon to lighter components in the thermo-oxidative aging process and the absorption of UV absorption residue to the ultraviolet light in the process of UV aging.
