Abstract
Preparing a modified bitumen composition includes combining bitumen with elemental sulfur to yield a mixture, and crystallizing the elemental sulfur on a surface of the bitumen to yield a layer of elemental sulfur on the surface of the bitumen. The mixture typically includes about 5 wt % to about 15 wt % of the elemental sulfur. A modified bitumen composition includes A modified bitumen composition includes bitumen and elemental sulfur on a surface of the bitumen. The modified bitumen composition includes about 5 wt % to about 15 wt % of the elemental sulfur.
