BITUMEN � Bitumen is a black, oily, viscous
material that is a naturally-occurring organic byproduct of decomposed organic materials.
� It is sticky,thick,Tar like form of petroleum derived from polycyclic aeromatic hydrocarbon
General uses of Bitumen: • Constructions of roads, runways and
platforms. • Water proofing to prevent water seepage. • Mastic floorings for factories and go-downs. • Canal lining to prevent erosion. • Dump-proof courses for masonry.

Bitumen plays a vital role in road construction typically as binder. Application condition requires bitumen to behave as mobile liquid. There are three ways to reduce its viscosity: •Heat it •Dissolve it in solvents •Emulsify it. In heating it involves some: •Energetic •Environmental and •Health problems As process is inefficient and involves Loss of heat and even fumes causing air pollution

In case using solvents: We make use of volatile dilatants like kerosene petroleum which adds to its cost although viscosity get reduced as it is uneconomical.

What are emulsions?
An emulsion is a dispersion Of small droplets of one liquid in another liquid.
Emulsions can be formed by any two immiscible liquids, but in most emulsions one of the phases is water.
Oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions are those in which the continuous phase is water and the disperse (Droplet) phase is an
“oily” liquid.
Water-in-oil (W/O) “inverted” emulsions are those in which the continuous phase is an oil and the disperse phase is water.

BITUMEN EMULSION
Bitumen Emulsion is a 2-phase system consisting of •Bitumen •Water •Other Additives
•The bitumen is dispersed throughout the water phase in form of discrete globules, held
in suspension by electrostatic charges stabilized by emulsifier
•The Emulsion contains 40-75% of bitumen,.1-2.5%emulsifier,25-60%water and other
ingredients
•Typically of .1 – 50 µm in diameter.
•It is mainly dark brown in color after breaking changes to black.

Primary objective is to use for road surfacing without much heating.
� As main advantages this improves the handling of bitumen at room temperature.
� Promotes surface interactions .
� Its mixture with the aggregate attains full strength.
� Economical and saves energy .
� Reduced atmosphere pollution.
� Water can also added before use to dilute as per requirement.
� Rains can not effect it at the time of use and after use.

WHY BITUMEN EMULSIONS ?

Types:
Bitumen emulsions can be divided into four classes:
1) Cationic emulsions.
2) Anionic emulsions.
3) Non-ionic emulsions.
4) Clay-stabilized emulsions.
� The first two are most widely used

Cationic emulsions � If an electric potential is supplied between two
electrodes immersed in an emulsion containing positively charged particles of bitumen, they will migrate to the cathode.
� This emulsion is said to be cationic.

Manufacture of Bitumen emulsions � Bitumen emulsions can be manufactured using batch
process or continuous process.
� Bitumen emulsions are made in continuous inline processes involving dispersing technologies like rotor stators, colloidal mills and static mixers.
� High shearing forces are required for producing emulsions.
� Colloidal mills contain high speed rotors.
� Hot bitumen and emulsifier are fed simultaneously into colloidal mill.

� As an alternative to colloid mill, a static mixer can be used.
� This contains no moving parts.
� The high shear necessary to produce an emulsion is generated by pumping the input materials at high speed.

Role of Emulsifiers in Bitumen Emulsion
� An emulsifier is a substance which stabilizes an emulsion by increasing its kinetic stability.
20
� In order to be effective, it must be water soluble and have a balance between hydrophilic & litho phobic properties.
� In emulsion, the ionic portion of emulsifier is located at surface of the bitumen droplet by hydrocarbon chain.
� The ionic portion of the emulsifier imparts a charge to the droplets themselves and counter-ions diffuse into the water.
� As the concentration of the emulsifier increases, the particle size of the emulsion is reduced.

� It performs various functions within bitumen emulsion.
1. Makes emulsification easier by reducing the interfacial tension between bitumen and water.
2. Stabilize the emulsion by preventing coalescence of droplets.
3. Dictates its performance characteristics such as setting and adhesion .
4. Emulsifier also decreases rate of flocullation.

Properties of bitumen emulsion
It is stable under transportation ,storage &application condition.
But it may break soon after application.
It may have low viscosity
It may f low due to irregular spraying but not due to road irregularities

Emulsion stability
� This property indicates the resistance ability to change properties over time. As stability is very important in storage ,transport & use.
� Stable emulsion will change over time slowly.
� Reason for instability can be physical or chemical process.
� As emulsion is a example of colloidal system in non equilibrium state. If system reaches to equilibrium
Emulsion will go through several process like flocculation, sedimentation, and coalescence leading to instability of emulsion

Emulsion Viscosity
� The viscosity of the bitumen emulsion is important for pumping and transportation.
� In some applications, for example surface dressing, bitumen emulsion is sprayed on the road. In this case the viscosity is critical. As It should be low enough to permit even spraying but at the same time high enough to prevent run-off, once it is sprayed on the road.

Emulsion breaking
Bituminous emulsions are designed to “break” deliberately in contact with moist aggregates, releasing a binder film on and between the mineral aggregates.
There can be two kind of breaking:
1. Breaking of anionic bitumen emulsions
2. Breaking of cationic bitumen emulsions

Breaking of anionic bitumen emulsions: It involves the substantial removal of water. Mainly by evaporation but also by absorption through surfaces in contact, particularly those of mineral aggregates.
Breaking of cationic bitumen emulsions:
For cationic emulsions a significant factor which contributes
towards the breaking, in addition to removal of water, is a
physiochemical effect which involves adsorption of positively
charged emulsifiers on to negatively charged surfaces in contact,
thus assisting in the destabilization of the emulsion.

Emulsion adhesivity
� The physical-chemical adsorption of bitumen and surfactant onto the mineral surface is governed by Vander Waals attraction forces, electrostatic forces or covalent and electrovalent bindings, and responsible for the film adhesion.
� To optimize the bitumen adsorption on substrate, surfactant
concentration should be slightly lower than the critical micelle concentration (CMC), nevertheless surfactant concentration higher than CMC is necessary to increase the stability of the unstable thermodynamic emulsion. Ionic surfactant can adsorb on slightly charged substrates. Non-ionic surfactants adsorb on mineral surfaces mostly by hydrogen bonding or Vander Waals attractive forces. The adsorption of surfactant changes the hydrophobic hydrophilic behaviour of the substrate, thus acting on the adhesion of the bitumen.

� Slip layer & concrete curing: Bitumen emulsions are used to create a membrane between layers of concrete to retain strength of upper layer by preventing water seepage into lower layers by avoiding rigid adhesion. Also it is sprayed on top surface to avoid evaporation of water.

It has been given us possibility to apply wide range of new technologies and methods for road construction, repair and keeping. And most important thing is that it is all inexpensive and do not affect environment However continuous development and learning how to make bitumen-emulsions which would fit with local conditions, materials, technology requirements and standards must be carried on.

Once an emulsion is applied to a surface the bitumen must separate from the liquid phase. The water is removed while the bitumen remains to coat the surface. Separation of the bitumen and water may be due to evaporation or due to the chemical nature of the surface.
