How to add bitumen emulsifier

There are many types of bitumen emulsifiers, and there are many classification methods. For specific classifications, please refer to previous articles. The raw materials required for the production of emulsion bitumen are: bitumen, water and bitumen emulsifier. High-standard emulsion bitumen requires adding additives and adjusting acid. According to whether acid adjustment is needed in the emulsion bitumen production process, it can be divided into two categories: emulsion bitumen that requires acid adjustment and emulsion bitumen that does not require acid adjustment.

There are many types of bitumen emulsifiers, and there are many classification methods. For specific classifications, please refer to previous articles. The raw materials required for the production of emulsion bitumen are: bitumen, water and bitumen emulsifier. High-standard emulsion bitumen requires adding additives and adjusting acid. According to whether acid adjustment is needed in the emulsion bitumen production process, it can be divided into two categories: emulsion bitumen that requires acid adjustment and emulsion bitumen that does not require acid adjustment.
1. The production process for producing emulsion bitumen that does not require acid adjustment is to add bitumen and emulsifier aqueous solution through equipment to produce emulsion bitumen.
Refer to the recommended dosage on the packaging barrel to add emulsifier. For example: the addition amount of bitumen emulsifier is 0.6%-0.8%, that is, 6-8 kg of bitumen emulsifier is needed to produce one ton of emulsion bitumen. The recommended amount of emulsifier addition in initial production is 8 kg. (Later, it can be based on the finished product. The stability can be adjusted by itself.) To produce emulsion bitumen with a solid content of 50, 16 kg of emulsifier is added to one ton of water at about 70°C. After the addition of the bitumen emulsifier is completed, turn on the soap tank stirring device, stir evenly, and turn on the soap pump to produce emulsion bitumen.
2. An additional step in the production process of producing emulsion bitumen for micro-surfacing construction that requires acid adjustment is to adjust the pH value in the emulsifier aqueous solution. At this time, the addition amount of bitumen emulsifier is 1.8%-2.5%. It is recommended to add 2.5% emulsifier for initial production. For emulsion bitumen with a solid content of 60, 1 ton of water can produce 2.5 tons of emulsion bitumen, that is, adding 2.5*25=62.5 kg of emulsifier to 1 ton of water. Then, adjust the acid as required to adjust the pH value to 2.0-2.5. You need to use pH test paper to adjust the acidity. After the emulsifier and hydrochloric acid are added, stir evenly to start producing emulsion bitumen.

    Bitumen decanter equipment can be placed in a complex system as an independent unit, replacing the existing heat source de-barreling method, or in parallel as a core component of a large set of equipment, or it can work independently to meet the requirements of small-scale construction operations.
    The Sinoroader bitumen decanter device is mainly composed of a de-barreling box, a lifting mechanism, a hydraulic thruster and an electrical control system. The box is divided into two chambers, the upper chamber is a barreled bitumen melting chamber, and heating coils are evenly distributed around it. The heating pipe and the bitumen barrel mainly exchange heat in a radiation manner to achieve the purpose of bitumen de-barreling. Several guide rails are the tracks for the bitumen barrel to enter. The lower chamber is mainly to continue heating the bitumen removed from the barrel to make the temperature reach the suction pump temperature (100℃), and then the asphalt pump is pumped into the upper chamber. At the same time, an empty barrel is pushed out at the rear end outlet. There is also an oil tank on the platform at the entrance of the asphalt barrel to prevent the dripping bitumen from flowing out.
    The inlet and outlet doors of the device adopt a spring automatic closing mechanism. The door can be automatically closed after the asphalt barrel is pushed in or out to reduce heat loss. A temperature gauge is installed at the asphalt outlet to observe the asphalt outlet temperature. The electrical control system can control the opening and closing of the hydraulic pump and the reversing of the electromagnetic reversing valve to realize the advance and retreat of the hydraulic cylinder. If the heating time is extended, a higher temperature can be obtained. The lifting mechanism adopts a cantilever structure. The bitumen barrel is lifted by an electric hoist, and then moved horizontally to place the bitumen barrel on the guide rail. A temperature gauge is installed at the outlet of the asphalt meltering equipment to observe its outlet temperature.

    Some of the equipment of emulsified modified bitumen equipment are as follows. The specially made bitumen filter can effectively filter the residues and dirt in the high-temperature culture medium bitumen to avoid damage to the subsequent equipment. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment adopts a spiral plate type or a shell and tube heat exchanger to quickly heat the culture medium bitumen through high-temperature heat transfer oil to meet the needs of the production process. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment is heated in the storage tank to prevent the bitumen from aging due to long-term high-temperature heating and exposure to the air. The sulfate generated during the production process of the emulsified modified bitumen equipment is very limited, reducing air pollution.
    The emulsified modified bitumen equipment sends the modified material manually poured into the dumping bin to the bitumen batching tank by wind or spiral. It can be equipped with a metering and calibration system. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment thickener is automatically or manually added. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment can be equipped with a metering and calibration system. Emulsified modified bitumen equipment transportation and metering and calibration system, the emulsified modified bitumen equipment adds the set bitumen amount to the batching tank through the frequency converter and computer interlock. The emulsified modified bitumen equipment and bitumen steam flowmeter use big brand products to ensure the preparation.
