Methods for Improving the Flowability of Asphalt Particles

A method for storing asphalt particles, comprising:

• (i) providing asphalt particles with a penetration grade below about 20;
• (ii) mixing the particles with at least one further compound comprising Portland cement, calcium aluminate cement, fly ash, blast furnace slag, lime/silica blends, silica, ground limestone, cement kiln dust, chemically bonded phosphate ceramics, zeolites, geopolymers, cellulose, starch, calcium carbonate, colloidal silica, aluminosilicates, and combinations thereof;
• and
• (iii) placing the blend in a storage container.

A method for transporting asphalt particles, comprising:

• (i) providing asphalt particles with a penetration grade below about 20;
• (ii) mixing the particles with at least one further compound comprising Portland cement, calcium aluminate cement, fly ash, blast furnace slag, lime/silica blends, silica, ground limestone, cement kiln dust, chemically bonded phosphate ceramics, zeolites, geopolymers, cellulose, starch, calcium carbonate, colloidal silica, aluminosilicates, and combinations thereof;
• (iii) placing the blend in a transport container;
• and
• (iv) transporting the blend from a first location to a second location.
