4. Bitumen composition
The search for bitumen's chemical formula has been a passion for researchers for a very long time, and even today there are questions about its composition. The numerous works in the literature
The great complexity and variety of the hundreds of thousands of molecules that make up bitumen leads to its separation into large generic fractions whose characteristics and distribution will explain the bitumen's properties.
-
The first operation involves separating the larger molecules by precipitation using an aliphatic solvent, most often normal heptane (nC 7 ). The precipitated fraction is called...
