    摘要: A bio-modified bitumen includes bitumen including organic compounds, and a bio-oil including phenolic compounds and derived from wood biomass. An organic compound includes a volatile organic compound. A phenolic compound forms hydrogen bonds, covalent bonds, or both with an organic compound in the bitumen. Suitable phenolic compounds include phenol, 2,6-dimethylphenol, 2,6-dimethoxyphenol, benzene-1,2-diol, 4-methylbenzene-1,2-diol, 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol, 4-ethenyl-2-methoxyphenol, and 2-methoxy-4-(prop-2-en-1-yl)phenol.

    摘要: Preparing a modified bitumen composition includes combining bitumen with elemental sulfur to yield a mixture, and crystallizing the elemental sulfur on a surface of the bitumen to yield a layer of elemental sulfur on the surface of the bitumen. The mixture typically includes about 5 wt % to about 15 wt % of the elemental sulfur. A modified bitumen composition includes A modified bitumen composition includes bitumen and elemental sulfur on a surface of the bitumen. The modified bitumen composition includes about 5 wt % to about 15 wt % of the elemental sulfur.

    摘要: Assessing an interaction between solid particles and a thermoplastic material in which the solid particles are dispersed includes combining a thermoplastic material with a multiplicity of solid particles to yield a heterogeneous mixture, processing the heterogeneous mixture to yield an unconditioned sample, conditioning the unconditioned sample to yield a conditioned sample, subjecting the conditioned sample to a ramping shear rate from an initial shear rate to a final shear rate, assessing a viscosity of the conditioned sample at a plurality of shear rates between the initial shear rate and the final shear rate, and assessing a value of a slope of a shear-thinning region for the unconditioned sample using a power-law equation.

    摘要: Preparing a microbially desulfurized crumb rubber includes combining microorganisms capable of breaking crosslinked sulfur bonds, sulfur-containing crumb rubber, and a salt solution to yield a mixture; combining a buffer with the mixture to yield a buffered mixture, thereby adjusting a pH of the mixture; providing oxygen to the buffered mixture; incubating the buffered mixture for a length of time to yield a microbially desulfurized mixture; combining the microbially desulfurized mixture with bitumen to yield a precursor; and heating the precursor to yield the microbially desulfurized crumb rubber. The microbially desulfurized crumb rubber can be combined with bitumen to yield a modified bitumen. The modified bitumen can be combined with asphalt to yield a modified asphalt.

    摘要: Modifying siliceous material includes combining siliceous material and bio-oil to yield a mixture, and polymerizing the bio-oil in the mixture to yield hydrophobic siliceous material, wherein a hydrophobicity of the hydrophobic siliceous material exceeds a hydrophobicity of the siliceous material. The resulting composition includes a multiplicity of hydrophobic particles, wherein each hydrophobic particle comprises a polymeric bio-oil-derived coating on a core comprising siliceous material, and a hydrophobicity of the polymeric bio-oil-derived coating exceeds a hydrophobicity of the corresponding core.
