ABSTRACT:
A method for emulsification of rock asphalt, the resulting low asphalt emulsion and low asphalt emulsion binder for aggregate is disclosed. Fine mesh rock asphalt is emulsified by using a hydrocarbon fluxing agent to sufficiently wet the rock asphalt to produce a fluid mixture, followed by addition of water, small amounts of surfactant and salts, heating the fluid mix while the mixture is being gently stirred. The rock asphalt emulsion can be formed from rock asphalts having low asphalt content, as low as 5, 6, or 7% by weight and greater. Depending on the rock asphalt ore source, the emulsion is comprised of varying amounts of hydrocarbon fluxing oils which are present in sufficient volume to form a fluid mix, from less than about 25% to greater than matching parts by volume of water, and lesser amounts of surfactants and salts. These emulsions have been found to be effective as binders for limestone aggregate coatings, seal, coats, pliable mats and other surprising applications.
