Hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ke kaʻina hana o ka bitumen emulsified i nā kaʻina hana ʻehā: ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i ka bitumen, ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i ke kopa, ka emulsification bitumen, a me ka mālama ʻana i ka emulsion. ʻO ka mahana o ka bitumen emulsified kūpono ma kahi o 85°C.

Wahi a ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka bitumen emulsified, ma hope o ke koho ʻana i ka brand bitumen kūpono a me ka lepili, ʻo ke kaʻina hana hoʻomākaukau bitumen ka mea nui o ka hoʻomehana ʻana i ka bitumen a mālama ʻia i kahi mahana kūpono.

1. Ka hoomakaukau ana i ka bitumen
ʻO ka bitumen ka mea nui loa o ka bitumen emulsified, ma ke ʻano he 50%-65% o ka nui o ka bitumen emulsified.

2. Ka hoʻomākaukauʻana i ka hopena kopa
E like me ka bitumen emulsified makemake ʻia, koho i ke ʻano emulsifier kūpono a me ke ʻano e like me ke ʻano mea hoʻohui a me ke ʻano, a hoʻomākaukau i ka emulsifier aqueous solution (kopa). Ma muli o nā mea hana bitumen emulsified a me ke ʻano o ka emulsifier, ʻokoʻa hoʻi ke kaʻina hana hoʻomākaukau o ka wai wai (kopa) o ka emulsifier.

3. Emulsification o ka bitumen
E hoʻokomo i kahi ʻāpana kūpono o ka bitumen a me ka wai kopa i loko o ka emulsifier, a ma o nā hopena mechanical e like me ka pressurization, shearing, grinding, etc., e hana ka bitumen i nā ʻāpana like ʻole a maikaʻi, a e hoʻopuehu ʻia i loko o ka wai kopa hana ʻeke wai. ʻO ka ʻaila bitumen emulsion.
He mea nui ka mālama ʻana i ka wela i ka wā o ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i ka bitumen. Inā he haʻahaʻa loa ka wela o ka bitumen, hiki i ka bitumen ke loaʻa ka viscosity kiʻekiʻe, paʻakikī i ke kahe ʻana, a pēlā nā pilikia emulsification. Inā kiʻekiʻe loa ka wela o ka bitumen, e lilo ia i mea ʻelemakule o ka bitumen ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, a hana pū i ka bitumen emulsified i ka manawa like. He kiʻekiʻe loa ka wela o ka puka, e pili ana i ka paʻa o ka emulsifier a me ka maikaʻi o ka bitumen emulsified.
ʻO ka mahana o ka hopena kopa ma mua o ke komo ʻana i nā mea hana emulsification e hoʻomalu mau ʻia ma waena o 55-75 ° C. Pono e hoʻolako ʻia nā pahu waihona nui me kahi mea hoʻouluulu e hoʻoulu mau. ʻO kekahi mau emulsifiers paʻa i ka lumi wela e pono e hoʻoheheʻe ʻia a hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ma mua o ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i ke kopa. No laila, he mea koʻikoʻi ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i ka bitumen.

4. Ka mālama ʻana i ka bitumen emulsified
Puka mai ka bitumen emulsified mai loko mai o ka emulsifier a komo i ka pahu waihona ma hope o ka hoʻoluʻu ʻana. Pono kekahi emulsifier wai e hoʻohui i ka ʻakika e hoʻoponopono i ka waiwai pH, aʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe (e like me nā paʻakai ammonium quaternary) ʻaʻole.

E hoʻolohi i ka wehe ʻana o ka bitumen emulsified. I ka wa e pulupulu ai ka bitumen emulsified, ua hoopau ia ka bitumen emulsified, a mahope iho o ka mahuka ana o ka wai o loko, o ka mea i koe ma ke alanui, oia ka bitumen. No nā lako hana hana bitumen emulsified hoʻomau, hoʻopau ʻia kēlā me kēia ʻāpana o ke kopa (wai, acid, emulsifier, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe) e ka papahana i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e nā lako hana ponoʻī, ʻoiai ke hōʻoia ʻia ka lako o kēlā me kēia mea; no nā lako hana semi- Hoʻomau a intermittent paha e pono ai ka hoʻomākaukau lima ʻana o ke kopa e like me nā koi kumu.
