Description

Cold mixing cold-application normal temperature pitch of a kind of modification and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The invention belongs to Expressway Pavement Material field, be specifically related to cold mixing cold-application normal temperature pitch of a kind of modification and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Driving comfort level is the basic demand of people's road pavement quality, and traditional cement concrete pavement snappiness is poor, damage is serious, maintenance is large.Bituminous pavement has good road-ability and excellent use properties, and construction speed is fast, easy to maintenance; Bituminous pavement can reduce noise, the dust pollution that driving causes simultaneously, has been widely used in urban road, motorway etc.
In China, what overwhelming majority bituminous pavement was used is hot-mix asphalt mixture, limitation due to hot-mix asphalt mixture self, brought a series of technical barriers to the construction of bituminous pavement: 1. hot-mix asphalt mixture requires pitch and aggregate to have higher temperature when mixing and stirring, therefore the production of hot-mix asphalt mixture is more special to mixing and stirring with the requirement of processing units, causes its manufacturing and processing equipment price generally higher; During 2. due to pavement construction, the temperature of asphalt is had to higher requirement equally, long distance transportation can not; 3. in temperature lower season, hot asphalt material is used difficulty, causes the road surface of damage to can not get repairing timely, the safety and comfort that directly impact is driven a vehicle and the work-ing life of road.
The exploitation of cold mixing cold-laid asphalt pavement technology will fundamentally improve these technical barriers that exist in hot asphalt technology.Meanwhile, along with the raising of living standards of the people, people are more and more higher to the requirement of urban air-quality, and cold mixing cold-laid asphalt pavement technology can not only in use reduce road surface airborne dust, can also in construction, reduce the pollution to atmospheric environment.But cold mixing cold-application material mostly relies on import, and it is expensive, and user is difficult to bear, cannot in engineering, use in a large number; Actively develop the research of cold mixing cold laid asphaltic compound compounding process, really have very important meaning.
The cold mixing cold laid asphaltic of modification at present generally refers to polymer modified asphalt, also a lot of for the type of polymer of modification.According to the difference of properties-correcting agent, generally be divided three classes: the one, thermoplastic elastomer class, it is mainly styrenic block copolymer, as styrene-butadiene one vinylbenzene (SBS), vinylbenzene one isoprene one vinylbenzene (SIS), vinylbenzene one polyethylene/butyl one polyethylene (segmented copolymer such as SE/SB, because it has the structure and properties of rubber and resin concurrently, therefore also referred to as rubber tree lipid).The 2nd, rubber-like, wherein using maximum is styrene-butadiene rubber(SBR) (SBR) and chloroprene rubber (CR).The 3rd, type thermoplastic resin, as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene, ethene one vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) etc. were all employed in the modification of road bitumen.The common feature of this analog thermoplastic resin is heating post softening, and cure hard when cooling, so can obviously improve the high-temperature stability of asphaltic binder.Conventional cold mixing cold laid asphaltic properties-correcting agent is mainly SBS and SBR at present.
CN101555354 the invention discloses a kind of preparation method of Crumber rubber modified asphalt, comprise steps A: 8~12% SBS, 75~85% rubber powder, 7~13% PE are uniformly mixed, wherein, the weight percent sum of SBS, rubber powder, PE is 100%, in rubber powder, the content of waste Crumb rubber accounts for the more than 50% of total rubber powder, makes waste rubber composite modifier; Step B: first matrix pitch is heated to 150~165 ℃, then add waste rubber composite modifier to form asphalt, wherein, the content of waste rubber composite modifier accounts for 5~20% of total Crumber rubber modified asphalt, by high speed shear instrument, undertaken after high speed shear to asphalt is uniformly dispersed, adding stablizer, maintain the temperature at 160~180 ℃, and continue to shear 20~30 minutes, make Crumber rubber modified asphalt.This rubber modified bitumen is owing to adding SBS, and cost increases, and easily produces peeling phenomenon.
CN102786804 discloses a kind of polymer asphalt modifier that can mix and stir, pave, roll under the temperature condition of-10 ℃~60 ℃, contains weight part and be 25~50 component A and 75~50 component B; Described component A is mainly made by the raw material of following weight part: 15~30 parts of polyethylene, 15~30 parts of polypropylene, 5~10 parts of poly-propionic acid amide resins of methyl, 1~3 part of glycerol; Described B component is mainly made by the raw material of following weight part: 15~30 parts of Stockholm tars, 5~15 parts of coumarone indene resins, 3~7 parts of modified phenolic resinss, 35~65 parts of rubber powders.This modifying asphalt complicated process of preparation, cost is high.
The prior art of above-mentioned disclosure, comes with some shortcomings, as current conventional cold mixing cold laid asphaltic properties-correcting agent mainly be take SBS and SBR as main, and complicated process of preparation, cost is expensive; The prior art that the waste old of take is asphalt modifier is very complicated to the processing of rubber modified asphalt, and cost is high, or rubber content is higher, causes the adhesivity of pitch and fine aggregate to reduce, and antistripping is poor.
Summary of the invention
