The method for producing the black anticoagulation ice modifier of the invention is a method for producing the black anticoagulation ice modifier. The method comprises the following steps: a salt-storage particle preparation step of mixing and drying raw materials including metal salts and adsorptive substances in the presence of an organic solvent to obtain salt-storage particles; and a coating step, namely mixing the salt storage particles with an asphalt material and an elastomer in the presence of an organic solvent so that the asphalt material and the elastomer are present on the salt storage particles, and drying and granulating to obtain the black anti-freezing ice modifier.
The steps are specifically described below.
Salt-accumulating particle preparation step
In the salt-accumulating particle production step of the present invention, raw materials including a metal salt and an adsorptive substance are mixed and dried in the presence of an organic solvent to obtain salt-accumulating particles.
The organic solvent in this step may be any organic solvent. Specific examples of the organic solvent include formamide, trifluoroacetic acid, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetonitrile, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF), hexamethylphosphoramide, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, isopropanol, pyridine, tetramethylethylenediamine, acetone, triethylamine, N-butanol, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, methyl formate, tributylamine, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, chloroform, trioctylamine, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl ether, isopropyl ether, N-butyl ether, trichloroethylene, diphenyl ether, dichloromethane, toluene, carbon tetrachloride, carbon disulfide, cyclohexane, hexane. These organic solvents may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
The amount of the organic solvent used is 2 to 30 times, preferably 3 to 20 times, the total mass of the metal salt and the adsorptive substance from the viewpoint of easy production.
The mixing equipment used in this step is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected according to actual needs. Preferably, from the viewpoint of sufficiently contacting the metal salt and the adsorptive substance, the stirring speed may be 100-; the mixing time is 1 minute to 2 hours.
In some preferred embodiments, the salt-accumulating particle preparing step further comprises: mixing the metal salt and the adsorptive substance, and then adding an asphalt binder, mixing, drying, and granulating. In this case, not only can the obtained black anti-icing modifier have more excellent anti-icing property, sustained release property and durability, but also the production time of the black anti-icing modifier can be reduced to improve the productivity. In this case, the organic solvent used in the present step is a solvent capable of dissolving the asphalt binder. Meanwhile, in this case, the stirring speed when mixing the asphalt binder can be 500-3000r/min, and more preferably 800-2000 r/min; the mixing time in mixing the asphalt binder is 1 minute to 2 hours, and more preferably 5 minutes to 1 hour.
The drying temperature for removing the organic solvent used in this step is preferably 20 to 60 ℃, and from the viewpoint of reducing the production cost and facilitating mass production, it is preferable to dry at room temperature (e.g., 25 ℃). In preferred embodiments using a bituminous binder, the drying temperature for removing the organic solvent is generally below the melting point of the bituminous binder. Air blowing equipment may be used as needed during the drying process.
The size of the salt accumulation particles obtained in this step is not particularly limited, and preferably, the size of the salt accumulation particles is such that the particle size of the formed anti-freezing ice modifier is 5mm or less.
The metal salt, the adsorptive substance and the further bituminous binder used in this step have been described in detail above and will not be described in detail here.
Coating step
The coating step of the present invention is a step for causing a coating material to be present on the surface of the salt-storing particles.
Specifically, in the coating step, the salt-accumulating particles are mixed with an asphalt material and an elastomer in the presence of an organic solvent so that the asphalt material and the elastomer are present on the salt-accumulating particles, and the mixture is dried and granulated to obtain the black anti-freezing ice modifier.
Specific examples of the organic solvent in this step are the same as those in the salt-accumulating particle preparation step. The organic solvent used in this step may be the same as or different from the organic solvent used in the salt-accumulating particle preparation step. Preferably, the organic solvent in this step can dissolve the bituminous material and the elastomer.
Preferably, the raw material of the coating material may be dissolved in an organic solvent in advance from the viewpoint of sufficiently contacting the salt-accumulating particles and the coating material.
The mixing equipment used in this step is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected according to actual needs. Preferably, from the viewpoint of sufficiently contacting the salt-storage particles and the coating material, the mixing speed may be 100-; the mixing time is 0.5 minutes to 2 hours.
In some preferred embodiments, where the salt-accumulating particles comprise an asphalt binder, the mixing time is preferably from 0.5 to 5 minutes, more preferably from 1 to 4 minutes, to inhibit the loss of asphalt binder that may result from dissolution during this step while ensuring that the salt-accumulating particles are adequately coated with the coating material.
The bituminous material and the elastomer used in this step have been described in detail above and will not be described in detail here.
The drying temperature for removing the organic solvent is preferably 20 to 60 ℃, and from the viewpoint of reducing the production cost and facilitating mass production, it is preferable to dry at room temperature (about 25 ℃). Air blowing equipment may be used as needed during the drying process.
The shape of the black anti-freezing modifier is not particularly limited. After granulation, the particle size of the obtained black anti-freezing ice modifier is preferably 5mm or less, and more preferably 3mm or less, and thus even when the metal salt is gradually consumed, voids generated in the asphalt pavement do not impair the performance of the asphalt pavement.

Performance testing
Sustained release property
Placing the heated coarse and fine aggregates in a mixer, and properly mixing the coarse and fine aggregates by using a small shovel; then adding asphalt, starting a mixer to stir while inserting a mixing blade into the mixture to mix for 1-1.5 min; and (3) suspending mixing, adding the heated mineral powder and the anti-freezing modifier, continuing to mix until the mixture is uniform, and keeping the asphalt mixture within the required mixing temperature range (the standard total mixing time is 3min), thereby obtaining the anti-freezing asphalt mixture (the actual mixing amount of the black anti-freezing modifier is 5.25 mass%). Further, a marshall test piece of the anti-freezing asphalt mixture was prepared. The test piece was entirely soaked in purified water at room temperature for 20 days, and the concentration of anions derived from the metal salt in the water was measured every day. The anion measurement method selected varies depending on the kind of anion to be measured, and is a method well known in the art.
When the anion concentration in the water reaches a plateau, it is assumed that all of the salt that could be leached has been extracted. It is generally believed that the longer the time it takes to reach a plateau (hereinafter referred to as the equilibration time), the lower the peak concentration, which means that the more anti-freezing modifier remains in the mix, the better the sustained release.
The following table 1 shows exemplary results obtained by performing the above-described tests on example 1 and example 3. Since metal chloride was used as the metal salt in examples 1 and 3, the change of chloride ion in the solution was measured using a chloride ion content rapid tester.

Continue to watch
For each of examples and comparative examples, evaluation was performed based on the following criteria.
Very good: the equilibrium time is more than 15 days, and the peak concentration is extremely low.
O: the equilibrium time is more than 12 days and less than 15 days, and the peak concentration is low.
And (delta): the equilibrium time is more than 8 days and less than 12 days, and the peak concentration is lower.
X: the equilibration time was less than 8 days and the peak concentration was high.
Durability
And preparing a rut plate test piece of the anti-freezing asphalt mixture. In the process of preparing the test piece, the total weight of each rutting plate is 10500g, and the actual mixing amount of the black anti-freezing modifier is 5.25 mass percent, namely the content of the black anti-freezing modifier in each rutting test piece is 551.25 g.
In order to simulate the environment of a real asphalt pavement, an acceleration loading device is used for rolling on a track plate test piece, and meanwhile, a dynamic water simulation test is carried out on the track plate according to the annual average rainfall so as to determine the loss condition of the black anti-freezing modifier.
The test steps are as follows:
preparing three rut plates at each temperature, and soaking the rut plates in purified water at the temperature of-10 ℃, 0 ℃, 5 ℃, 15 ℃, 25 ℃ and 35 ℃ respectively;
secondly, spraying water for the rut plate for 10 times by using a spraying device simulating a real rainfall process according to the annual average rainfall of a test section area (72L) until the rainfall is reached;
measuring the total content of anions in the water after 10 times of water and calculating the residual amount of the black anti-icing modifier.
Further, the theoretical age of the black anti-freezing ice modifier that is continuously released at various temperatures is calculated as the annual loss.
The results obtained by carrying out the above-described test on example 3 are given in table 2 below. Since metal chloride was used as the metal salt in example 3, the change of chloride ion in the solution was measured using a rapid chloride ion content tester.
