Summary 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

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
11、the asphalt from the solvent 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.NO

23、3.1 Trichloroethylene and Methylene ChlorideThe sol-vent for extracting the asphalt from mixtures should bereagent-grade trichloroethylene or methylene chloride. A tech-nical grade of trichloroethylene may be used, but it is recom-mended that for each new supply of solvent, a blank should berun on a
24、n asphalt with known properties.6.3.2 Normal Propyl Bromides (nPB)The solvent forextracting the asphalt from the mixtures should conform toSpecification D6368. Because there may be some interactionsdue to differences in nPB products, it is recommended that fora new supply of solvent, a blank should
25、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 are toxic to various degrees.Consult the current Threshold Limit Concentration Committeeof th
26、e American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hy-gienists4for the current threshold limit values.7.2 These solvents in the presence of heat and moisture maybe hydrolyzed to form acids that are extremely corrosive tocertain metals, particularly when subject to contact overlengthy periods of time.
27、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 hightemperatures such as contact with flames, hot glowing surfaces,or electric arcs can produce decompositi
28、on 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 indecomposed solvent may harden an asphalt during the extrac-tion and recovery test.4Available from A

This includes the procedure forcentrifuging the solution from a previous extraction.9. Procedure9.1 Heat the oil bath to a temperature of 140 6 3 C 285 65 F. Circulate cold water thr
31、ough the condenser.9.2 Apply a vacuum of 5.3 6 0.7 kPa 40 6 5mmofHgbelow 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 nitrogen or carbondioxide flow of approximately 500 mL/min through
32、the system(Note 4). 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 rate. The correct rateof evaporation can be observed as a stea
33、dy controlled stream ofcondensed solvent being collected in the recovery flask.NOTE 4The vacuum and nitrogen or carbon dioxide flow values mayneed to be adjusted depending on the location. Also, low flow values arerecommended at the beginning of the rotary process when the samplevolume is large beca
34、use of the possibility of backflow into the vacuumsystem. The possibility of backflow 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 low enough so that more solution may beadded, discontinue the ni
35、trogen or carbon dioxide flow. Drawthe remaining asphalt solution from the sample container intothe distillation flask and readjust the nitrogen or carbon dioxideflow (Note 5).NOTE 5The equipment may be modified to allow a continuous flow ofsolution from the sample container into the distillation fl
36、ask 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 been distilled from theasphalt and no obvious condensation is occur
37、ring 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 6 5 mm of Hg belowatmospheric pressure. Increase nitrogen or carbon dioxide flowto approximately 600 mL/min and the spin rate of the distilla-ti
38、on flask to about 45 rpm (Note 6). Hold or reduce vacuum iffoaming or a bubbly formation occurs. When foamingsubsides, apply maximum vacuum. Maintain this condition for10 6 1 min.NOTE 6It is recommended that the flask be immersed for up to 2 minbefore slowly applying the vacuum.NOTE 7A faster flask
39、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 8Due to the cooling effect of the increased nitrogen or carbon
40、dioxide 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 150 to 155 C 300 to 310 Fis satisfactory for this purpose.9.5 At the end of the 10-min period, remove the distil
41、lationflask from the apparatus and wipe the flask clean of oil. Pourthe asphalt into a proper size container. If needed, the flask maybe inverted and placed into an oven at 165 6 5 C 329 610 F for 10 to 15 min to cause the asphalt to flow into thecontainer. The asphalt should not be allowed to be di
42、stributedover the interior of the flask.9.6 Portions of the recovered 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 dete
43、rmined in accordance with Test Methods D2939and reported with other test data on the recovered asphalt.NOTE 9Ash contents of recovered asphalts greater than 1 % mayaffect the accuracy of the penetration, ductility, softening point, orviscosity tests.NOTE 10Results reported by the AASHTO Materials Re
44、ferenceLaboratory for proficiency samples from 1992 to 1996 indicate that thebetween-laboratory precision (1S%) ranges from 16 to 30 % for penetra-tion of recovered asphalt, 10 to 22 % for kinematic viscosity (135 C275 F), and 16 to 45 % for viscosity at 60 C 140 F. These ranges aresignificantly lar
45、ger than reported for testing original asphalts.10.
