Abstract
ABSTRACT Supercritical extraction with n-pentane was used to separate asphalt into distinct fractions having different physical and compositional properties. A pilot-scale supercritical unit capable of processing thirty kilograms of asphalt per day was designed and fabricated specifically for asphalt fractionation. The operation and design of the unit is similar to the ROSE (Residuum Oil Supercritical Extraction) process of Keer-McGee. This unit was used to separate asphalt into five different fractions ranging from soft greases to asphaltene-like solids. Supplemental room-temperature solvent fractionation of the hardest of these five using binary pentane/cyclohexane mixtures produces, a total of eight fractions. A variety of analyses provide chemical and physical ctauracterization of the fractions. These include: (1) Corbett Fractionation, (2) FT-IR spectroscopy, (3) size exclusion chromatography, (4) nickel and vanadium atomic absorption, and (5) viscosity
