Abstract:To clarify the effects of different smoke-suppressing materials on asphalt fume emissions and pavement performance, three materials of dicyandiamide, kaolin and zeolite are selected to systematically study the fume release behavior from the microscopic pore structure, high-temperature rheological properties, 10 ℃ ductility and 180 ℃ conditions. The results indicate that the specific surface area and pore volume are the key factors influencing the smoke suppression efficiency. Owing to its well-developed microporous structure and abundant adsorption sites, the smoke suppresion efficiency of zeolite is the best, followed by kaolin, while dicyandiamide is mainly captured by chemical means. The performance analysis shows that zeolite can significantly enhance the high-temperature modulus and rutting factor. However, due to the strong adsorption of light components, the ductility at 10 ℃ decreases significantly. Kaolin causes relatively minor disturbance to the asphalt structure and thus has a limited impact on low-temperature ductility. Whereas dicyandiamide increases system stiffness, resulting in a noticeable decrease in ductility. Fume emission tests further confirm that zeolite provides the highest suppression efficiency for multiple pollutants.
