Abstract

Mineralization of occulated bitumen emulsions allows producing bitumen powders, also referred to as Bitumen@SiO2 hybrid particles, that can resist storage in hard conditions, with a load up to 8 kPa at 50 °C during 20 h, without alteration of their morphology or release of their bitumen core. Thanks to the occulation, nal Bitumen@SiO2 powders are not highly pulverulent and allow transportation and handling of bitumen at ambient temperature without the need of water as it is the case for bitumen emulsions. This “water free” storage par- ticularity exhibits the double advantage of reducing the cost of transport and of avoiding inhibition of bitumen adhesion at mineral aggregates through the presence of water, therefore rendering the bitumen its high quality of binder. The silica shell is responsible for the high storage stability and, when mixed with aggregates for end use of asphalt, as for example in pavement applications, serves as mineral charge to the bitumen, modifying the bitumen ow properties. Indeed, when heated at 100 °C and crushed, the capsules break releasing thus the bitumen. This suspension made of bitumen and silica shell fragments exhibits an interesting shear-thinning behavior that can be attributed to the presence of the remnant fragments. Indeed, when shell fragments have been transferred into a silicon oil, initially exhibiting a Newtonian behavior, the mixture of fragments and oil also exhibited a shear thinning rheogram demonstrating the e ect of the silica shell fragments. The bene t of such a behavior modi cation is the possibility to reduce or avoid the usual addition of llers. Passive adhesion has been tested by generating asphalt concretes with Bitumen@SiO2 powders and showed high stability.
