Abstract
An oil-in-water emulsion comprising an asphalt and purified coal product (PCP) is provided, wherein the PCP is in particulate form, and wherein at least about 90% by volume (% v) of the particles are no greater than about 25 μm in diameter; wherein the PCP has an ash content of less than about 10 wt %. Methods are also provided for the use of PCP as a stabilizing additive in the manufacture of asphalt containing emulsions.
Claims23
An oil-in-water emulsion comprising an asphalt and a purified coal product (PCP), wherein the PCP is in particulate form, wherein at least about 90% by volume (% v) of the particles are no greater than about 25 μm in diameter;
- and wherein the PCP has an ash content of less than about 10 wt %.
A method of stabilizing an asphalt-in-water emulsion, the method comprising adding a purified coal product (PCP) to the emulsion, wherein the PCP is in particulate form, and wherein at least about 90% by volume (% v) of the particles are no greater than about 25 μm in diameter;
- wherein the PCP has an ash content of less than about 10 wt %;
- and wherein the PCP is added in an amount to the emulsion such that the emulsion comprises a PCP/(asphalt+PCP) ratio of at least 0.01.
