Abstract:
Disclosed herein are latex compositions and asphalt formulations comprising the latex compositions. In some embodiments, the latex compositions include a styrene-butadiene copolymer and polyphosphoric acid represented by the formula, Hn+2PnO3n+1, wherein n is an integer from 2 to 30. The latex composition can be used to prepare polymer-modified asphalt emulsions and hot mix asphalt compositions. The asphalt formulations can be prepared by contacting asphalt with a latex composition as described herein and a sulfur curing agent. Methods of coating a surface comprising applying an asphalt formulation as described herein to the surface are also disclosed.

Abstract:
The inventive technology, in at least one embodiment, may be described as a method of destabilizing an aqueous hydrocarbon emulsion comprising the steps of: effecting contact between a sorbent and said aqueous hydrocarbon emulsion; effecting relative motion between said sorbent and said aqueous hydrocarbon emulsion; and destabilizing (perhaps in continuous fashion) the aqueous hydrocarbon emulsion. Applications include but are not limited to oil spill clean up, manufacturing of emulsions, oil refinery and production operations (anywhere along the production chain).
Abstract:
Asphalt compositions comprising reclaimed asphalt and a rejuvenating agent are disclosed. The reclaimed asphalt comprises aggregate and an aged binder. The rejuvenating agent, which has a cyclic content of at least 5 wt.%, comprises an ester or ester blend derived from an acid selected from aromatic acids, fatty acids, fatty acid monomers, fatty acid dimers, fatty acid trimers, rosin acids, rosin acid dimers, and mixtures thereof. The rejuvenating agent revitalizes the aged bitumen binder of reclaimed asphalt and restores its physical properties to those of the original performance-grade bitumen. Improvements include desirable softening, low- temperature cracking resistance, better fatigue cracking resistance, good elevated temperature performance, improved miscibility, and restored temperature sensitivity. The rejuvenating agents enable the use of higher levels of recovered asphalt, particularly RAP, in asphalt mixtures, reduce binder and aggregate costs, and help the road construction industry reduce its reliance on virgin, non-renewable materials.
