Bitumen is a versatile and widely used material that is used in various industries such as construction, roofing and waterproofing. But what exactly is bitumen? In its most basic sense, it is a viscous, semi-solid or solid form of oil ...
Bituminous stones are a type of sedimentary rock that are of high value due to their high content of bitumen. They are commonly used in construction to produce asphalt, bituminous concrete and roofing materials. In addition to practical applications, bituminous ...
Solid hydrocarbon oil shales: Oil shales are brown to black and sometimes gray sediments that are seen as thin and dense laminae. They have more than 20% organic matter and after burning, they leave about 30% ash. Organic materials of ...
Introduction: reducing the viscosity of bitumen Thermal cracking processes (bitumen viscosity reduction) are significant methods for converting heavy feedstocks. The increase in the amount of energy consumption in the world, the reduction of renewable energy sources and environmental issues have ...
Bitumen viscosity testing plays an important role in the construction industry because it provides critical information about the flow and consistency of bitumen, a key component in asphalt and road construction. The Sibolt method is a widely used technique for ...
