The Experimental Study on the Road Asphalt Fumes Inhibitors

Abstract

In order to reduce the road asphalt fumes in the process of construction, the paper proposed to add some substances in asphalt to reduce the yield of asphalt fumes. Firstly, considering the theory of how the asphalt fumes come into being in the process of construction on the pavement, six possible additives to restrain these fumes havd been screened out. And tests of fumes suppression effect had been done to get the results that: SBS has a good effect of fumes suppression. When added by 3%, the asphalt fumes reduced by the rate of 19.2%; PE has an suppressive effect on asphalt fumes. When added by 3%, the asphalt fumes reduced by the rate of 6.5%; Melamine has a good effect of fumes suppression. When added by 3%, the asphalt fumes reduced by the rate of 45.1%; Ammonium molybdophosphate has an abnormal effect of fumes suppression. When added by 1%, the asphalt fumes not only did not reduce but increases. When added by 3%, the asphalt fumes reduced by the rate of 23.3%; nanoCalcium carbonate has an effect of fumes suppression. When added by 3%, the asphalt fumes reduced by the rate of 4.8%; Activated Carbon has a good effect of fumes suppression. When added by 3%, the asphalt fumes reduced by the rate of 41.6%.
