Introduction
Asphalt binders specified based on their properties in an original state
• Performance Graded by AASHTO or ASTM
What about properties of in-situ asphalt mixtures?
• Research
• Forensic investigation
• Correct asphalt used in production
• Evaluate properties of blended asphalt binder (RAP or RAS)

Introduction
What options do we have to determine in-situ asphalt properties?
• Performance testing of asphalt mixture
• Physical properties of recovered asphalt• Since early 1900’s
![Page 4: Solvent Extraction-Recovery Procedures and their Effect on ... Recovered PG... · Rotavapor RTFO AASHTO re: source proficiency sample. This graph is an analysis of the variability](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022051808/600a6996fb2a5847a26cf8d0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Challenges with Recovered Binder Testing
• The choice of procedure and solvent can have an impact on the resulting physical properties of the recovered asphalt binder
• Physical properties test results of recovered binders have much higher variability compared to unrecovered binders
• The effect of solvent extraction on polymer modified binders and impact on physical properties is still being investigated

Research Objectives
1. Compare physical properties and testing variability of original (tank) asphalt to recovered asphalt
2. Compare laboratory aging and field aging through chemical analysis of functional groups of asphalt
3. Provide alternative methods of assessing the quality of plant produced asphalt mixes: performance testing

Cartridge filter in SHRP rotavapor toluene procedure may remove more fine aggregate from the effluent
SHRP rotavapor uses lower temperature and higher vacuum which could help minimize hardening during the recovery process

Literature search of solvent extraction-recovery procedures with polymer modified asphalts
Asphalt Institute
• Modify Rotavapor procedure using toluene
• Does not have stabilizers that can cause problems with modified asphalts
Switzerland
• Most solvents showed little difference in elasticity except with dichloromethane
Belgium
• Some polymer modified asphalt lost their elasticity after recovery
• TCE resulted in higher variability in test results

Review: Asphalt Cement Properties
Asphalt is composed of extremely large number of organic molecules
Can be grouped into various molecular types and fractions:
• Saturates; Aromatics; Resins; Asphaltenes
Reacts with oxygen from environment
Oxidation/aging process changes the concentrations of these fractions

Absorbance AI was calculated using data from SAR-AD® on asphalt binders collected after various stages of aging:
• RTFO lab-aged binder
• 20hr PAV lab-aged binder
• 40hr PAV lab-aged binder
• Plant Mix (Recovered binder from plant produced mix, sampled on construction site)

Bland-Altman Plots: Aging Index
Purpose: Measure agreement between methods
• Methods of aging asphalt binder
1
Aging methods:
• Plant/Field aged mix
• Lab RTFO aged
• Lab 20hr PAV aged
• Lab 40hr PAV aged
2
How well do these methods agree?
• Compare Aging Index (AI) of lab aging methods to field aging.

Bland Altman Plots
Absorbance AI of the plant mix (i.e. recovered binder from plant produced mix) compared to Absorbance AI of lab-aged binders.
Smaller differences (i.e. Bias closer to zero) suggest the two methods are producing similar results.

Research Objectives
✓Compare physical properties and testing variability of recovered asphalt to original (tank) asphalt
✓Compare laboratory aging and field aging through chemical analysis of functional groups of asphalt
3. Provide alternative method of evaluating quality of plant produced asphalt mixes: performance testing

Summary
• The choice of procedure and solvent can have an impact on the resulting physical properties of the recovered asphalt binder
• During recovery aggregate fines remains in the recovered asphalt that will affect the physical properties

Summary
• d2s% values on recovered asphalt binder are approximately 4-7 times greater than the same values measured on unrecovered asphalt binder.
• Technical competence in performing extraction-recovery procedures important in obtaining repeatable, valid test results
• Users should exercise caution when comparing values of recovered asphalt binder to test criteria and variability derived for unrecovered (virgin) asphalt binder.
