Effect of FCC Slurry on Performance of SBS Modified Bitumen

Abstract:

Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) slurry is a by-product of petrochemical industry rich in aromatics. In this paper, the effect of FCC slurry on the physical properties of SBS modified bitumen was investigated by softening point, penetration, ductility and low temperature flexibility test. The influence of FCC slurry on the compatibility of SBS modified bitumen was evaluated by fluorescence microscope and segregation test. The results show that FCC slurry improves the softening point, penetration, ductility and low temperature flexibility of SBS modified bitumen. Fluorescence microscope showed that FCC slurry promotes the dispersion of SBS in bitumen, which is conducive to the formation of network crosslinking structure of SBS modified bitumen. The segregation test indicated that the compatibility of SBS with bitumen was improved with the content of FCC slurry increasing.
