Study of Volatile Organic Compounds in Cold Mix Asphalts. The Ben FranklinPartnership Program Year-End Report, September 1, 1990-August 31, 1991

摘要

The principal objective of this study was to characterize volatile organiccompounds (VOC) emitted from a novel cold mix asphalt developed by Heilman Pavement Specialties, Inc. (HGP) and from a PennDOT approved, traditionally used cold asphalt mix (FB-1). Well-defined distillate fractions from both materials were collected and their volumes were measured at four different temperatures ranging from 200 to 700F. All the distillates were analyzed qualitatively by gas chromatography (GC) and some by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
