[0001] FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the recycling and / or upgrading of bituminous products comprising bitumen and elements to be separated, such as glass fibers, mineral fillers and / or aggregates.
[0002] TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND Bitumen is a complex matrix, derived from a double distillation of crude oil, and essentially composed of aromatic, naphthenic or aliphatic hydrocarbons. Very viscous or solid at room temperature, it becomes fluid and flows like a Newtonian liquid as soon as its temperature reaches a hundred degrees. The physico-chemical characterization of the bitumen is not easy: the dissolution in a suitable hydrocarbon (heptane for example), allows to separate it into two large families that are maltenes and asphaltenes. The latter constitute the solid, polar and very high molecular weight part of the bitumen, thus giving it a certain number of particular properties. Due to its different properties, in particular its adhesion properties to the majority of usual substrates, sealing, stability, thermal and dielectric insulation, elasticity, bitumen is used in many fields and in particular in the field construction and public works (BTP) for road surfaces and waterproofing membranes. To enhance its properties, facilitate its handling and to increase its quality, research has been conducted to modify the bitumen and thus form a modified bitumen or an asphalt binder.
[0003] Among the changes that have taken place over time, the incorporation of polymers into the bitumen has been the most significant (modified bitumen). Whether they are plastomers, such as polyethylene or polypropylene, or thermoplastic elastomers, such as styrene-butadiene-styrene or styrene-isoprene-styrene, these polymers provide the bitumen with better elasticity, especially decreased thermal susceptibility which results in better crack resistance at lower temperatures, higher rigidity at high temperatures, and improved fatigue strength. Despite the advantages provided by the incorporation of polymer into the bitumen, the latter induce new problems such as the production cost of the bituminous binder as well as the high sensitivity to the temperature and / or ultraviolet radiation of certain polymers. The modified bitumen or bitumen may also be additive with mineral fillers, for example calcareous fillers, or silicates, which may or may not be flame retardant, with various additives depending on the desired properties of the final product, and be reinforced by weft comprising glass fibers and / or polyester (in this case we speak of waterproofing membrane), so as to form the bituminous binder. Some membranes are covered with other mineral products such as sand, or slates, whose purpose is, among other things, to protect the bituminous binder from ultraviolet radiation. We will now speak of "soluble elements" to refer to polymers and additives, while we will describe as "insoluble elements" the mineral fillers and ultraviolet protective elements, as well as the different fibers. All these elements tend to make complex bitumen products and sources of technical, economic and environmental problems as regards their recycling and valuations. Several processes for recycling bituminous products are known from the state of the art. It is for example known to recycle bituminous products by solvolysis. For this, the bituminous product is mixed with a suitable solvent for dissolving the bitumen, so as to separate the bitumen, and where appropriate the soluble elements, insoluble elements also included in the bituminous product. However, such a recycling process is also very restrictive insofar as the dissolution of the bitumen is slow, several hours are necessary, and therefore does not ensure a sufficient yield.
[0004] It is also known to recycle bituminous products by heat treatment. For this purpose, the bituminous product is heated so as to separate the bitumen from non-fusible elements of the bituminous product such as fillers. Moreover, in these two cases, it is necessary to first carry out a grinding or cutting of the bituminous product to be recycled, so as to increase its specific surface area and thus promote the dissolution or melting of the bitumen. However, such a grinding or such a cut is particularly complicated to achieve on the one hand given the viscosity of the bituminous binder which heated by the grinding operation comes glue the tools and on the other hand given the elements 10 insoluble materials that may have been introduced into the bitumen to form the bituminous product, in particular the glass and / or polyester fibers forming the weft. Furthermore, the high temperatures required for the heat treatment and the presence of solvent for solvolysis can pose problems of hygiene, safety and the environment.
[0005] Another problem relating to the use of recycled bituminous binder is due to the aging that it undergoes during its life cycle. Indeed, during the recycling of bituminous products, although the recycled bituminous binder (that is to say the bitumen separated from the insoluble elements of the initial bituminous product but retaining the soluble elements of the initial bituminous product) is mixed with bitumen virgin and new insoluble elements (mineral fillers, etc.) and / or new soluble elements (polymers, etc.), the performances of the bituminous product obtained from this recycled bituminous binder are nevertheless altered. The main mechanism of aging of bitumen is its oxidation. In fact, the aged bituminous binder has a higher viscosity and is stiffer than its virgin version and significant changes in its composition are observed. These changes may notably lead to a loss of adhesion of the bituminous product, or to its cracking. In this respect, the rejuvenation of the bituminous binder may be an important part of the recycling process.
[0006] For this, it is for example known to use bitumen rejuvenation products. These products are generally mixed with the bituminous product to be recycled to restore the original characteristics of oxidized (aged) bitumen to soften and regenerate volatile materials and dispersing oils while promoting adhesion. They restore the initial ratio between asphaltenes and maltenes. Generally, rejuvenation products must be highly aromatic and be able to improve both the temperature sensitivity and the hardening of aged bitumen. They must be composed in such a way as to increase the peptization potency of the Maltene phase.
[0007] Recycled cooking oil or motor oil, palm, rapeseed, or sunflower oil are examples of bitumen rejuvenation products known to those skilled in the art. Such rejuvenation products are, for example, described in Hallizza Asli et al, Investigation on Physical Properties of Waste Cooking Oil - Rejuvenated Bitumen Binder, Construction and Building Materials 37 (2012) 398-405 on the use of cooking oil as rejuvenation products. Depending on the bitumen grade and the proportion of rejuvenation oil added (1-5% of the volume of bitumen to be rejuvenated), viscosity, softening point, penetrability, and flash vary. However, by mixing aged bitumen with cooking oil in a proportion of 4 to 5% of the volume of bitumen, it is possible to obtain excellent rejuvenation results. PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks cited above by proposing a recycling process and / or recovery of a bituminous product that is fast, simple, low pollution and little consumer in terms of 'energy.

[0014] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 represents a system 10 for implementing a method 100 for recycling and / or upgrading an asphalt product according to one embodiment of the invention.
[0015] The term "bituminous product" means any product comprising bitumen and insoluble separable elements. These elements to be separated are for example the following: mineral fillers, for example calcareous fillers or silicates, which may be flame retardant, and / or glass and / or polyester fibers forming, for example, a weft, frame may further be covered with other mineral products such as sand or slates, so as to protect the bituminous product from ultraviolet radiation, and / or - aggregates, and / or - plastic films, and / or - aluminum foils. The bitumen of the bituminous product may further comprise so-called "soluble" elements such as pigments or other additives, and polymers. The bitumen of the bituminous product may indeed have been modified, that is to say that polymers may have been incorporated into the bitumen. Such polymers are, for example, plastomers, such as polyethylene or polypropylene, or thermoplastic elastomers, such as styrene-butadiene-styrene or styrene-isoprene-styrene. The system 10 comprises a reactor 11 inside which is provided a chamber 12 configured to receive the bituminous product to be recycled and / or upgraded and a liquid medium of which at least one liquid component has Hansen solubility parameters. hh, Eip and bd such that the bitumen and, if appropriate, the soluble elements have at least partial solubility in the liquid medium. The elements to be separated are insoluble.
[0016] Hansen's theory is well known to those skilled in the art. In particular, the definition and calculation of solubility parameters in Hansen's three-dimensional solubility space are described in Charles M. Hansen's article, The three dimensional solubility parameters, J. Paint Technol. 39, 105 (1967). These parameters are further described in Hansen Solubility Parameters: 10 A User's Handbook, Second Edition by Charles M. Hansen, ISBN 9780849372483. Hansen's solubility parameters constitute a qualitative and empirical guide widely used in industry. The method makes it possible, inter alia, to predict the compatibility or affinity between different chemical substances. In order to account for other intermolecular forces, Hansen has decomposed the total cohesion energy of the system into the sum of the cohesive energies corresponding to the principal modes of interaction found in common organic materials. This decomposition thus makes it possible to define the three solubility parameters: bd, Eip and ôh. The parameter bd is relative to the so-called "dispersion" forces of London (non-polar interactions), the Eip parameter is related to the Keesom polarity forces (between permanent dipoles) and Esh represents the hydrogen bonds and more generally the interactions involving electronic trading game. Debye forces (between induced dipoles) are generally low in absolute value and neglected. In other words, for two substances to be miscible, it is necessary that their three solubility parameters be identical or very close. In a representative way, Hansen's parameters provide access to a space of three-dimensional solubility. Hansen's parameter unit is MPa '' 5, which is VMPa.
[0017] Preferably, the liquid component (s) of the liquid medium have a parameter, 51-1 less than or equal to 7 MPa "5, more preferably less than or equal to 4 MPa" 5, an Eip parameter less than or equal to 7 MPa "5, more preferably less than or equal to 4 MPa" 5, and a bd parameter greater than or equal to 15 MPa "5, more preferably greater than or equal to 17 MPa" 5. According to a first embodiment of the invention, the liquid medium is an oil, especially a vegetable oil, a mineral oil or a synthetic oil, possibly recycled. According to this embodiment, the oil in the reactor 11 is for example at a temperature between 20 ° C and 200 ° C, preferably between 40 ° C and 120 ° C. The liquid medium may also be bitumen. In this case, it is the oil or bitumen which has Hansen solubility parameters δh, Eip and bd defined so that the bitumen and, if appropriate, the soluble elements have at least partial solubility in the liquid medium.
[0018] According to a second embodiment of the invention, the liquid medium is a mixture of water and a solvent chosen from naphtha solvents, aromatic solvents or even biosourced solvents, such as methyl esters. In this case, it is the solvent of the mixture which has Hansen's solubility parameters δh, Eip and bd such that the bitumen and, if appropriate, the soluble elements have at least partial solubility in the liquid medium. According to this embodiment, the mixture of water and solvent is at ambient temperature, that is to say at a temperature of between 15 ° C. and 27 ° C. The reactor 11 is provided with a pair of electrodes 13 extending inside the chamber 12 of the reactor 11. The pair of electrodes 13 is preferably of the tip / plane type. The anode preferably forms the tip while the cathode is flat. The electrode pair 13 is further connected to a discharge circuit comprising a generator 131 of electromagnetic pulses. The generator 131 is preferably a high voltage generator, for example a Marx generator. The generator thus makes it possible to store the electrical energy without requiring a large power supply. The generator 131 is itself connected to a control unit and to a switch through which the generator 131 releases the electrical energy into the discharge circuit. The switch makes it possible to deliver the electrical energy thus stored in very short times (principle 5 of the pulsed powers). The switching time corresponds to the time taken by each electromagnetic pulse across the electrodes 13 to go from 10 to 90% of its maximum voltage value during its generation 102. The generator 131 is configured to generate a succession of electromagnetic pulses. between the electrodes 13 in the reactor 11 so as to produce, due to the power, the frequency and the switching time of the electromagnetic pulses, at least one shock wave and at least one ultraviolet radiation, so as to disperse and dissolving the bitumen in the liquid medium, and separating the bitumen and the insoluble elements, the liquid medium preventing the bitumen from being reconstituted, that is to say reagglomerate, when the bituminous product is mixed with the liquid medium in the chamber 12 of the reactor 11. Shock waves combined with ultraviolet radiation have the effect of reducing the viscosity of the bituminous binder by micron onization and dispersion in the liquid medium. It will be appreciated that as the bitumen is modified, the polymers incorporated therein are also dissolved in the liquid medium.

Preferably, the generator 131 is configured so that an average duration of the electromagnetic pulses is from 5 to 200ps. The reactor 11 is pivotally mounted relative to a generally horizontal axis 14, so as to allow its rotation between a recycling position (shown in solid lines in FIG. 1) and an unloading position (shown in dashed line in FIG. ). The reactor 11 is for example maintained in the recycling position by means of a cylinder 15 which can be removed when it is desired to tilt the reactor 11 in the unloading position.
[0022] The reactor 11 comprises a first opening 16 in an upper part of the reactor 11, in which, in the recycling position, the reactor 11 is fed with bituminous product for recycling and in a liquid medium. In the unloading position, the insoluble elements are removed from the reactor 11 by this upper part, once the bitumen and, if appropriate, the soluble elements of the bituminous product have been separated from the insoluble elements and the dissolved bitumen, if appropriate. the dissolved soluble elements, and the liquid medium, were removed from the reactor 11. The reactor 11 is fed with bituminous product to be recycled via a dedicated feed tank 17. The feed tank 25 17 bituminous product is placed opposite the first opening 16 of the reactor 11, when it is in the recycling position. The feed tank 17 of bituminous product is for example placed above the first opening 16 of the reactor 11, when it is in the recycling position, so as to supply the reactor 11 under the effect of the weight of the bituminous product . The amount of bituminous product to be recycled introduced into the reactor 11 is for example regulated by means of a valve 18. The feed tank 17 made of bituminous product and, if applicable, the valve 18 are for example connected to the first one. opening 16 of the reactor via a cover 19 configured to close the reactor 11, when in the recycling position.
[0023] The reactor 11 is further supplied with liquid medium via a feed tank 20. The feed tank 20 in a liquid medium is for example connected to the reactor 11 via a feed pipe. supply 21 opening on the first opening 16 of the reactor, when the latter is in the recycling position. The feed tank 20 in a liquid medium and, if appropriate, the feed duct 21 are for example connected to the first opening 16 of the reactor via the cover 19. Preferably, in the feed tank 20 in a liquid medium, the liquid medium is stored at room temperature, that is to say at a temperature between 15 ° C and 27 ° C. The reactor 11 further comprises a second opening 22 formed in its lower part, through which the liquid medium, the dissolved bitumen and, if appropriate, the soluble elements are discharged to a recycled recovery tank 23 of bitumen, for example by means of 24. When the liquid medium is a mixture of water and solvent, the recovery tank 23 may, for example, be adapted to decant the dissolved bitumen, if necessary the dissolved soluble elements and the mixture of water and solvent, so as to separate the water, the solvent and the modified bitumen under the effect of their difference in density, and recover including bituminous binder recycled to the surface of the recovery tank 23. The decantation also allows the bituminous binder to regain its initial viscosity.
[0024] The reactor 11 is also provided with a screen 25 formed inside the chamber 12 and configured to retain the insoluble elements inside the chamber 12, once the bitumen and, where appropriate, the soluble elements have been removed. have been separated from insoluble elements. The screen 25 is configured to retain the insoluble elements having a particle size greater than or equal to 300 μm, preferably greater than or equal to 150 μm. The screen 25 is formed between the first and the second openings 16, 22 of the reactor 11, so as to allow the discharge of the dissolved bitumen, where appropriate dissolved soluble elements and the liquid medium through the second opening 22 while retaining the insoluble elements within the chamber 12 of the reactor 11. Preferably, the planar cathode 5 is screened so as to form the screen 25. The system 10 also comprises a recovery tank 26 of the insoluble elements. The recovery tank 26 insoluble elements comprises an opening 27 formed opposite the first opening 16 of the reactor 11, when in the unloading position. The recovery tank 26 and its opening 27 are for example placed below the first opening 16 of the reactor 11, when the reactor 11 is in the unloading position, so as to discharge the insoluble separated elements of the bitumen, and the case soluble elements, which are retained by the screen 25 in the chamber 12 of the reactor 11 under the effect of their weight.
[0025] Optionally, when the liquid medium is an oil, the system 10 may further comprise a heat exchanger 28 traversed by the supply duct 20 and the exhaust duct 24 and configured to exchange heat from the duct. discharge 24 to the feed pipe 20, so as to heat the oil before it is introduced into the reactor 11 by means of the heat transported by the oil, the dissolved bitumen and, if appropriate, the dissolved soluble elements discharged by the exhaust duct 24 and generated by the Joule effect during the generation of the electromagnetic pulses in the reactor 11. FIG. 2 shows the process 100 of recovery and / or recycling of a bituminous product by pulsed power. The method 100 comprises the following steps in which: - the reactor 11 is supplied with bituminous product and in liquid medium, - a succession of electromagnetic pulses is generated between the electrodes 13 in the reactor 11 so as to produce makes the power, frequency and switching time of the electromagnetic pulses, at least one shock wave and at least one ultraviolet radiation, dispersing and dissolving the bitumen in the liquid medium, and separating the bitumen and the insoluble elements, the liquid medium preventing the bitumen from reconstituting itself, in other words to reagglomerate.
[0026] The shock wave or waves combined with ultraviolet radiation have the effect of reducing the viscosity of the bituminous binder by micronization and dispersion in the liquid medium. It will further be understood that the physicochemical affinities of the liquid medium with the bitumen prevents it from reagglomerate.
[0027] It will be understood that when the bitumen also comprises soluble elements, for example polymers as previously described, the shock wave and the ultraviolet radiation make it possible to separate the insoluble elements from the bitumen and from the soluble elements that dissolve in the liquid medium. . In particular, the method 100 has the advantage of not degrading the polymers incorporated in the bitumen of the bituminous product to be recycled, as illustrated in FIG. 3, and thus of allowing a possible reduction of the quantities of polymers to be introduced into the bitumen. recycled for later use. When the liquid medium is an oil, the process 100 is particularly advantageous in that it further allows the rejuvenation of the time-oxidized bitumen together with its recycling. When the liquid medium is a mixture of water and solvent, the method 100 is particularly advantageous insofar as it makes it possible to dissolve the bitumen and the soluble elements in 30s. The electric field produced by the electromagnetic pulses is illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5.

In particular, when the mixture of water and solvent comprises substantially three times more water than solvent by volume, the reactor 11 is preferably supplied with a volume of bituminous product corresponding substantially to twice the volume of the product. solvent. It will be understood that to implement the method 100, there is no need to reduce the size of the bituminous products to be treated by a grinding or cutting operation which, especially when the bituminous product comprises glass fibers and / or polyester, is particularly complex.

Preferably, when generating electromagnetic pulses 102, a maximum voltage between the electrodes is between 20kV and 200kV. Preferably, when generating electromagnetic pulses, a current intensity between the electrodes is between 10kA and 100kA. Electromagnetic pulses of average duration between 5 and 200ps are preferably generated. The process 100 may further comprise the following steps: the contents of the reactor 11 are sieved so as to separately extract the dissolved bitumen, if any, the dissolved soluble elements, and the liquid medium from the reactor 11, on the one hand, and the insoluble elements on the other hand. For example, the contents of the reactor are sieved to retain the insoluble elements having a particle size greater than or equal to 300 μm, preferably greater than or equal to 150 μm, and the dissolved bitumen, if any, the soluble elements are extracted separately from the reactor 11. dissolved and the liquid medium on the one hand and insoluble elements on the other.
